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.

Introduction

Your MARANTZ DVD-Video player will play digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD-Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, as well as stereo or multi-channel sound (depending on the disc and your playback setup). The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of sound track, subtitle languages and different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included. What's more, MARANTZ Child Lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see. In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will be able to play all Video CDs and Audio CDs (including finalized CD Recordable and CD Rewritable).

You will find the On-Screen Display, player display, and remote control make the player easy to use. This manual provides all the information you will need, so read on!

DVD-Video

You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo shown on the left. Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more Titles. Each Title may have one or more Chapters. To make playback easy and convenient, your player lets you select Titles and playback Chapters.

Video CD

You will recognize Video CDs by the logo shown at the left. Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more tracks. Tracks may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case. To make playback easy and convenient, your player lets you select tracks and indexes.
