About DVDs

Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the digital data is recorded. The data is represented as microscopic pits recorded into the track – these pits are read by a laser beam to play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain more data in less space.

In addition, DVDs offer a variety of functions.

• Multiple audio* (page 18)

Movies can be recorded in up to eight languages. The

desired language can be selected from the remote control

unit.

• Subtitles function* (page 19)

Movies can include subtitles in up to 32 languages. The

desired subtitle language can be selected from the remote

control unit.

• Multi angle function* (page 18)

When the DVD contains a movie shot from multiple angles,

the desired angle can be selected from the remote control

unit.

With the addition of an optional, digital audio processor (PXA-H900/PXA-H510/PXA-H700), you can recreate the power and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel Surround.
