The latest in multimedia digital
technology, DVD, guarantees
second-to-none picture quality
and sound. The digital picture is
twice as sharp as standard VHS videotape. Home
cinema ready, DVD enables surround sound as
impressive as in the cinema, right in your home.
The media itself is more durable than VHS tape
and doesn’t need to be rewound. Plus DVD is
packed with useful features – multiple language
and soundtracks and subtitles, support for
various audio encoding technologies such as DTS
and Dolby Digital, multiple camera angle viewing
selection, parental blocking, return-to-pause and
view-per-chapter and support for both virtual or
digital surround sound. With all of this, DVD is
clearly the future.
A new arrival on the multi-channel,
multimedia audio format scene,
DTS 5.1 channel playback encoding
technology is rapidly gaining
popularity thanks to its dynamic sound impact
that flies at the listener from left, right and centre
surround sound speakers. Open up the doors of
digital home cinema and super surround sound
with any Pioneer DVD player and A/V
amplifier/receiver* because they can handle DTS
encoded discs.
*Except VSX-409RDS
The current surround sound
quality encoding standard,
Dolby Digital means movie
theatre sound performance for
your home cinema. Its 5.1 channel audio sound
compression technology wraps you in sound. The
front left and right, centre, rear left and right
speakers span frequencies from 20Hz – 20kHz
and there is a dedicated low frequency channel
for extra sound clarity. Extra features mean not
only stunning soundtracks but also additional
language tracks on one disc. And Dolby Digital
has gone a step further with THX Surround EX, a
co-development between Dolby Digital and THX,
which adds another audio channel to the
soundtrack behind the listener, meaning more
depth and localisation for even more sound
perfection.
