Features
DVD Video Player
DVD video, Video CD, and Music CD Playback
MP3 Playback from CD-R/RW discs
Support for 5.1 channel surround
systems (Dolby Digital and dts)
This player is equipped with Dolby Digital and dts
decoders, so by simply adding 6 speakers (2
channels in front on the right and left, 1 center
channel, 2 channels in the rear on the right and left,
and a 0.1 sub-woofer channel) and a monitor to the
system, playback in 5.1 channel surround sound
with an ultra realistic feel is possible.
※The center speaker and sub-woofer require a
separate external amplifier.
Built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II can decode and playback in 5.1 channel sound DVD videos recorded with
the sound on 2 channels, music CDs, MP3 files, radio or virtually any stereo source.
This player allows you to select from the 3 modes of MOVIE, MUSIC or MATRIX.
In addition, in MUSIC mode, you can adjust the 3 parameters of PANORAMA, DIMENSION
and CENTER WIDTH. (page 44)
