Reproduces fine images faithfully.

processing

High sound quality
• 96 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converter
This player enables 96 kHz/24 bit linear PCM signals, the
highest specifications in DVD standards, to be reproduced
faithfully. To support 96 kHz sampling/24 bit sound, the shaping
noise of this multilevel digital sigma type D/A converter is kept
flat up to 44 kHz, thus preventing the audio signals from being
affected in any way. This means sound is reproduced faithfully.

surround decoder (See pages 11 and 62.)
The advanced Dolby Digital /dts 5.1ch surround decoder
incorporated in this player comes with speaker mode settings
which support the low-range reproduction capability of the
