Audio CD (CDDA)

English		Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
		You will recognize these CDs by their
		logo. You can play them in conventional
		style through a stereo system, using the
	keys on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the
	TV using the On-screen Display (OSD).

Note: The DTS audio format discs are only compatible with the digital outputs for this player. If you play the discs on this player, distortion sound will come out from the analog outputs.

Digital video

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG 2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex images in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital images have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard. This dual-standard player can play both types, and presents them in the best possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.

As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal images on any TV screen.

DVD-Video

You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo.

Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series,

etc.), these discs may have one or more Titles, and each Title may have one or more Chapters. To make access easy and convenient, your player lets you move between Titles and between Chapters.

Video CD

You will recognize Video CDs by the

logo.

Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series,

etc.), these discs may have one or more tracks, and tracks may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case. To make access easy and convenient, your player lets you move between tracks and between indexes.

Regional restriction codes (region number)
