Dual-Focus Hologram Laser Lens
The MVP831 incorporates a dual-focus hologram lens that
splits the beam of the already super-fine laser so it can read
two disc layers simultaneously. This unique design elimi-
nates the need for two separate laser systems and ensures
full compatibility with your existing CD library. The
unique MVP831 Red Laser has a thinner beam with a
shorter wavelength to more accurately read the densely-
packed 4.7 gigabytes of information on a single layer of a
DVD disc.
·
Advanced Transport
The MVP831 transport has side suspension dampers for
improved trackability and lower bit error rate. Also in-
cluded is a new hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor.
These mechanical innovations ensure greater stability for
playback even with high sound pressure levels in the home
theater room.
·
Advanced Video DAC
An advanced technology 10-Bit DAC (Digital Analog Con-
verter) performs video signal processing at a faster rate
than ever for enhanced DVD picture quality. A DVD can
generate pictures in amazing detail, thanks to 500 lines of
horizontal resolution capability, which is more than twice
that of VHS video tapes.

96kHz 24 BIT Burr Brown Audio DAC
The MVP831 built-in Burr Brown 96kHz 24 Bit Digital to
Analog Converter ensures future compatibility with the
higher rate audio formats.
