What is Super VCD? (DV-533 and DV-533K only)

This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD standard. Compared to the Video CD standard, Super VCD offers superior picture quality, and allows two stereo soundtracks to be recorded. Super VCD also supports the widescreen size.

Compatible with a wide range of DVD digital audio output formats

1

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*2 Digital, 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.
