Nakamichi has established its reputation as a manufacturer of high performance and scrumptious looking designer style audio equipment that can easily give the better known Bang & Olufsen a run for their money.

Lumos portable DVD player is one of Nakamichi’s latest entries. Measuring at only 203 x 155 x 27 mm (that’s approximately 7.9” x 6.1” x 1” for us non-metric folks), it features a startlingly crisp 7” TFT-LCD widescreen color display with a resolution of up to 1440 x 234 pixels. It’s compatible with almost all the currently popular file formats: DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, MP3, DVD-R/RW, CDR/RW, JPEG, picture CD, CD+G. The video format even supports both NTSC and PAL. As if that’s not enough, an integrated SD card reader allows you to share the photos and movies captured with any SD-compatible digital camera.

When you’re sitting pretty at home, this player has a 5.1 channel digital audio output so you can hook it up to your surround sound stereo. Weighing only 480 grams (approx 16.9 oz, without battery), you can wrap this little baby around your finger by using the built-in leather strap, make a fashion statement and bring it anywhere. Have a business presentation to make? No problem. Equipped with an extendable stand, even a remote control, the Lumos boasts an uncompromisingly cinematic experience even at extremely tilted angle.

Priced at $3,980 HKD, that’s approximately $512 USD, it’s available at your nearest Nakamichi distributor, or contact its international headquarters in Singapore, Japan, or Hong Kong. Sorry, no email addresses were available.
