Features of DVD on this Product

High picture quality

???10 bit video D/A converter

Reproduces fine images faithfully.

???An array of picture quality modes yielded by digital processing

Signal deterioration is kept to minimum by processing the data digitally. This feature can be used to tailor picture quality for DVD playback.

High sound quality

??? 96 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converter

This player enables 96 kHz/24 bit linear PCM signals, the highest specifications in DVD standards, to be reproduced faithfully. To support 96 kHz sampling/24 bit sound, the shaping noise of this multilevel digital sigma type D/A converter is kept flat up to 44 kHz, thus preventing the audio signals from being affected in any way. This means sound is reproduced faithfully.

??? Dolby Digital/dts (digital theater systems) digital output (See pages 45, 47.)

By connecting a Dolby Digital/dts decoder or an amplifier incorporating a Dolby Digital/dts decoder, you can enjoy high quality digital surround sound from Dolby Digital/dts discs.

Graphical User Interface (GUl) screen (See pages 44 to 47.)

By simply pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control, information on the DVD/Video CD/CD player and disc can be displayed on the TV screen for easy identification. The player???s operations and settings can be easily accessed by operating the remote control while monitoring the TV screen. The color and position of the GUl screen can be changed.

Versatile DVD features

??? Multi-audio function (See pages 42, 45, 49.)

??? Multi-subtitle function (See pages 43, 45, 49.)

??? Multi-angle function (See pages 43, 45.)

This function allows you to choose the camera angle of scenes shot from different angles. (Limited to DVDs recorded with multiple camera angles.)

*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be selected by ???7 Digital Audio Output??? of the initial settings. (See page 52.) *2 Compressed sound converted to PCM will be output.

*3 The settings and connections necessary to enjoy CDs recorded in dts are the same as for DVDs recorded in dts.

Note:

??? Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts interface may not work properly with the DVD/Video CD/CD player.

For your reference:

???Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

???The digital theater system (dts) is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theatres around the world. It allows the bit rate to be increased in order to provide good sound quality without excessively compressing the data.

???Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

???If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
