times per second. Progressive Scan DVD players scan from top to
bottom in one fluid pass, painting 50/60 whole frames per second. This
makes it harder to discern a picture's individual scan lines, which
dramatically increases resolution while minimising distortion and
flickering. This allows for a stunningly realistic picture on a suitably
equipped monitor.
Sonically, the 70 series player adds DVD-Audio playback for the best
possible musical performance in both multi-channel surround and high
quality stereo. Cambridge Audio has also worked hard to ensure that CD
replay is excellent.
To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage
you to use only high quality viewing equipment, amplification and
capable loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from
the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same
exacting standards as our DVD players.
Cabling is also an area that should not be overlooked. Please do not
compromise your system's performance by using poor quality cables to
connect your DVD to your television and amplifier or the amplifiers'
output to your loudspeakers. A system is only as good as its weakest
link. Your dealer can supply quality Cambridge Audio interconnects that
will ensure your whole system realises its full potential.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!

A bbrief iintroduction tto DDVD aand DDVD Audio
DVD is well known for its extraordinarily large capacity and outstanding
audio-video effects. Its capacity is as high as 4.7-17 GB (approximately
7-26 times the capacity of CD). With 500-line horizontal resolution of
pictures and Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel surround sound, it brings a new
era to audio visual entertainment .
Using MLP Lossless from Dolby Laboratories, DVD-Audio discs can store
up to six channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio, including a separate low-
frequency bass channel. Compare that to two channels of 16-bit/44.1
kHz sound from CDs! For audiophiles, a DVD-Audio disc can alternatively
hold two channels of 24-bit/192 kHz audio, exceeding the quality of any
music audio format previously developed.
About tthe 770 SSeries
The 70 Series DVD player encompasses the most sophisticated picture
reproduction, including the ability to reproduce a progressive scan
image in both PAL and NTSC. Progressive scan (DVD77 only) offers a
considerable leap in picture quality from the already impressive
standards set by conventional DVD-Video. The usual way of creating a
picture process draws screen lines twice per frame: once for the even-
numbered lines and once for the odd-numbered lines, interlacing 25/30
