Philips DVD170AT Manuals

Dear Customer, Some music labels have recently introduced the DualDisc for pre-recorded audio and video content. The DualDisc bonds DVD content on one side ‘back- to-back’ with digital audio content on the other side. However, the digital audio side does not meet the technical specifications specified in the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard. For this reason, DualDisc is not permitted to carry the CD logo. Philips DVD and CD players and disc drives fully comply with the CD specifications and therefore may not recognize the DualDisc. Attempting to use DualDisc may lead to playback problems or jamming in the slot loader or drive. The DVD video content on the DVD side of the DualDisc should play on Philips DVD players and DVD drives. However, Philips DVD players and drives do not support DVD Audio, and will not play any DVD Audio content present on the DVD side of a DualDisc. Philips will further investigate DualDisc and update this notice accordingly.

Additional control devices like for example touch screens or wired controls can easily be connected. Next to that the Professional player is featured with NVRAM memory to store and retrieve results or settings. This player is the ideal medium for kiosk, training or business presentation applications. Video was never like this before! Perfect digital, studio-quali- ty pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multichannel audio. Story sequences viewed on screen from your own choice of camera angle. Language barriers are broken down by sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus subtitling - if available on disc - in as many as 32. And whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be seen. 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 bit-rate 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 to the digital masters made in recording studios. DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard. This dual-standard player can play both types and present them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen. As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimum viewing on any TV screen.
