Panasonic DVD A10

Panasonic DVD A10 ... spectacular 2-channel audio, high-fidelity multi-channel surround sound and built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, the versatile DVD-A10 helps you enjoy all the benefits of this new format.

Panasonic DVD-Audio home player offers impressive 2-channel stereo sound, thanks to a combination of higher sampling frequencies (192kHz) and greater bit depth (24-bit) than the 44.1kHz/16-bit audio CD format. Panasonic multibit digital to audio conversion system, or DAC, is the key to the precise retrieval of such fine audio details. The DAC helps achieve realistic reproduction of both instrumental timbre and acoustic space.

The DVD-A10 can also bring the same kind of spectacular surround sound that many people already enjoy from their home theater systems to home audio reproduction. The sampling technology of DVD-Audio is linear PCM (uncompressed data, as with audio CDs), and provides up to 96kHz sampling for extremely high quality surround sound. This multi-channel capability provides extremely realistic, ambient audio reproduction. It also opens up countless new creative possibilities for composers, performers and producers, who can be certain that their original artistic vision will be faithfully represented. The DVD-A10 has built-in decoders for both the Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound formats, eliminating the need for an external decoder. When you play DVD-Audio and DVD-Video discs encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks, the decoder processes all six channels of audio information (left, right, center, left-surround, right-surround and low-frequency effects). This information is output to an AV receiver with 6-channel discrete inputs. Add surround sound speakers, and you'll find yourself enveloped in the thrilling sound of a movie theater right in your own home. This DVD-Audio home player is truly versatile - it not only plays DVD-Audio discs, but a wide variety of other digital formats as well. Enjoy DVD-Video movies, your entire collection of audio CDs, even video CDs (a popular format for educational and business applications). The DVD-A10 is the only player you need to enjoy all current formats of thrilling home audio. Silence technology helps weed out noise and distortion, leaving you with pure music and sound reproduction. It's a specific engineering solution applied in the areas of circuit design, electronic devices, and structural configuration that allows you to hear the powerful dynamics and subtle nuances of all of your favorite recordings.
