DVD Audio Discs
DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the suc-
cess of DVD to provide 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 mas-
ter 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.
Note:
To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect
of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio
output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/CD
receiver). 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.
Moving to another GROUP
Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different
groups. Your player enables you to quickly access dif-
ferent groups during playback via the on-screen dis-
play.

or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select
a group number.
Note:
Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden con-
tent that can only be accessed by entering a pass-
word. If the lock icon appears on the TV screen, enter
the password (sometimes you’ll find it on the disc’s
jacket cover or on a web site). This password control
isn’t dictated by your DVD/CD receiver — it is a func-
tion of the disc.
Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some
of the on-screen display choices might not be avail-
able for the disc you’re playing.
