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 192kHz (compared to
44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be deliv-
ered 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
DVD-V
DVD-A
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.
ote
To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of
DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio out-
put (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/CD receiver).
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 DISP. during playback on in stop mode.
DVD-V
2. Press 3 3 /4 4 to select Group icon.
3. Press 1/2 or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a
group number.
Note:
VCD2.0
VCD1.1
Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden
content that can only be accessed by entering a pass-
word. 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/CD receiver — 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 DISP. during playback.
2. Press 3 3 /4 4 to select Page icon.
3. Press 1/2 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.
Note:
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.
