<b>CinemaPlus for better, sharper and clearer images</b>
Feast your eyes on images that are razor sharp and a match for reality. An intelligent algorithm, CinemaPlus goes right down to each pixel in each frame, analyzing it before optimizing sharpness and color stability. The results are obvious - you get to see more details, pictures become crystal clear and everything looks superbly natural. Movie nights will never be the same again.
<b>HDMI 1080p upscales to high definition for sharper pictures</b>
HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p') eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio, without conversions to analog - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.
<b>DivX Ultra Certified for enhanced DivX video playback</b>
With DivX support, you are able to enjoy DivX encoded videos and movies from the Internet, including purchased Hollywood films, in the comfort of your living room.

DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.
<b>ProReader Drive for smooth playback on virtually any disc</b>
ProReader Drive lets you enjoy your movies and videos worry-free. Even when old discs get smudgy or scratched, you can rest assured that they will play right through from start to end - without any sign that they have been damaged. Using state-of-the-art technology, ProReader Drive converts weak analog signals into robust digital ones, extracting information that allows less-than-perfect discs to play smoothly through.

<b>EasyLink to control all HDMI CEC devices via a single remote</b>

<b>USB Media Link for media playback from USB flash drives</b>

<b>Karaoke Idol for interactive excitement and great fun</b>
Add more fun and excitement to your karaoke sessions. Karaoke Idol allows two or more singers to compete against each other for the crown.
