A screen saver keeps paused images from burning into your television if your viewing is interrupted, and parental controls help you keep the kids away from mature-content discs (high shelves are useful, too). Picture zoom (2x, 4x) lets you focus on scenes in greater detail, and the unit's fluorescent video display is snazzy and easy to read. The box includes the DVD player, a full-featured remote control, an owner's manual, a stereo analog audio/composite-video interconnect, and two AA batteries.
