Audio DVD discs
Audio DVD is a new digital recording format for audio discs.This format is based on the success of Video DVDs containing 5.1 multichannel sound.
Audio DVD therefore gives you new sound sensations by spreading the sound over 6 loudspeakers (6 x 96 KHz/24 bits analogue channels). If possible, therefore, you should connect the player to a
5.1amplifier using the 6 channels (marked (5) on page 6) as this gives the best 5.1 sound quality. Connecting the player in this way is also recommended for Video DVDs.
Many Audio DVDs contain video, in the form of information (bibliographies, titles list, etc.), video clips, photos, etc.
Audio DVDs contain large amounts of varied information.The way in which this information is presented varies from one disc to another.With some Audio DVDs, you can display the images contained on the disc, one at a time, using the info banner’s Browser (Browse) icon.
Note : in accordance with the DVD standard and the protection of copyright, the quality of the Audio signals available through the digital output connections (marked (6) on page 6) is limited, to match that of Audio CDs (48 KHz/16 bits).
Hidden information is sometimes contained on a disc. To see this information, you must first enter a password, which is generally shown on the disc’s cover or on the disc itself. This password is only linked to the disc; it is unrelated to your player. The disc’s password can sometimes be found on the publisher’s Web site.
