ROTEL
The RCD-1072
proves conclusively that cost-conscious high performance in a single disc CD player is still available – and still outperforming many
so-called “audiophile” DVD players.
Utilizing circuit configurations originally developed for Rotel’s reference-class components, this affordable unit redefines your sonic expectations. The segmented power supply features a large toroid transformer for minimal power supply “sag” as well as reduced hum emissions. High quality rectifiers, tight tolerance voltage regulation, and low-ESR storage capacitors make sure that all circuits always operate as their designers intended. The critical analog stage uses meticulously selected parts in a “minimalist” circuit environment to insure the finest sound quality.
The RCD-1072 uses the same over-scan disc mechanism once reserved only for premium priced players. The remarkable new Burr-Brown PCM-1732 IC provides advanced digital filtration, HDCD decoding, and precise D/A conversion. A coaxial digital output supplements the high current analog outputs. A high-density FL display, complete programming capability, remote control, and a 12-volt trigger complete the picture.

Kandy INTEGRATED CD PLAYER MkIII
The Kandy Integrated CD Player MKIII employs state-of-the-art technology and precision engineering to exploit the full potential of Compact Discs. The player's solid build – distinctly different to that of many entry-level machines – is mirrored by its smooth operation and polished, substantial sound. Regardless of the type of music, the Kandy CD player will capture the essence and passion of the performance, delivering it in finely etched detail but without the natural 'edge' heard with lesser machines

HDMI interface (DV-696AV-S, DV-490V-S)
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an industry-supported all-digital audio/video interface. Pioneer's new DVD players with HDMI outputs and video up-conversion allow viewers to watch and listen to DVDs with exceptional audio and video resolution. It also makes set-up and connection to the rest of A/V components much easier since everything can be connected through a single cable.
DivX® Playback
All the new Pioneer DVD players allow playback of DivX® files burned on a CD-R/RW/ROM disc. DivX® is a popular media technology including compressed digital video which ensures a high compression rate and fast transfer speed without appreciably compromising the picture quality. What's more, the DV-696AV-S is an official DivX® Ultra Certified product. This means the unit lets you enjoy DivX® files with interactive features like DVD Video - including menus, selectable subtitle languages/audio tracks, and so on.
Photo + Music Mix (JPEG Slideshow with Music)
Pioneer's new DVD players let you play back JPEG still photos and MP3/WMA music files at the same time. This means you can enjoy watching digital still photos enlarged on your TV screen while your favourite tunes play as background music - ideal for parties and more.
Dual PureCinema Progressive Scan
Dual progressive scan, the advanced version of the Pioneer's trademark technology, enables the DVD players to provide smooth, natural, film-like images free of bothersome artefacts like jagged edges on moving objects.
