Experience the ultimate in home entertainment with the Sony DVP-CX985V, a revolutionary progressive-scan DVD and SACD player designed for those who appreciate high-quality audio and video. This device is not just a player; it’s a comprehensive entertainment system that holds up to 400 discs, allowing you to store your entire movie and music library in one convenient location.

The DVP-CX985V is compatible with a variety of disc formats, including DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R, SACD (Super Audio CD) multichannel discs, as well as CD-R/RW discs that contain CD and MP3 audio. This versatility ensures that you can enjoy all your favorite media without hassle.

One of the standout features of the DVP-CX985V is its Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) technology. Unlike ordinary DVD players that detect image changes at the scan line level, the PCP system operates at the pixel level. This advanced processing delivers a picture that remains true to the source material, whether it be film or video, resulting in a viewing experience that is both sharp and lifelike.

The device employs separate algorithms for processing moving and still images, which enhances the clarity of backgrounds and eliminates motion artifacts that can detract from the viewing experience. With a high-speed 108MHz/12-bit video D/A converter and 4X oversampling, noise is effectively filtered, ensuring that the picture quality is consistently high.

In addition to standard 2-channel CD playback, the DVP-CX985V supports both 2-channel and multichannel Super Audio CDs, providing an expansive soundstage that audiophiles will appreciate. The player reads disc information for all stored discs and loads this data into memory, allowing for easy access to titles and other relevant information displayed on your television screen.

For connectivity, the DVP-CX985V is equipped with a variety of output options. Video output includes component video (1 port), S-Video (1 port), composite video (1 port), coaxial digital (1 port), and optical digital (1 port). On the audio side, it features analog audio (1 port) and a 5.1 channel output (1 port), making it easy to integrate into your home theater system.

The included remote control not only operates the DVP-CX985V but also manages functions on select brands of televisions and receivers, adding convenience to your entertainment setup. The remote keys glow in the dark, making it easy to find controls in low light.

With the Instant Replay feature, you can easily revisit a scene by going back 10 seconds with just a press of a button. The TV Virtual Surround feature creates an immersive surround-sound effect using only two stereo speakers, enhancing your audio experience without the need for a complex speaker setup.

When it comes to audio quality, the DVP-CX985V excels. It supports Dolby Digital and DTS output, ensuring that you enjoy your media with the best possible sound quality. The high-resolution Super Audio CD (SACD) format offers significant improvements over traditional audio CDs, promising a richer and more detailed listening experience.

In summary, the Sony DVP-CX985V is not just a player; it’s a powerful multimedia hub that transforms your home entertainment experience. With its impressive storage capacity, compatibility with multiple formats, advanced video processing, and user-friendly features, this player is a must-have for any serious movie buff or music lover.
