Portability and versatility are essential concepts in technological design nowadays, as most users look for portable devices capable of carrying out a wide variety of functions in several environments. And that's exactly the reason why the Sarotech company launched in the first half of 2007 its abigs DVP-260 model, a portable multimedia player that provides quite a wide range of connectivity options, thus making it suitable to be used either on the go or as a part of the user's home multimedia system.



Thus, the player can be easily connected to a car's audio/video system, providing the users with portable entertainment options, including video playback (if the respective user does have a portable display built-within his car). Moreover, for the normal automobiles, the device also comes packed with a 4-channel FM transmitter that works on the 87.7MHz – 88.9MHz frequencies and transmits the music stored onto the device's memory directly into the car's audio system.



However, the device can also be easily connected to a normal television set, via its composite, S-Video or HD Component cables, as well as to a home theater – type stereo system, since it sports a 2-channel analog audio output and a 5.1-channel digital audio output.



This model is quite versatile from the point of view of supported files, since it works with movies in AVI(Divx 3.x/4.x/5.x, Xvid), ISO,IFO,DAT, MPG, VOB formats, music in MP3,OGG Vorbis, WMA, AC3 and PCM(WAV) formats and can even be used for viewing JPEG files. It supports smi, srt and sub subtitles, and can attain some pretty high resolutions, namely 480i, 480p, 576i, 720p and 1080i.



The abigs DVP-260 portable multimedia player is available at several online retailers for around 150 - 390 US dollars, depending on the provided storage capacity, which are actually some pretty decent prises for these things, considering the numerous playback and connectivity options they can provide.
