About Audio DVDs
Audio DVD is a new digital recording format for audio discs. This format is based on the
success of Video DVDs containing 5.1 multichannel sound.
Audio DVD therefore gives you new sound sensations by spreading the sound over 6
loudspeakers (6 x 96 KHz/24 bits analogue channels). If possible, therefore, you should
connect the player to a 5.1 amplifier using the 6 channels (marked (
5
) on page 6) as this gives
the best 5.1 sound quality. Connecting the player in this way is also recommended for Video
DVDs.
The digital connections (marked
1
on page 6) should only be used with an amplifier that has
no 5.1 analogue input connections. The audio
(1)
sound quality is not as good as through the
5.1 connections.
Many Audio DVDs contain video, in the form of information (bibliographies, titles list, etc.),
video clips, photos, etc.
Important: Unlike Video DVDs, Audio DVDs do not have a Region code. You can therefore buy Audio DVDs
anywhere in the world.
To play an Audio DVD on 2 loudspeakers in very high quality stereo, if the Audio DVD provides a 192 KHz/24
bits signal you should use the 2 stereo channels, L and R (marked (
8
) on page 6).

contain large amounts of varied information. The way in which this
information is presented varies from one disc to another. With some Audio DVDs, you can
display the images contained on the disc, one at a time, using the info banner’s Browser
(Browse) icon.
While a disc is playing, press the remote control’s
info
key and use the navigation keys to
select the browser icon (Browse) and then display the different headings contained on the
disc.
Hidden information is sometimes contained on a
disc. To see this information, you must first enter
a password, which is generally shown on the
disc’s cover or on the disc itself. This password
is only linked to the disc; it is unrelated to your
player. The disc’s password can sometimes be
found on the publisher’s Web site.
In accordance with the DVD standard and the
protection of copyright, the quality of the Audio
signals available through the digital output
connections (marked (1) on page 6) is limited, to
match that of Audio CDs (48 KHz/16 bits).
What is contained on Audio DVDs depends on
their publishers. The icons displayed in the
functions banner may therefore vary.
