Compatible with a wide range of 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 can output Dolby Digital*
MPEG, and linear PCM digital bitstreams to AV
components with built in decoding capabilities.
This player also has a function that converts Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format.
This allows stereo playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby
Digital and MPEG without the need for a special
decoder.
Equipped with six channel discrete audio
output and an internal Dolby Digital and DTS
decoder
Enjoy the cinematic surround sound produced by Dolby
Digital and DTS audio soundtracks without the need for
an external decoder. This player features six channel
discrete audio output jacks so you can connect this
player directly to an amplifier or receiver with 6 channel
discrete input, and utilize the player's built-in Dolby
Digital and DTS decoding capabilities.
Multiple video output formats that can be
selected to best suit your TV or monitor
This player features two composite, two S-video jacks,
and two AV CONNECTOR terminals. RGB signal output
is possible from one of the AV CONNECTOR terminals.
TruSurround and Virtual Dolby Digital
TruSurround* 4 uses technology that simulates
multichannel surround sound using only two speakers.
Virtual Dolby Digital works in conjunction with Dolby
Digital audio sources to create a realistic surround
sound. Virtual Dolby Digital is selected automatically
when Dolby Digital sources are loaded.
Frame advance playback in foward and reverse
direction
This player incorporates technology that enables frame
advance playback of DVDs. In the foward direction, the
playback speed can be adjusted four steps. In the
reverse direction, the playback speed can be adjusted
two steps.
