High picture quality
• 10 bit video D/A converter
Reproduces fine images faithfully.
• An array of picture quality modes yielded by digital processing
Signal deterioration is kept to minimum by processing the data digitally.
This feature can be used to tailor picture quality for DVD playback.
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.
• Dolby Digital/dts (digital theater systems) digital output (See pages 49, 51.)
By connecting a Dolby Digital/dts decoder or an amplifier incorporating a Dolby Digital/dts decoder, you can enjoy high quality digital
surround sound from Dolby Digital/dts discs.
Graphical User Interface (GUl) screen (See pages 49 to 51.)
By simply pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control, information on the DVD/Video CD/CD player and disc can be displayed
on the TV screen for easy identification. The player’s operations and settings can be easily accessed by operating the remote control
while monitoring the TV screen. The color and position of the GUl screen can be changed.
Versatile DVD features
• Multi-audio function (See pages 46, 49, 53.)
The audio soundtrack can be heard in up to 8 languages. (The number of languages depends on the software.)
• Multi-subtitle function (See pages 47, 49, 53.)
Subtitles may be displayed in one of 32 languages. (The number of languages depends on the software.)
• Multi-angle function (See pages 47, 49.)
This function allows you to choose the camera angle of scenes shot from different angles. (Limited to DVDs recorded with multiple
camera angles.)
• Parental lock function (See page 54.)
This function can prevent playback of DVD software which may be unsuitable for some audiences (especially for children). (Limited to
DVDs encoded with specific rating level.)

1 The type of audio output from the connector can be selected by “Digital Audio  Output” of the initial settings. (See page 56.)
*2 Compressed sound converted to PCM will be output.
*3 The settings and connections necessary to enjoy CDs recorded in dts are the same as for DVDs recorded in dts.
Note:
• Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts interface may not work properly with the DVD/Video CD/CD player.
For your reference:
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-channel surround
sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
• The digital theater system (dts) is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theatres around the world. It
allows the bit rate to be increased in order to provide good sound quality without excessively compressing the data.
• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit
up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide
full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
• The digital audio output connector (optical) converts electrical signals into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These
optical signals are immune from electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on other equipment.
Caution for the optional digital audio output connector:
• Do not connect to the digital audio input of an amplifier that does not have Dolby Digital/dts/MPEG audio decoder.
• If such an amplifier should be connected to the player with “Bitstream” selected at the “2 Dolby digital”, any attempt to play DVDs
(or CDs recorded in dts) may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• Video CDs and CDs can be played as they would normally be played.
