Samsung Debuts Latest Multimedia Progressive Scan DVD Player
Reprinted from a Samsung press release:
Las Vegas, NV — Samsung Electronics America, Inc., builds on its leadership of multimedia progressive scan
DVD players with the debut of the DVD-P731M progressive scan DVD player. The new model offers
incredible playback flexibility, supporting not only DVD discs, but also multiple flash memory formats
including: Memory Stick, Secure Digital, Smart Media, and Multi-Media cards with a single bay/port. The
DVD-P731M is on display at the Samsung booth (#12016 Central Hall LVCC) during the Consumer
Electronics Show, January 9-12, 2003.
With an elegant titanium finish, the DVD-P731M is the perfect stylish addition to a home theater system.
Support for 480p progressive scan video output ensures that the DVD-P731M outputs the highest-quality
DVD video possible.
“Enabling flash memory playback via Samsung’s DVD players adds convenience and simplicity to consumers
wanting to view pictures on their big screen TVs or listen to MP3 digital audio on their large speakers,” said
JR deSouza, Marketing Manager of Digital Video, Samsung Electronics America.
When used with a compatible digital television monitor, the DVD-P731M offers crystal clear, flicker-free
images through Samsung’s 480p progressive scan system-a boon to the DVD movie buff. The model is also
a digital photographer’s dream offering support for four flash memory formats: Memory Stick, SD, Smart
Media and Multi-Media Card formats. That makes the DVD-P731M perfect for fast viewing of digital images
or the playback of digital music. As an added bonus, the model can playback JPEG CDs and Photo CDs.
Samsung’s DVD-P731M isn’t just great with video formats it also works wonders on music playback,
supporting CD, MP3, WMA, and CD-R/RW music formats. The memory card function can also be used for
playback of digital audio files, such as MP3s.
A sleek remote control allows users to glide through DVD menus - or the player’s advanced on-screen
graphic user interface that controls the players’ functions - with their fingertip. A shuttle dial on the
front-panel also allows for easy navigation and there’s a headphone jack with volume control on the front
of the player.
Samsung’s DVD-P731M (MSRP $229) ships in July.
