Introduction

Digital video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to
register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD's variable bitrate
compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most
complex pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500
lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is more
than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with
digital masters made in recording studios.
Your portable DVD player
Your portable DVD player plays digital video discs conforming to the
universal DVD Video standard.With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length
movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multichannel sound
(depending on the disc and on your playback set-up).
The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of soundtrack and
subtitle languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the
disc), are all included.
What's more, parental lock lets you decide which discs your children will be
able to see.You will find your player remarkably easy to use with the On-
Screen Display and player display in combination with the remote control.
