See What You Can Do

DVD, VideoCD (PBC compatible) and CD discs can be played back on PIONEER DVD players

Compatible with a wide range of DVD audio output

DVD discs are recorded in one of the following 4 types of digital audio formats (as of July 1998). The digital audio output jacks of this player output any of the following digital audio signals.

•DOLBY DIGITAL*

Surround system for theaters. By connecting this unit to a Dolby Digital decoder or an AV amplifier with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, DVD discs recorded in Dolby Digital audio can be played back in Dolby Digital surround sound.

•DTS**

Surround standard different from Dolby Digital. This format is already in use in many theaters. By connecting this unit to a DTS decoder or an AV amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder, the DTS audio of DVD discs recorded in this format can be enjoyed. However, audio will not be output from the analog audio output jacks.

•MPEG

By connecting this unit to an MPEG decoder or an AV amplifier with a built-in MPEG decoder, the MPEG audio of DVD discs recorded in this format can be enjoyed.

•Linear PCM

Same digital audio format as on CDs. Digital audio can be enjoyed by connecting this unit to an amplifier with a built-in D/A converter. Additionally, 2 channel analog audio is output from the audio output jacks.

This player has a conversion function for converting Dolby Digital and MPEG audio into the Linear PCM format. This allows playback of CDs with the regular playback system without the need for a special convertor.

3-dimensional audio with 2 front speakers (page 38)

Setting the Virtual Dolby Surround mode to "VDD" or "VDS" creates a 3-dimensional sound without the need for surround speakers.

Frequencies above 20KHz will be reproduced with master like quality as natural wave forms (Legato Link conversion)

Legato Link conversion estimates recording signals according to the original I/f attenuation characteristic in order to reproduce frequency component of signals that are not recorded in the frequency band of the format (above 20kHz). Wave form sound very close to the original is created for audio reproduction.

Operation while viewing menu screens (GUI: Graphical User Interface) (page 30)

DVDs come recorded with their own original menus. These menus are operated with the direction buttons. With the PIONEER player, the player’s menus can be used for operation even with discs that have not been recorded with menus.
