Manufacturer's description

First Sony helped create the DVD format. Then Sony introduced the DVD Player critics hailed as "the Reference Standard." Now Sony unleashes the most affordable DVD Player yet - the DVP-S300.

The DVP-S300 produces spectacular video pictures thanks to DVD's digital video. Horizontal resolution of over 500 lines allows for amazing picture detail. SmoothScan picture Search with 32-bit RISC microprocessor provides superior scan quality in Frame Advance, Slow Motion (at 1/10 and 1/5 speed) and High-Speed Search (at 2X, 10X and 30X speed)-all in forward and reverse. Dual Discrete optical pickup has separate lasers optimized for CD (780 nm wavelength) and DVD (650 nm). It enables stable, accurate playback of both types of discs. It eliminates lens switching, reduces laser wear and extends laser life.
