DVD AUDIO DISCS
DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to
provide high quality, uncompressed, multi-channel audio for a new
experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the
DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.
DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than Audio CDs with a
sampling rate of up to 192 kHz (compared to 44.1 kHz for CDs). DVD
Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data
(compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).
A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity
of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced
Resolution multi- channel sound quality that is closer to the artist’s
master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs
contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics.
Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.
NOTE
To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio,
you must use 5.1 channel analogue audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT
jacks on the DVD Player). If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar
to CD-quality sound even though you’re playing a DVD Audio disc.
MOVING TO ANOTHER GROUP
Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player
enables you to quickly access different groups during playback via the
on-screen display.
1
Press DISPLAY during playback on in stop mode.
2
Press
to select Group icon.
3
Press
or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a group number.
NOTE
Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden content that can
only be accessed by entering a password. If the lock icon appears on
the TV screen, enter the password (sometimes you’ll find it on the
disc’s jacket cover or on a web site). This password control isn’t
dictated by your DVD Player — it is a function of the disc.
Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen
display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.
VIEWING ANOTHER PAGE
Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there are various ways
to see what’s available on the disc.
1
Press DISPLAY during playback.
2
Press
to select Page icon.
3
Press
to select a page number.
What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc because the
information available depends upon the way the disc was created.
