MVP861
Audio Video Player

“ equally at home in home theater

and audiophile stereo systems”

The MVP861 plays them all: CD’s, SACD’s, DVD’s, DVD-Audio, CD-R,
and CD-RW discs. Three 192kHz/24 bit Digital-to-Analog converters
deliver the highest resolution sound these formats can deliver.

The video side incorporates 12bit/108mHz DACs with progressive
scan for the sharpest picture. Component, S-video and composite
outputs are included.

Sporting a new and innovative transport mechanism, the MVP861
spins CDs at 4 times the usual speed and DVDs at 2 times the usual
speed storing data into an 8MB buffer memory. This allows the
MVP861’s laser multiple passes to extract all the data from discs
including scratched or smudged discs. With this extraordinary level
of tracking ability and error correction, the MVP861 breathes new life
into many previously unplayable discs.

SACD’S QUALITY DELIVERED

Special attention has been

paid to the final audio stages,

where much of the potential

of SACD discs can be lost.

BALANCED D/A CONVERTERS

Increased linearity in the

conversion process makes

for the lowest noise and

distortion, especially when

playing the new high-

resolution formats.

LINEAR POWER SUPPLY

A super-low-stray-field

power transformer feeds

multiple layers of regulation

for better audio and video.

LOW IMPEDANCE OUTPUT

Prevents noise pickup

over cable runs, whether

using the balanced or

unbalanced outputs.

SYSTEM CONTROL

The RS232 data jack

allows the MVP861 to

seamlessly integrate into

the most sophisticated

control systems.
