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.
Introduction
Your Philips DVD-Video player will play digital video discs
conforming to the universal DVD-Video standard. With it, you will
