DVD Video - real universal dvd player

Default real universal dvd player


Is there such a thing as a universal dvd player that plays
dvd-audio, dvd video, sacd, MP3 and jpgs? I've found several
that do the first four but none that also do jpgs. This surprises
me and makes me wonder if they all do jpgs but don't come
out and say it. I really wouldn't mind burning CD-R's to create
slideshows of jpgs. It would be a good excuse for me to keep
hardcopies of my digital pictures. Right now, every couple of
months, I'll backup my photos to CD-R but I pack as many pictures
onto a CD as I can. It wouldn't be much of an effort to burn
a smaller group of pictures to a cd.

The Pioneer DV-563A does all that.

And so does my Magnavox MDV453. Less than $70.

Plays DVD-A and SACD? I don't think so.

Do you have any idea what DVD-Audio and SACD even mean? That magnavox plays
neither.

I don't think your Magnavox has the capability of playing an SACD or a
DVD-Audio disc to their fullest capabilities.

Besides, you are better off getting a Pioneer than a Crapavox.

Do you know who owns and makes Magnavox DVD players now? It's not Philips
anymore, buddy! It's Funai.
Magnavox, Sylvania, Emerson, and Symphonic are Funai brands, and they continue
the tradition of offering products that won't last three months at rock-bottom
prices. - Reinhart

Thanks! I had actually poked around their web site and had missed
this unit. They used to have a really nice web site but now it's
really hard to find anything. Even if you can find what you are
looking for, there isn't much information about their products
anymore.
