DVD Audio Discs
DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success
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 master 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 Player). 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 display.
1 Press OSD during playback on in stop mode.
2 Press

to select Group icon.
3 Press 1/2 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 password.
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 dic-
tated by your DVD Player — it is a function of the disc.
Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of
the on-screen display choices might not be available for
the disc you’re playing.
Viewing another PAGE
Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there
are various ways to see what’s available on the disc.
1 Press OSD during playback.
2 Press
33
/

to select Page icon.
3 Press 1/2 to select a page number.
What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc
because the information available depends upon the way the
disc was created.
