INTRODUCTION
DVD-VIDEO-THE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIUM FOR THE MILLENIUM
Video was never like this before! Perfect digital studio-quality pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multichannel audio. Story sequences screened from your own choice of camera angle. Language barriers broken down by sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus subtitles - when you want them - as many as 32. And whether you watch DVD-Video on wide- screen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.
THE PHILIPS MATCHLINE PLAYER: DVD-VIDEO AT ITS BRILLIANT BEST
Top model of the Philips DVD-Video player range, the DVD930/935 Matchline player guarantees you the highest quality, convenience, and simplicity of operation available in this new medium. What’s more, it gives you outstanding reproduction of Video and Audio CDs. Thus, you get the best of both worlds - upgrading to DVD-Video, while still enjoying the unrestricted use of your existing disc collection.
That’s player performance out of the top drawer, from Philips. And it’s guaranteed by the most advanced technology, and based on the longest experience, in the optical disc industry.
DIGITAL VIDEO
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 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 pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures 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 present them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.
CONSTRUCTION
DVD has afour times denser recording pattern, and only half the focal length of CD. But full compatibility demands accurate signal readout from both types of disc. That’s why this player features a Dual-lens,single-laser optical pickup, guaranteeing the best accuracy in both cases. The individual lenses are optimized for spherical aberration, which is not possible with dual-focus hologram systems. Lens selection is automatic whenever a disc is loaded.
Stepping motor technology (already proven in Philips CD-ROM drives) ensures very fast direct access to the video and audio of your choice. Years of experience in optical drive control are embedded in the Philips High-Density signal processor which optimizes stepping motor control to get the best possible readout of high-density DVD-Video discs.
