Special attention has been paid to sound quality both for DVD-Audio and CD replay via the analogue outputs – an area where nearly all DVD players fall short of audiophiles’ expectations. On music the DV79 will not disappoint. The player has 5.1 channel decoders for Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, as well as Dolby Pro Logic II decoding for 2-channel music and movie sources. It includes a unique audio delay manager (variable from 0 to 150ms) to compensate for the video processing delays inherent in modern digital displays.
