America Debuts Two Multi-Media DVD Players; Progressive Scan Players Play or
Decode Seven Formats
HUNTINGTON
BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 19, 2004–Mitsubishi Digital Electronics
America today introduced two DVD players that can read and decode a wide
selection of disc formats. Mitsubishi debuted the DVD players, which will be
available at selected retailers in June, at its annual dealer line show
here.
Mitsubishi’s DD-6050 is a progressive scan DVD
player that can play CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, and decode JPEG, Kodak
Picture CD and MP3 files. It also gives the user the ability to adjust image
color, tint and gamma during DVD playback.
The new DD-8050 has all of the features of the DD-6050, plus a deluxe suite
of digital audio capabilities. Sound will never suffer, as the DD-8050 sports
six analog audio output jacks (left, right, center, rear left, rear right and
subwoofer) and built-in DVD-Audio, SACD, DTS(R) and Dolby Digital(R) 5.1
decoders, for faithful audio reproduction. This combination of jacks and
decoders allows the customer to connect it to a six-channel input or
surround-sound receiver, no matter what type of disc is played.
“The new Mitsubishi DVD players offer an unprecedented combination of sound
and picture performance,” says Max Wasinger, senior vice president of sales and
marketing for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “They bring out the best
from any media, be it music, movies, or photos. The owner can manage individual
color output, and actually improve on the original image. And with the DD-8050’s
audio suite, concert-like acoustics are easily attained.”
In separate announcements, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America introduced
its new lines of LCD and plasma displays, Digital Cable Ready projection
televisions, Digital Cable Ready microdisplay projection televisions, and its
expanded line of DVD players, HD digital recorders and analog VHS recorders.
