DVD Audio Discs
DVD Audio is a new disc format providing 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 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.
Groups (DVD Audio discs only)
Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player
enables you to quickly access different groups during playback via the Info
Display.
While the disc is playing press INFO on the remote and use the left or right
arrow buttons to highlight the icon. Use the up or down arrow buttons to
scroll through the groups available.
Notes:
Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the Info Display choices
might not be available for the disc you're playing.
Important: To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio,
you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output (5.1 CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the
back of 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.
