DVD-system DCS-323
Pioneer's new DCS-323 and DCS-424 offer an amazingly realistic home cinema experience:
- Hear even the quietest of whispers with Pioneer's Dialogue Enhancement feature. Using the left/right front speakers in addition to the centre speaker this dialogue enhancement mode ensures you can hear every line during a loud action scene
- With the easy room set-up function users can set the system according to the size and layout of the room and their positioning, ensuring maximum benefit of all audio features
- Combine DSP and Direct Diffuse technology for 3 Spot Front Surround set-up, where the rear speakers are positioned on top of the front speakers to provide a wider sweet-spot
- Chose either Pioneer's DCS-424 3-Spot Front Surround with tall boy front speakers or the DCS-323 3-Spot Front Surround with compact front speakers
The DVD home cinema experience is also dependent on the viewing clarity it provides. Pioneer continues to set the benchmark in this arena:
- Pioneer's Video Adjustment function provides easy adjustment of picture quality settings, including contrast, brightness and colours. Memory mode allows users to create their own presets, which can be dedicated to favourite films or genres, and can be recalled at any time, eliminating the need for adjusting the TV when switching between watching a DVD and a regular broadcast
- Both DVD Home Cinema Systems use RGB Video Output via Euro-SCART to create pure, high quality images
- Pioneer's DCS-424 and DCS-323 allow users to playback, besides DVD-Video, many additional types of disc formats, including VideoCD, SVCD, MP3, WMA and JPEG files on CD discs
- In addition these new DVD Home Cinema Systems also feature RW Compatibility, handling not only standard DVD Video mode home recorded DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, but equally well DVD-RW discs recorded in DVD Video Recording Mode with play list edits.
