3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:

A Display
First, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
3D Content
3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game.
3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands.
HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.

Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.

Sony RDR-GX7 DVD Recorder

Sony RDR-GX7 DVD Recorder Review



Sony RDR-GX7 DVD Recorder Feature

  • DVD+RW/-RW/-R DVD Format Recording Compatibility
  • Precision Cinema Progressive 480P for Recording and Playback
  • One Touch Dubbing for DV/D8 Via i.LINK Interface
  • User Friendly Graphic User Interface
  • Variable Bit Rate for Adjustable Recording Times (60-360 Minutes)
Sony RDR-GX7 component DVD recorder is the world's first standalone, dual-RW (DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW) home DVD player/recorder. Its format versatility gives you nearly complete recording and viewing freedom--the flexibility to create or view optical media for or from most computer DVD recorders. Further, the machine can accommodate the recordable optical formats required by any of your friends and family, regardless of their DVD players (though some older players do not play recordable media).

The RDR-GX7's sophisticated camcorder control capabilities lets you manage a range of dubbing and editing functions when you connect a Digital Handycam or Digital8 camcorder through the i.LINK (IEEE 1394) interface. One-touch dubbing fosters easy tape-to-disc conversion, and you can delete unwanted scenes or make a compilation of your favorite scenes with flexible editing functions such as program edit and advanced program edit.

Several picture-enhancing technologies are aimed at creating high-quality recordings, especially when transferring images from video sources such as VHS or 8 mm camcorders. The unit can play back DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs--offering a wealth of musical enjoyment alongside its extensive video capabilities.

The playback capability of the DVD recorder is said to be comparable to the high-end DVD players in Sony's acclaimed ES line. The player/recorder delivers stunning home-theater effects through a variety of high-performance features that optimize picture quality and effectively remove noise, such as a 12-bit, 108 MHz video digital-to-analog converter with Noise Shaped Video technology, motion-adaptive field noise reduction, pre-frame noise reduction, and pre-video equalizer technologies. Variable bit-rate MPEG encoding ensures maximum efficiency and recording time (60 to 360 minutes) for all applicable DVD media.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the RDR-GX7 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. 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. Using Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive technology, the recorder also encodes your DV (digital video) input sources in pristine 480p formatting.

During playback, the RDR-GX7 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. 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.

Two sets of left/right analog-audio inputs and one set of outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Despite its advanced functionality, the RDR-GX7's intelligent onscreen graphical user interface (GUI) is entirely user-friendly, helping you create personal DVD titles with thumbnail pictures and operate the recorder through the sophisticated Remote Commander remote control. There's no need to cue or rewind tape here, so accessing precise points in your programming is nearly effortless.

What's in the Box
DVD player/recorder, user's manual, audio/video cord, 75-ohm coaxial video cable, Remote Commander remote control, and two AA batteries. The SONY RDR-GX7 is the express train to excellence as it gives you the capability of recording a DVD for playback on this or virtually any other DVD player available. Pre-frame / Post-frame noise reduction Variable bit rate for adjustable recording times (60 - 360 minutes) Linear and non-linear editing Precision Drive System (2 laser assembly) 500 Line Video Horizontal Resolution DVD Audio Frequency Response - 96kHz PCM - 2-44,000 Hz +/- 1.0dB CD Audio Frequency-Response - 2-20,000Hz +/- 0.5dB Video Inputs - S-Video (2), Composite (2), i.LINK(R) Video Outputs - RF, S-Video (2), Composite (2), i.LINK, Component Optical & Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs Includes 75 ohm coaxial cable, A/V cable, remote control Size - 3.5H x 17W x 15D Weight - 12.6 lbs.

Pioneer PD-M426 6-Disc Magazine CD Player

Pioneer PD-M426 6-Disc Magazine CD Player Review



Pioneer PD-M426 6-Disc Magazine CD Player Feature

  • 6-disc magazine CD changer with single magazine and remote control
  • 1-bit digital-to-analog audio converter and low-noise, low-loss laser pickup
  • 32-track programming, random play (1 or all discs), and 5 unique repeat modes
  • Hi-Lite Scan plays 10 seconds from each track; timer playback when connected to external timer
  • Includes system remote in/out jacks; measures 16.56 by 4.12 by 11.56 inches (W x H x D); 1-year warranty
Easy to manage and outfitted with a nice array of features, the Pioneer PD-M426 CD changer stores up to six CDs at once in its removable magazine, keeping the music flowing for hours. A magazine CD changer is ideal for listeners who like to organize their music by theme or artist. All they need to do is remove one magazine and insert another whenever they want to enjoy a different genre or set of CDs (each additional magazine is sold separately). It's a great way to downshift from upbeat dance tunes to mellow trance music while hosting a party, or to listen to a favorite artist's entire catalogue while cleaning the house.

The audio sounds smooth and precise thanks to the 1-bit digital-to-analog converter and the low-noise, low-loss laser pickup. Among the playback functions are 32-track programming, which lets the listener create a custom soundtrack (the programmed tracks even stay in the memory after the unit shuts off); random play (one or all discs); and five unique repeat modes. An added convenience derives from the Delete Program Playback function, which lets listeners delete tracks or discs that they don't want to play without removing the CDs from the magazine.

Additional features include Hi-Lite Scan, which plays roughly 10 seconds from the first track on either one or all the discs; timer playback when connected to an external timer unit; a programmable pause function (useful when recording onto a cassette); a full-function remote control; and system remote in/out jacks. The remote jacks let users connect the CD changer to a compatible Pioneer receiver, and then control the changer using the receiver's remote.

The PD-M426 measures 16.56 by 4.12 by 11.56 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
PD-M426 CD changer, one magazine, remote control, user's manual. Pioneer Six-Disc Playback for Continuous Music Play Magazine Style Changer for Easy Playback and Storage Magazine Hi-Lite Scan Last Disc Memory Comes with Full-Function Remote Control

JVC XV-FA902SL 7-Disc DVD Player , Silver

JVC XV-FA902SL 7-Disc DVD Player , Silver Review



JVC XV-FA902SL 7-Disc DVD Player , Silver Feature

  • 7-disc changer compatible with DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, VCD, SVCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and JPEG- and MP3-encoded discs
  • Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output renders seamless, flicker-free images on HD and HD-ready TVs
  • Custom 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. digital-to-analog audio converter with 192k Hz/24-bit resolution ensures premium-quality sound
  • VFP (Video Fine Processor) adjusts seven picture parameters for optimum viewing in different settings
  • Decodes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround; 3D-Phonic virtual surround simulates surround sound through two speakers
At less than 5 inches tall, this DVD-Audio-equipped seven-disc DVD/CD player is as sleek as it is powerful. The carousel-style changer offers play exchange (swap up to six discs while one plays), high-resolution DVD-Audio capability with JVC's custom 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. digital-to-analog audio converter, and premium-quality progressive-scan video (for use with a high-definition or HD-ready TV). The unit also plays MP3 music and JPEG image CDs.

DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity stereo and six-channel sound at 192k Hz/24-bit resolution and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. As an antipiracy measure, the XV-FA902SL performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs. The unit also decodes standard Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound through those same analog outputs, while digital-audio outputs (one each coaxial and optical) provide the option of direct digital connection to a receiver. For stereo-only setups, 3D-Phonic virtual surround sound simulates surround through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).

JVC's Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output, quantified 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. High-quality component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs ensure compatibility with nearly any set. VFP (Video Fine Processor) provides seven-parameter picture adjustment: gamma, brightness, contrast, color, tint, sharpness, and Y delay. In addition to two factory presets (normal and cinema), there are two user-selectable memories. Other features include gold-plated analog outputs, digest (for visual access to desired title/chapter), a high-resolution GUI (graphical user interface), and 13-step zoom (from .125x to 1024x). The player comes with a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, a user's manual, and a glow-in-the-dark multibrand remote control. The JVC XV-FA902 introduces a 7-disc carousel changer with "Play & Exchange" for an "all-in-one" player that people are looking for. Not only does it play DVD & CD; it also plays DVD-R, MP3 on CD-R/ CD-RW, SVCD, VCD and digital stills (JPEG on CD-R/CD-RW). The XV-FA902 is packed with many exciting features such as DVD audio format playback, progressive scan, Digital Direct, 3-D phonic sound, variable and slow search, zoom, digest and strobe play, angle list, resume function and AV Compulink. Fiber optic and coaxial digital audio outputs with Dolby Digital & DTS pass-through are provided for easy connection to any system.

  • Record MP3s or CDs at up to 32x speed on affordable MD media for over 5 hours of music per standard 80-minute disc
  • Up to 56 hours of playback 1 AA battery
  • Easy Skip group/folder navigation in player; plays ATRAC3, MP3, WMA, and WAV files
  • Sony's ATRAC3 DSP encoder improves audio quality in high frequencies over previous MD compression schemes
  • Music-management software ensures seamless file transfers to and from your hard drive; multi-speed transfers via USB port
Sony's MZ-N505S high-speed Net MD Walkman player/recorder records MP3s or audio CDs directly to minidiscs at up to 32x speed using a USB connection. Now, affordable minidisc media can store more than five hours of music per standard 80-minute minidisc. A single AA battery provides up to 56 hours of playback (in LP4 mode), and the player's easy-skip group/folder function lets you navigate minidiscs with ease.

In addition, this recorder supports multiple Internet audio formats, including MP3 and WMA, and enables ATRAC3 playback. ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) is the data-compression scheme developed for minidisc, and ATRAC3--the format used by Sony's Memory Stick--offers even greater compression while maintaining near-CD quality. The Net MD Simple Burner QuickRip CD-dubbing application facilitates fast transfer of CDs to minidisc without the need to store files on a hard drive as an interim step. Simply launch the application and select the tracks you want to transfer to the player. (Actual transfer speed depends on your PC.)

The player records in standard mode for the richest sound quality or two different long-play modes for the most effective use of space. The bundled OpenMG Jukebox management software supports secure music downloads (including tracks from pressplay.com), organizes playlists, and titles tracks. As with all minidisc products, this Net MD player records from various sources and offers flexible audio editing tools. Minidisc media is affordable, durable, and re-recordable up to a million times without degradation.

Sony's ultra skip-free G-Protection technology reduces or eliminates skipping for active users who want uninterrupted music. The package includes OpenMG Jukebox software, QuickRip CD-dubbing application, one blank 80-minute minidisc, headphones, and a USB connecting cable. Net MD Walkman players are compatible with Microsoft Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me, and XP operating systems. Sony's MZ-N505 Net MD Walkman Recorder has everything you need to create great-sounding music mixes in record time. In addition to transferring your music in up to 32x speed, title and track information created in OpenMG Jukebox is transferred to the MiniDisc. With Easy Skip group folder function, you can arrange songs into groups or "albums" in OpenMG Jukebox and easily transfer them to the MZ-N505 Net MD Recorder. If you record five hours of music, you can simply skip from group to group to suit your mood. And your mood can change as many times as you want with up to 56 hours of playback with one "AA" alkaline battery. You even get a choice of 12 playback modes for a choice of programs for shuffling, repeating and grouping tracks. Get your downloads - even faster - and Go with Net MD Walkman!

Samsung DVD VR329 - DVD recorder/ VCR combo

Samsung DVD VR329 - DVD recorder/ VCR combo Review



Samsung DVD VR329 - DVD recorder/ VCR combo Feature

  • Combo DVD/VCR with capability of converting VHS tapes to DVD; measures 17 x 3.1 x 10.6 inches (WxHxD)
  • Full-function VCR; timed and one-touch VCR and DVD recording
  • Records to DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, dual-layer DVD-/+R, DVD-RAM; plays CD-R/RW discs and MP3, JPEG files
  • Connections: 1 component out, 1 composite out, 1 S-Video out, 1 Firewire in, 1 RF in, 1 RF out
  • Digital optical and digital coaxial audio output for home theater surround sound
Samsung's DVD-VR329 provides the best of both worlds, with the ability to record home movies and TV programming to a wide variety of DVD discs while enabling you to continue playing your vast VHS library. Additionally, the 4-head VCR offers a full complement of standard recording and playback options as well as the ability to easily convert VHS tapes to DVD. A front-panel DV (FireWire IEEE 1394) input enables you to connect the family video camcorder and edit and record footage directly to a DVD disc--all via a single cable and without losing image quality. The EVQ (Enhanced Video Quality) feature provides sharper images and truer color reproduction for both movies and home videos. EVQ reduces pixel noise produced during digital signal processing, mitigates the cross color phenomenon occasionally produced by separation of Y & C signal. It offers a full menu of DVD recording options, including DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW as well as DVD-RAM discs--a very flexible format that allows you to re-record on the disc up to several thousand times. Additionally, it offers recording compatibility with DVD-/+R discs--enabling you to store up to 8.5 GB of video on these two-sided discs. You can program recording via the timer, or choose easy one-touch recording (initiating playback at 30 minutes and adding 30 minutes with each additional press of the button, up to the available disc time or 240 minutes, whichever is sooner). Chapters are created when you record your favorite TV show or video clips from a camcorder onto a DVD disc. The chapters are automatically created, which eliminates wasted time searching the whole DVD to find the right spot. Up to 99 titles can be recorded onto one disc. With the simple and easy edit function menu, you can delete, copy, rename, and lock, among other things. What's in the Box: DVD/VCR combo, remote control (with batteries), printed operating instructions
