The following information summarizes a few of these features. Chapters 3 and 4 provide more information about the rest of the TV/DVD's features and how to use them. Precision CRTs Your TV/DVD features Precision CRTs. These Precision CRTs (cathode ray tubes) produce sharp, high-resolution images, with great detail and better transition between images than regular CRTs. DVI-HDTV Input Your TV/DVD's DVI-HDTV input lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an uncompressed, digital video interface developed for highbandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to display either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second. mp3 Audio Disc Playback Description: Your DVD player can play compatible mp3 audio files recorded on CD-R discs. Requirements: The discs must be recorded on compatible equipment (Chapter 7 has details) and the DVD player must be on. The On-Screen DVD Information Display Description: The Info Display is an on-screen banner that provides access to certain features while you're playing a disc.
