BRAVIA Sync
Thanks to the BRAVIA Sync function, one remote controller is all you need to simultaneously turn on your television, home theatre system, and start playing a loaded disc. With the touch of one button, you can enjoy your favourite movie and avoid needing a complicated remote control collection. One button, one remote, one system – yes, it really is that simple.
Multiple format disc playback
The DVPNS718H isn't just for movies. You can enjoy movies, as well as photos and music, in a wide variety of formats. The player supports DVD/DVD-RW/DVD-R/DVD+RW/DVD+R DL and CD-R/CD-RW discs runs WMA, AAC, LPCM, MPEG1, and JPEG files.
Dolby® digital output; dts® coaxial digital output
The DVPNS718H includes support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby and dts and provides connectivity to older receivers and televisions, making the player compatible with many existing audio systems. Also included is an analog audio two-channel output.
Precision Cinema Progressive™ technology
Many other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level; the Sony Precision Cinema Progressive system, however, detects image changes at the pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source -- whether film or video -- because special algorithms handle the different pixel behavior. The technology also employs separate algorithms to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from artifacts.
Precision Drive™ 3 system
Past generations of Precision Drive were only able to compensate for warped discs by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the amount of correction possible. Sony Precision Drive 3 simplifies the process by moving the lens -- instead of the entire optical block -- for faster and more accurate error correction.
Photo TV HD
Bring your photos to life and enjoy highly detailed, Full HD 1920 x 1080p images with the PhotoTV HD mode. PhotoTV HD works with your DVD player and HDMI output to fine tune sharpness, gradation, and color, displaying images that more closely match the look of printed photos.
Multiple-disc resume
With multiple-disc resume, you can power up and return to the last scene you were watching on up to six discs without having to search. Start and stop a movie or switch DVDs -- the player will know exactly where you last left off.
Exceeds ENERGY STAR® standards
Many home audio and video devices can use significant power, even when turned off and in standby mode. The DVPNS718H, however, was built for energy efficiency. It uses under 0.1W of power in standby mode, far exceeding ENERGY STAR® compliance levels and using less power than most other DVD players.
