Introduction
Entertainment for the new millennium
Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect digital, stu-
dio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital, multi-channel audio; story sequences
screened from your choice of camera angle; sound tracks in as many as eight
languages; and up to 32 subtitles (if available on disc).Whether you watch DVD-
Video on wide-screen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to
be.
Digital video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to reg-
ister 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.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard.
This player can play both PAL and NTSC discs, presenting them in the best
possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures
on any TV screen.
