It actually goes a lot further by upscaling video sources to 1080p, for a one-cable HDMI digital connection to a high-definition display. Furthermore, its front-panel USB interface allows easy transfer of your digital music files for playback via your entertainment system. Youíll also find quality components throughout, such as a 192 kHz/24-bit audio DAC and a 108 MHz/14-bit video DAC to promote overall playback quality; an intuitive Disc Navigator system that simplifies control over disc media; and a remote control that can be used with an integrated system.

Dolby Digital.

This premiere surround sound format delivers realistic digital audio via 5.1 discrete channels. The three front channels (Left/Center/Right) deliver crisp, clean dialogue and accurate placement of on-screen sounds, while twin surround channels (Left Surround/Right Surround) wrap around the audience and immerse them in the action. The LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel delivers real impact for explosions and other effects that can, literally, be felt as well as heard.

HDMIô (High-Definition Multimedia Interface).

The latest in digital interface technology is here and it goes by the name of HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). This high-bandwidth interface supports not only remarkable amounts of uncompressed digital video but audio as well. Up to 5 Gbps of data, more than twice whatís needed for a high-definition movie with surround sound, can be handled with room for future requirements.

All this data is kept in the digital domain as there are no D/A or A/D conversions needed to ensure the highest sound and video quality available. Unparalleled amounts of compressed or uncompressed digital audio and videoóup to 5 Gbps of dataócan be handled with just one high-speed cable.

DVD Video.

DVD is an optical disc technology that utilizes the MPEG-2 file and compression standard designed to bring high quality video to your home in the form of movies, concerts, etc.

MP3.

MP3s are digital audio files that have been compressed, yet which still maintain the sound quality of the original. Before there were MP3s, digital audio files took hours to download. But on a 56K modem, most MP3s can download in just a few minutes. MP3s are widely recognized as the most popular format for storing and listening to music on the World Wide Web. Listening to MP3s is easy. You just need to download a player, a software application that lets you hear music on your computer. MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MPEG refers to the Moving Pictures Experts Group, an organization that sets international standards for digital formats for audio and video. The file-shrinking technology itself was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany.

Windows Media Audio (WMA).

Windows Media Audio (WMA) has been around for a couple of years, and its integration into the new Windows XP operating system is really increasing its popularity. Compared to MP3, it compresses songs into about half the file size, so you can burn about twice as many songs -around 20 hoursí worth - onto one CD. Despite the higher compression, the sound quality is a bit better vs. MP3. Also, transferability of files from computer to computer is easier.

DivXÆ.

DivXÆ is videoís equivalent of MP3 - a video compression technology (codec) that compresses video down to a size where it is able to sent via the internet without any significant deterioration in quality. It has the ability to compress the contents of a DVD to only 10% of its size, which is then possible to store on a standard CD. DivXÆ certified products, like a DVD player, enable the big-screen playback of contents created, manipulated and downloaded on computers.

JPEG Picture CD Capability.

Insert a disc containing picture files into a compatible Onkyo DVD player and relive the memories of your last vacation, birthday or any time immortalized on digital film. These players are compatible with FUJICOLORÆ CDs, KodakÆ Picture CDs, and CD-R/RWs encoded with JPEG picture files, so you can bring those timeless moments to life on your viewing screen. Viewing these pictures is simple with the menu mode, which lists the pictures on the disc for fast and easy selection.

96 kHz/24-Bit D/A Audio Converter.

The high-resolution digital-recording specification 96 kHz(96,000 samples per second) and 24 bits (an additional eight bits for representing analog voltage values over the 16-bit compact disc) give you exceptional separation, clarity, and resolution from the latest high-resolution digital audio sources.

Progressive Scan.

Most DVDs are ìprogressiveîómeaning they produce video in complete frames. But to be compatible with all TVs, the DVD signal must be interlaced ñ a method where the picture is split into two fields and then blurred together to look like one. Progressive scan, however, retrieves the original progressive signal, and on such compatible displays as HDTV, digital TV and high-end projectors, "paintsî all the visible lines on the screen in a single pass - so youíll enjoy a scan-line-free image, with spectacularly clear colour, no motion artifacts, and details so sharp they seem as if theyíre etched onto the screen.
