An HDMI connection allows for seamless flow of both video and audio data from the DVD player to the HDTV. The HDTV also plays host to 3D Virtual Surround Sound technology, for audio that’s as pleasing as the visuals. Support for JPEG display and MP3 Playback round out its list of surface-level features. Undoubtedly, although the Toshiba XDE500 doesn't play HD DVD or Blu-Ray, it will make the very most of your standard definition DVDs and create a whole new movie experience for you.

State-of-the-art picture enhancements
What separates the XD-E500rf from the pack of upconverting DVD players is Toshiba's exclusive XDE ("eXtended Definition Enhancement") technology. You can choose from three different upconversion modes: Sharp, Color, and Contrast. "Sharp" boosts edge detail only where needed, so it doesn't introduce video noise like some other sharpness controls. The resulting image looks remarkably crisp and clean.

The "Color" setting delivers richer blues and greens — a great option for movies with lots of outdoor scenes. You'll see deep blue skies and lush vegetation. "Contrast" enhances dark portions of an image to deliver fine shadow detail without making the picture look too bright or washed out. With all three XDE modes, the level of enhancement changes as needed on the fly, so images seem to pop off the screen without looking artificial.

Fluid movie playback and much more
The XD-E500RF can also output 1080p signals at a film-faithful rate of 24 frames per second, for smooth, cinematic images with compatible HDTVs. And in addition to sprucing up the look of your DVDs, the XD-E500RF also plays regular music CDs, MP3 and WMA CDs, plus JPEG picture discs. With our Region Free modification you will also be able to play Pal and NTSC dvd movies from any region in the world.
