Features
Experience the super high-quality audio perfor-
mance of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
(SACD).
The on-board 24-bit/192kHz DAC means that
this player is fully compatible with high
sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering
exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic
range, low-level resolution and high-frequency
detail.
This player features multichannel analog
outputs for connection to an AV amplifier to
give you stunning surround sound from Dolby
Digital, DTS and multichannel DVD-Audio
discs.
When connected to a progressive scan-
compatible TV or monitor using the
component video outputs, you can enjoy
extremely stable, flicker free images, with the
same frame refresh rate as the original movie.
The new Disc Navigator enables you play the
first few seconds of each title or chapter in a
thumbnail image on screen.
