THE FINEST EXPRESSION IN DIGITAL SIGHT AND SOUND

When Philips invented laser videodisc technology, we envisioned uncompromised video performance. The CDV488 is the result of this philosophy. In fact, according to High Fidelity, it achieves " ...a level of performance that cannot be bested in any significant regard by any competitive product..." The CDV488 provides 300% sharper color fidelity than any consumer videotape, including Super VHS. And Philips' proprietary wide bandwidth CCD comb filter with S-video output enhances color detail and color accuracy even further. It also produces a remarkable 420+ lines of horizontal picture resolution--greater than many broadcast video recorders.

The universal remote allows you access to digital performance features like rock-solid still frames, single-frame advance and crisp slow motion on all videodisc formats. Add to this the jog shuttle that gives you the freedom to operate these effects from your armchair, and you begin to see why the CDV488 offers a home video alternative to the picture quality and special effects found in professional studios.

Remarkably, its high standards in digital video are matched by its specifications in audio. It features the latest Philips Select Grade TDA-1541-A S1 dual D/A Converter System, widely regarded as the premier D/A conversion technology available today.

From the company that created compact disc, now comes the CDV488. For those who insist upon the finest expression of digital sight as well as sound.
