Superlative audio performance
from built in DVD-Audio, Dolby
Digital*, DTS** and MPEG decoders
The 192kHz/24bit-compatible DAC inside the DV-S88A/
DV-S838A delivers breath-taking sound quality with DVD-
Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs.
The DV-S88A/DV-S838A is compatible with both 2-
channel (192kHz/24bit) and multi-channel (96kHz/24bit)
DVD-Audio discs thanks to its 5.1-channel audio outputs.
In addition, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoders are
built-in so you can connect the DV-S88A/DV-S838A
directly to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs to
enjoy cinema-like surround sound.
525 line digital progressive-scan
component video output (NTSC)
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan
effectively doubles the amount of video information fed
to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free
image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this
feature.)
For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie
on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.
The DV-S88A/DV-S838A offers complete flexibility and
compatibility with all types of AV equipment with
composite video and S-Video outputs, as well as
component video outs.
Digital Noise Reduction PRO
(Video Quality Enhancer)
This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for
encoding video (called VQE or Video Quality Enhancer)
enables you to adjust the video settings on a more
detailed and exact level. There are three possible
settings to choose from. These include:
TV (CRT) ,
Projector , and Professional . This technology can
remember which setting you’ve chosen and employ it at
the proper time.
Frame Search
The NTSC system displays pictures at 30 frames/
second; PAL* at 25 frames/second. With this DVD player
you can locate and display a specific frame from
anywhere on the disc.
* Playback of PAL discs is not possible on the DV-S88A.
Easy setup and adjustment using
on-screen menus
Press SETUP on the remote control to open the Setup
screen and you’ll find setting up and adjusting the
system easy to do with on-screen menus conveniently
organized and arranged. Additionally, on-screen
information (

) appears to clarify the functions and
explain the options available.
