What is Super VCD? (DV-533 and DV-533K only)

This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD standard. Compared to the Video CD standard, Super VCD offers superior picture quality, and allows two stereo soundtracks to be recorded. Super VCD also supports the widescreen size.

Compatible with a wide range of DVD digital audio output formats

1

DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output jacks of this player output Dolby*2 Digital, DTS*3, MPEG, and linear PCM digital bitstreams.

This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format. This allows playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital and MPEG without the need for a decoder.

TruSurround

TruSurround*4 uses technology that simulates multichannel surround sound using only two speakers. TruSurround works in conjunction with 2 channel audio sources to create a realistic surround sound.

MP3 compatibility

This player is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW and CD-ROM discs that contain MP3 audio tracks.

Video adjust function

[Fine Focus], [Contrast], [Sharpness], [Chroma level] and [Hue] picture quality adjustment settings are available. You can memorize up to three sets of picture quality settings (pages 31, 32).
