Introduction

Entertainment for the new millennium

Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect

digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital, multi-channel

audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle;

sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles (if

available on disc).Whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or

regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.

Digital video

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology

to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD's variable bitrate

compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most

complex pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500

lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is

more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely

comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard.

This player can play both PAL and NTSC discs, presenting them in the ,

best possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.

As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal

pictures on any TV screen.

1. A standard DVD disc is recorded with multi_channel audio tracks, and these audio channels cooperate reproducing the sound environment which is so called HOME CINEMA. The center speaker is used to output dialogs in a movie. So if the item CENTER TYPE is closed, you won’t hear the conversation of a movie.

2. Sound which comes from rear place is not as sensitive as it comes from front, so it is enough to use small speaker for surround type.

3. People can’t distinguish the direction of low frequency sound, so you can furnish the subwoofer in any place in the room.
