DVD-1500

Closed Caption

Provides on-screen closed captioning, similar to TV broadcasts, with DVDs that are closed caption encoded.

CD-R Audio Playback (*1)

The DVD-1500 plays CD-R audio discs.

Double-speed Drive System

Compression Function (*2)

The DVD-1500 includes a compression feature that is convenient late at night or other times when you want to listen to a recording at low volume. During normal playback, when the volume is turned down, the gaps between the loud and soft sounds are too great, making it more difficult to hear the sound effects or lyrics. The compression function, however, improves sound clarity at low volume levels.

The DVD-1500 is equipped with a drive mechanism capable of read- ing discs at double speed. Since information is read and held in a buffer before it is reproduced, if external vibrations or other factors cause the pickup to skip, the pickup has time to return to its correct position and avoid interruptions in sound. The DVD-1500 thus ensures stable play- back of the disc.
