Description:
Bringing high-resolution audio performance to newly affordable prices, the Philips DVD763SA DVD player features high-end multichannel and stereo SACD playback in addition to accommodating DVD-Video, VCD, and MP3 CD-R and CD-RW. It also converts non-region-encoded PAL-formatted discs (the standard in Europe) for viewing on standard NTSC televisions. Depending on the discs, SACD music releases provide super high-fidelity multichannel and/or stereo sound. Because the SACD signal is too high-resolution for the digital-to-analog converters in current surround receivers (and also as an anti-piracy measure), the DVD763SA performs its own decoding of SACD signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate multichannel SACD releases. Built-in SACD bass management helps tailor the output level of the ".1" LFE (low-frequency effects) channel to a system, as an appropriate level may differ from the output level appropriate for Dolby Digital and DTS surround mixes. A set of stereo and a set of multichannel analog-audio outputs route audio from SACDs as well as from Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded DVDs to a compatible audio/video receiver. If you're not planning to use the SACD capability for multichannel programming, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can also be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for simpler connection to a compatible AV receiver. Parallel video outputs let you route the player's composite-video, S-video, and high-end component-video outputs to three different televisions simultaneously. Other playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick-up where you left off on five most recently viewed DVDs, enhanced parental control (with 120-disc lockout), and picture zoom for magnification of select images.
