It is designed to connect directly to a pair of analogue active
speakers, or power amplifiers and passive speakers (Type 0, see
page 12), or a pair of DSP speakers (Type 1, see page 11), to
create a complete two-channel AV system.
In addition the G91 provides a multichannel digital output to allow
connection to a surround controller with multichannel digital inputs
(Type 3/4/5, see page 13). Alternatively the multichannel digital

DVD-ROM drive
At the heart of the G Series DVD players is a high-speed computer-

keep pace with new requirements.

In addition to regular CDs (including MP3 CD-ROMS) and DVDs,
the players can also play most hybrid varieties. The players can
handle both DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs, decoding Dolby
Digital, DTS or MLP data streams and extracting or downmixing
them to stereo if required.
The drive normally operates at standard speed; however it is
capable of recovering data a great deal faster when required,
enabling it to make more attempts to recover accurate data from
