I read the following in the March 2004 Home Theater (page 28) stereo magazine:
Regarding the Pioneer DV59-AVi universal disc player, "The DV59-AVi uses 14-bit/216-MHz video DACs that deliver professional-quality video processing; higher bit rates translates into higher visual resolution. A new pixel conversion IC called T-Rex is also included, which automatically increases a DVD's pixel count from 720 by 480 to 1280 by 720 or 1920 by 1080 from all video sources. This specialized saurian chip allows for upconversion of traditional DVD signals to high-definition resolution"
Does anyone know what this means? Does it work, or is it a case of making something from nothing? Would this player display DVDs with a noticeable improvement (over other DVD players) on a Sony CRT 36HS500 TV, for example, with a component video connection?
I've read and heard many comments about the high reviews of the Denon universal DVD players, but haven't heard much about the Pioneer DVD products. In this magazine article, they seemed to indicate this Pioneer is a very top notch machine. Any comments? Thank you.
