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.
• Advanced Dolby Digital/dts (digital theater systems) 5.1ch
surround decoder (See pages 11 and 62.)
The advanced Dolby Digital /dts 5.1ch surround decoder
incorporated in this player comes with speaker mode settings
which support the low-range reproduction capability of the
speakers, speaker level settings, delay time adjustment*, audio
dynamic range suppression, and other features.
 * Delay time adjustment is effective only for Dolby Digital DVDs
(center and surround channels).
• Dolby Digital/dts (digital theater systems) digital output
(See page 11.)
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.
Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (VSS) function
(See page 28-29.)
Even when two front speakers are being used, simply press the
VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) button during playback of a Dolby
Digital DVD (2 channel or over) to provide a rear surround effect.
This effect also works while listening with headphones. (This
does not work with Karaoke DVDs. The effect depends on the
kind of DVD used.)
Marker function (See page 51.)
This player can store a maximum of 5 positions in memory for
convenient access.
Dialogue Enhancer (See pages 43 and 49.)
During playback of Dolby Digital/dts DVDs (2 channel or over)
with the dialogue contained in the center channel, this function
will boost the sound level of the center channel so that it is easier
to hear the dialogue on movie software.
Graphical User Interface (GUl) screen (See page 46.)
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 joystick on 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 page 54.)
The audio soundtrack can be heard in up to 8 languages.
(The number of languages depends on the software.)
• Multi-subtitle function (See page 55.)
Subtitles may be displayed in one of 32 languages.
(The number of languages depends on the software.)
• Multi-angle function (See page 55.)
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 57.)
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.)

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 systems (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/coaxial 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”, “3 DTS
Digital Surround” (see page 61), 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.

Enjoying digital audio output from the
digital audio output connector
Note when connecting the optical digital audio cable
• Remove the dust protection cap from the optical digital audio
output connector and connect the cable firmly so that the
configurations of both the cable and the connector match.
• Keep the dust protection cap and reattach when not using the
connector.
