Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on CDs and most studio masters.

Other features

7Parental Lock*

Audio features

7Multi-disc tray and continuous playback

You can set up to 7 discs on the disc tray carousel and playback them continuously.

7MP3 disc playback

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we refer to those discs as “MP3 discs” in this manual).

7High quality digital sound

Supports audio formats for DVD AUDIO including high sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz, the linear PCM multichannel format, up to 24-bit resolution and MLP, as well as the audio formats for DVD VIDEO such as Dolby Digital 5.1 ch. and DTS.

DOLBY DIGITAL

A surround audio format configured with six channels. Because the “sub-woofer” channel, one of the six channels, is an auxiliary channel, this format is called “5.1-channel system.”

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

A surround audio format configured with six (5.1) channels which is same as Dolby Digital. Because the compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)

A format for DVD AUDIO with the compression ratio of about 2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be completely recreated by the MLP decoder (required in all DVD AUDIO players). It supports up to 192kHz/24- bit.

7CD-R/CD-RW playback

You can playback a CD-RW disc recorded with the Audio CD format, and a CD-R disc recorded with the Audio CD, Video CD or MP3 format.

7Multi-language subtitles and sound*

You can select a subtitle or sound language from those recorded on the DVD VIDEO disc.

7Operation from the on-screen display

User-friendly on-screen displays allow you to operate the unit easily.

Functions with (*) mark only work on a DVD VIDEO disc that is compatible with each function.
