Description
I hooked up the machine and it does play DVDs but does not play CDs. The DVD playback is impressive but it is ready for some TLC. This Arcam DiVA DV79 player comes in a sleek black color and includes an original box, remote, and manual. It is manufactured in the United Kingdom and is perfect for anyone willing to do some handy work. I will pay for free shipping to destinations within the continental United States. Here is the Overview from ARCAM´s Website: Stunningly natural interlaced and progressive video performanceFirst affordable UK-built player with HDMI video outHighest quality PAL 625p progressive scan video6 x 12 bit 216 MHz video DACs for analogue videoAudiophile sound from DVD-Audio, DVD-Video & CDDD, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II audio decodingAdjustable global audio delay for use with digital displaysRS-232 controlThe DV79 has an HDMI* digital video output for the latest plasmas and projectors, plus interlaced and progressive analogue video (both 525p and 625p) for existing displays. It has an exceptionally high level of video performance, delivering film-like clarity, depth and smoothness from even poorly coded DVDs.Special attention has been paid to sound quality both for DVD-Audio and CD replay via the analogue outputs – an area where nearly all DVD players fall short of audiophiles’ expectations. On music the DV79 will not disappoint. The player has 5.1 channel decoders for Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, as well as Dolby Pro Logic II decoding for 2-channel music and movie sources. It includes a unique audio delay manager (variable from 0 to 150ms) to compensate for the video processing delays inherent in modern digital displays.The new Arcam remote handset the CR415 is used. This is logically laid out, with highly legible buttons and with key controls colour-coded to provide fast and intuitive access to all functions. A front panel NAVIGATION button allows direct access to the DV79’s setup menu and disc menu; RS232 control is also provided as standard.
