Sampo DVE-631CF DVD Player with CF Reader and Photo Playback
Product Details
Sampo's revolutionary DVE-631CF is not only a DVD player, but also a digital photo playback system that allows you to easily navigate among digital pictures on your TV screen. It offers standard features such as component video output (Y/cb/Cr) for superior video playback on TV's equipped with component video inputs, optical and coaxial digital outputs for high performance audio playback, Dolby Digital and DTS audio format compatibility, and standard S-Video and composite video outputs for compatibility with nearly all televisions. The smart resolution converter can convert digital photos from basic VGA to multi-mega pixel resolutions to match the display capability of your television.
- Built-in CompactFlash card slot lets you view JPEG photos on your TV or monitor
- Play MP3 files from CD-R, CD-RW, and CF cards
- Dedicated subwoofer output for deep bass even without an AV receiver (speaker not included)
- High-quality component-video output (for use with compatible TV)
- Headphone jack with volume control
With the DVE-631CF's unique CompactFlash (CF) memory card and digital photo reader, you can share favorite digital photos without the aid of a computer or the hassle of attaching a digital camera to your TV. A thumbnail directory shows miniaturized versions of photos stored on the memory card, on CD-RW, or on CD-R. Simply use the DVE-631CF's remote-control keys to navigate between pictures. The resolution converter converts digital photos from basic VGA to multiple-megapixel resolutions to match the display capability of your television.
Advanced processing automatically adjusts the contrast and brightness of the video image to the contents of the video for improved picture quality. Black-level extender widens the player's contrast scale for more dynamic home theater images. Five digital memory markers let you zip right to favorite scenes, while digital zoom (up to 4x) magnifies favorite scenes. The DVE-631CF is also capable of playing MP3 music files stored on CD-R and CD-RW discs, as well as files from a CF memory card. The onboard 24-bit, 96 kHz digital-to-analog converter produces warm and natural digital audio.
The DVE-631CF features both coaxial and optical digital outputs for passing digital audio data to an external receiver or surround-sound decoder. If you don't have a surround receiver, the DVE-631CF's offers a dedicated analog subwoofer output so that you can enjoy the low-end slam of a powered subwoofer.

Customizable DVD Player - Justin - Bolingbrook, IL United States
I still use my Sampo DVD player. A while back it stopped reading all DVDs and started having difficulty changing layers on a DVD. I knew it was customizable for a techie, so I found a web site that detailed how to replace the DVD unit with a PC unit. This went off well and now my player is back in business. I love the remote - fits nice in the hand. I love the hacks - I can skip all the previews on any DVD and NEVER have to wait for previews or advertisements. I put a custom picture on the startup screen. I can press a "secret code" on the remote and customizable message pops up on the screen (how fun is that?). I love that I can use it to store music on the compact flash player insert. I will someday probably do the "hack" to replace the CF card reader with an IDE hard drive and put a lot more music inside the box. This DVD player plays DVDs very well and can do more than most older DVD players. If you come across someone selling one at a garage sale or on ebay - and it still works buy it! If you can get a broken one - the internet has lots of info to fix it.
