<b>HDMI output (480P/720P/1080i Scaling)</b>
HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. An all-digital, uncompressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source. DVD-1730 scaling circuit supports up to 1080i.
<b>Progressive Scan</b>
Progressive Scan technology represents a cast improvement over the interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it can process around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. High-definition video images are faithfully displayed with optimum naturalness and beauty. The DVD-1730 has a feature of manual IP detection mode selection. Even if a DVD-Video disc was mastered with wrong progressive flag or without a flag, the user can select a mode (Auto1, Auto2 or Video) to enjoy higher performance of picture quality.

(Supports WMA version 9)
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology. It claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry. If WMA is used to compress a music CD on a PC, for instance, using the Encoder 9, the quality of sound at 64 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original CD. WMA is now becoming a standard audio compression format rivalling the popularity of MP3.
