V8500, and DVD-V9500 offer the best in DVD and
VHS capability in a sleek, space-saving design.

uncomplicated hook-up and easy playback no
matter the media type (except VCD). They are compatible with most DVD/CD formats and offer front A/V input jacks. The
DVD-V8500 steps-up with a 10-in-2 multi-card reader for digital photo viewing that accepts virtually every popular format of
memory card, including SD, Compact Flash, Mini SD, XD, MMC, Smart Media, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro. For HDTV
owners seeking the same DVD/VHS versatility in a single package, the DVD-V9500 combines DVD and VCR capabilities along
with advanced hi-def conversion technology that up-converts a DVD’s native resolution (480p) to output high-definition for-
mats (720p/768p/1080i). This allows HDTV owners to view their existing collections of DVDs and VHS tapes in high-resolution
formats. An HDMI port facilitates connections between components. The DVD-V9500 also includes a multi-TV remote control.

DVD-V9500 Step-up Features
◆ Given the increasing growth of HDTV, home theater aficionados find themselves with
digital televisions but a lack of high-definition programming to make the best use of
their investment. The DVD-V9500 open a vast library of DVD material by up-converting
a DVD's native resolution (480p) to output high definition formats (720p/768p/1080i).
Significantly, this process takes place entirely in the digital domain (in the DVD player
rather than in the TV) which eliminates data loss and other artifacts associated with
analog conversion.
◆ Has an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection to stream multi-chan-
nel digital audio and video information on one cable to compatible digital TVs and
monitors. An HDMI cable is included.
