Coby's DVD-515 plays your favorite DVDs and a range of popular digital media files, offering MP3 listening convenience alongside high-end video functionality--including a dedicated progressive-scan VGA computer-monitor output so you can take advantage of your monitor's high-end video abilities even if your home-theater TV is SD (standard definition). The player also works well with older audio/video receivers, which may lack digital-audio inputs: the DVD-515 decodes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround formats.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-515 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.

Top-of-the-line component-video outputs (switchable between progressive-scan and standard interlaced video) 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 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, or you can take advantage of the unit's built-in decoding and use it with a "surround-ready" receiver as mentioned above.
