New formats are fine, but what about your
collection? Relax. You’ve found the multi-skilled
player that pays attention to your every need.
With the DV-747 , you can access virtually every
12 cm optical disc on the market – and expand
your realm of entertainment possibilities. Move
up to the fabulous sound purity of DVD- udio,
even S CD, and the excitement of home cinema
with DVD-Video discs. How about the others? No
problem to play DVD-RW and DVD-R discs,
recorded in either “Video” or “DVD Video
Recording” mode. Not to mention CD, Video CD,
CD-R and CD-RW discs, even MP3 files recorded
on CD-R and CD-RW. So rejoice. You won’t miss a
trick with the virtuoso DV-747 . It’s the most
format-friendly player around.
Wherever you look, you find meticulous Pioneer
touches that add to superior performance and
amplify your pleasure. Consider these design
advantages. For superb sound clarity, the
chassis is double-layered, giving it strength and
stability to suppress resonance and vibrations.
To shut out mechanical noise and ensure stable
disc readout, the coustic Damper Tray is
cushioned and insulated from the loading door.
nd so you can bask in greater audio and video
purity – that means a higher signal-to-noise ratio
and without interference – the audio and video
circuit boards are kept separate and distinct
from each other. Inside and out, it’s obvious: the
more you demand of a DVD player, the more
you’ll be impressed by the DV-747 .
Even the design works for you.
*Note: CD-R and CD-RW discs may be read on the condition that they comply
to the applicable Orange Book standards, and have been recorded with data
that adhere to the applicable Red Book (CD-DA) or White Book (Video CD;
