DVD Audio Discs DVD-A

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multi- channel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than Audio CDs with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz (compared to 44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data (compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multi-channel sound quality that is closer to the artist’s master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.

If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to CD-quality sound even though you’re playing a DVD Audio disc.

Changing GROUPs DVD-A 1/6

Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player enables you to quickly access dif- ferent groups during playback via the on-screen display.

1.Press DISPLAY during playback on in Stop mode.

2.Use 3/4 to select Group icon.

3.Press 1/2 or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a group number.

ote

Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden con- tent that can only be accessed by entering a password. If the lock icon appears on the TV screen, enter the password (sometimes you’ll find it on the disc’s jacket cover or on a web site). This password control isn’t dic- tated by your DVD/CD receiver — it is a function of the disc.

Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.

Changing PAGEs DVD-A 1 /12

Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there are various ways to see what’s available on the disc.

1.Press DISPLAY during playback.

2.Use 3/4 to select the Page icon.

3.Use 1/2 to select a page number.

What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc because the information available depends upon the way the disc was created.
