Based on a complete in-house R&D effort using a non-compromising design approach,
the Stellar represents the ultimate video source component, and includes
numerous user-friendly features and functions. We've left no stone unturned in
offering this true state-of-the-art DVD-video player. With this goal in mind,
an optional progressive scan line doubler circuit is being made available
at either the time of purchase or as a factory upgrade; The Videon "Stingray" uses
Faroudja's DCDiä (Diagonal Correlation Deinterlacing)
technology to prevent the introduction of motion artifacts and jagged edges.
The Stellar also provides high performance audio CD playback.
