Magnavox MDV453S Progressive-Scan DVD Player

Product Description

This Digital Video Disc Player provides high picture quality, clear sound, and endless playback features available on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Add options to your DVD viewing - watch a director's cut of a movie, listen to the producer's comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. You also can listen to Audio Compact Discs and MP3 files on this Player, or view JPEG images.

Amazon.com Product Description

Time to turn your living room into a home theater? Do it affordably with Magnavox's slim and stylin' MDV453S, which boasts high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs--perfect for high-definition and HD-ready TVs of today and tomorrow--and built-in JPEG image and MP3 music decoding so you can enjoy personalized digital-photo slideshows and multihour music mixes right in the comfort of your living room. If you or your loved ones are putting home videos on DVD, the MDV453S will play recordable DVD+R and DVD+RW formats, too.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions, while Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV). Other helpful features include an advanced, icon-driven GUI (graphical user interface), a screen saver (which helps prevent image burn-in on your TV screen while you've paused or stopped a disc), and auto power-off for energy savings.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, and stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

4 out of 5 stars Works well, has had a few "glitches".......2004-03-11

I have owned this about 6 mos. and it has worked great except once the "open" button on the unit stopped working and the buttons on the remote were acting funny, but this resolved after unplugging the unit for about 5 minutes. Reads my DVD+R backup copies of dvds perfectly. Overall very good for the money.

2 out of 5 stars Technically not a DVD player.......2003-12-10

This player did play DVD-R, -RW, and +RW (I didn't have a +R to try), but not well. It kept dropping frames (that is, the video would pause and then skip forward), which is generally a symptom of an MPEG decoder that can't keep up with the bitrate of the DVD. But the DVD was authored at 7.5Mbps max (average 5.5Mbps), and the DVD Forum standards specify that a DVD player must handle 9.8Mbps. This might not matter for most commercial DVDs, which (I've heard) tend to stay below about 5Mbps in order to coddle older players; but there are plenty of titles coming out these days that go for high bitrates to provide maximum quality. If this player can't handle them, then, technically, it is not a DVD player; it should not be advertised as such, and is probably not entitled to use the DVD Forum's DVD Video logo.

Of course, it's possible that the encoder I used to author my DVD was flawed; but it seems unlikely--all three of these discs played correctly in my AMW S99.

5 out of 5 stars This DVD player works great so far ..........2003-11-21

I have had this DVD player for about a month & have had no problems. The only complaint I have is minor and concerns the remote. The first time that I used this player I saw that both the fast forward and play buttons look exactly the same (but, aren't labelled) and the play button is very close to the down arrow button ... so, I found myself having to experiment with the buttons to navigate and hitting the wrong buttons.

          5 out of 5 stars Excellent corded headset.......2007-11-10

          I will keep this short.

          I love this. Great sound in and out. Mute. Variable volume control that works very well. The comfort is good. The design is unusual but it works for left or right. adjustable mic position. Good wind blocking. Never any complaints from the receiving party.

          I have had 2 of these. I ruined the first. In the end I liked it better than all the other corded headsets and went back.

          I would recommend this. I am very happy with it.

          5 out of 5 stars surprisingly great wind reduction.......2007-08-08

          This headset has wind reduction that works GREAT. I can drive on the freeway with the windows down and trucks going by, and the person I'm talking to can still hear me clearly.

          The reduction works best on wind, or noises that sound like wind (kinda white noise). So it doesn't reduce noise as well from, e.g. nearby radio music or loudspeaker announcements in the mall.

          The headset has a mute button, works well, convenient. The mute function is a mechanical switch (not an electrical button). The indicator that lets you know if it is muted or not is a red/green tab - it doesn't light up, hard to see in the dark.

          Also, the Amazon overview says that this headset has a call answer/end button - it does NOT. If you really need it, try the MX510-X1 Plantronics MX510-X1 Mobile Headset for most phones with standard 2.5mm headset jack - Audiovox, Bla - it is a similar headset that DOES have a call answer/end function.

          1 out of 5 stars Plantronics the best but this model not that Good.......2007-08-07

          Plantronics is known for making the best headsets but this model does not live up to that standard. The design is great but the clarity of voice (mic.) is low grade and the volume of voice sounds to your listener like you're talking into the mic. from another room.

          The purpose of this feature is to reduce background noise but I find it to not be usable for regular conversation is a quiet environment.

          4 out of 5 stars One BUTTON short of perfection........2007-05-21

          Amazon review of this item is wrong. It DOES NOT have a button that assists with making calls. Thing ONLY has a MUTE button. I was tricked. Anyhow, I still love it more than the headset I bought from sprint that keeps falling out of my ear. This headset is super comfy.

          4 out of 5 stars MX150 rated better.......2007-05-14

          I recently purchased both the MX505 and the MX150. According to the people I was talking to, the 505 had more "running water" sound in the background, making it harder to understand me. Keep in mind I'm a truckdriver often talking to other truckdrivers in noisy environments. At home in a quiet environment, it worked great attached to either my cell or my cordless phone.
