Amazon.com Product Description
The versatile Sony DVP-NC685V 5-disc carrousel changer plays audio CDs, DVD, and SACDs, and it's compatible with CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R/RW, and DVD-R/RW discs. The carrousel enables you to play one disc while changing the remaining four. It's compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and features a multibrand remote control, custom parental control feature, and MP3 audio compatibility. Other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level; Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. In addition to standard 2-channel CD playback, the DVP-CX985V plays 2-channel and multichannel Super Audio CDs. Playing MP3 audio is also easy. As soon as you load an MP3-encoded disc and press the Menu button, you'll see a display of the files and folders found on the disc. Other features include:

The included remote operates the DVP-NC685V as well as a number of functions on select brands of televisions and receivers; its keys glow in the dark.
The Instant Replay feature enables you to go back 10 seconds to review a scene with a single press of a button.
The TV Virtual Surround feature generates a convincing surround-sound effect using only 2 stereo speakers.
Dolby Digital and DTS optical/coaxial output
192 kHz, 24-bit digital-to-analog converter

Tech Talk
Super Audio CD (SACD): SACD is a high-resolution digital audio format that promises vast sonic improvements over the current audio CD format. SACDs can be played back on dedicated SACD players or combination SACD/DVD-Video players. Certain SACDs feature a conventional audio CD layer (hybrid SACDs), which can be played back by any CD player or computer with a CD-ROM drive. Progressive scan: Also called sequential scanning, a progressive-scan system displays the entire image--providing all the horizontal lines per frame, rather than every other line--once every 60th of a second. This method reduces flicker and increases stability. Progressive-scan viewing requires a compatible digital TV. Component video: Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through these three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections. What's in the Box
