Compatible with a wide range of DVD digital audio output formats

DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output jacks of this player output Dolby Digital*2, DTS*3, MPEG, and linear PCM digital bitstreams.

This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format. This allows playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital and MPEG without the need for a decoder.
