Superlative audio performance from built in DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital*, DTS** and MPEG decoders

The 192kHz/24bit-compatible DAC inside the DV-S88A/ DV-S838A delivers breath-taking sound quality with DVD- Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

The DV-S88A/DV-S838A is compatible with both 2- channel (192kHz/24bit) and multi-channel (96kHz/24bit) DVD-Audio discs thanks to its 5.1-channel audio outputs.

In addition, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoders are built-in so you can connect the DV-S88A/DV-S838A directly to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs to enjoy cinema-like surround sound.

525 line digital progressive-scan component video output (NTSC)

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.

The DV-S88A/DV-S838A offers complete flexibility and compatibility with all types of AV equipment with composite video and S-Video outputs, as well as component video outs.

Digital Noise Reduction PRO (Video Quality Enhancer)

This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video (called VQE or Video Quality Enhancer) enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), Projector, and Professional. This technology can remember which setting you’ve chosen and employ it at the proper time.

Frame Search

The NTSC system displays pictures at 30 frames/ second; PAL* at 25 frames/second. With this DVD player you can locate and display a specific frame from anywhere on the disc.

* Playback of PAL discs is not possible on the DV-S88A.
