Chapter 1 - What's New?
The popular fifth generation Sony DVD players introduced for the years 2001 and 2002 are physically and
electrically different from previous generation players; they have greater appeal and are lower in cost.
Physical Differences
The single disc players are thinner than the previous fourth generation models and take up less vertical space.
Some models are available in both black and silver (same model number) to blend with different decors. Two
models, DVP-F25 and DVP-F41, have slot type loading (like a car CD player) which makes them smaller; they
can also be played horizontally or vertically; a pedestal base can be attached to the side for vertical mounting, as
in Figure 1-1.
