DivX
DivX is a file format that allows movies to be compressed and fit onto a CD, as a DivX movie is about 8 to 12 time smaller than a DVD.

MP3 CD-R/RW
Supports playback of MP3 files recorded to CD-R/RW.

Progressive Scan
All LG AV Systems support Progressive Scan technology, which helps to relieve the eyes from fatigue when viewing over a long period of time. Progressive Scan projects all the colours onto the screen instantly, without any break between odd and even scanning lines, resulting in a flicker free and high density image. The picture quality is improved even more with DVFX TrueScan pro.
