DVD-Audio Disks
DVD-Audio is a new disk format based on the
success of the DVD video and also improves
the quality and functionality in the audio fi eld.
Multichannel audio provides a new music listening
experience. The stereo quality surpasses that of
Audio-CDs (192kHz in comparison with 44.1 kHz
for CDs; 24 Bit Sampling Rate instead of 16 Bit for
CDs).
A typical DVD-Audio Disk contains up to seven
times the capacity of an Audio-CD. The additional
space is used either for multichannel recordings or
for longer music recording times. Many DVD-Audio
Disks also contain screen texts such as background
information about the artist, song lyrics, biogra-
phies etc.. Some also contain photo galleries or
video clips.
Since the contents of the DVD-Audio Disks differ,
various menus and functions described below may
not be available.
