such as 576p, 720p, and 1080i. Interlaced-to-progressive conversion
and scaling are performed by a high-quality Marvell Qdeo video-

algorithms designed to erase video noise and artifacts such as jaggies
and feathering. Played back on a compatible wide-screen display, your
Blu-ray Discs and DVDs will look more detailed and cinematic than

The BD-SP808's onboard decoders bring you the lossless, studio-
master quality of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential
carried on Blu-ray Disc. The player outputs these formats in pure
bitstream form via HDMI 1.3a, meaning nothing is lost from the

output in full high-definition 1080p at 24 frames per second—the
native frame rate for movies. The BD-SP808 also offers compatibility
with the increasingly popular AVCHD and DivX HD formats, which
employ high-compression video codecs. Now you can enjoy big-screen
playback of high-definition video clips stored on a disc or SD card.

Internal components that can cause vibrations are fixed directly onto
the high-rigidity chassis or near the feet of the unit. Since the feet
themselves have a large circumference, they provide further protection
from vibrations. The BD-SP808 features an independent digital and
analog block design that reduces electromagnetic interference from the
system power, drive mechanism, and signal-processing circuits. Further
proof of this player's superior build quality comes in the form of gold-
plated audio and video outputs and 19 mm-pitch audio outputs for
connection to high-grade cable.
