Audio CD (CDDA)
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
You will recognise CDs by their logo.
You can play them in conventional style
through a stereo system, using the keys
on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the TV
using the On Screen Display (OSD).
Note: Please note that the DTS audio format on the SACD
1000 is only supported on DVD. This product does not
support the playback of DTS encoded CDs.
Digital video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG 2 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.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC
video standard. This dual-standard player can play both
types, and presents them in the best possible way on
your multistandard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video
offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.
