Period

THIS PLAYER NEVER USED. THIS TYPE USED C. 1999+

Canada

AN EXAMPLE OF NEW CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE IN CANADA FOR VIEWING AND LISTENING TO PRE-RECORDED VIDEO AND AUDIO PROGRAMMING.

Function

TO PLAY BACK VIDEO AND AUDIO INFORMATION DIGITALLY STORED ON A DVD-STANDARD DISC.

Technical

The DVD format was developed as a collaborative project by consumer electronics manufacturers, multinational entertainment companies, and the computer industry. The first DVD players were available in the USA in Spring, 1997 and in Canada c. 1998. Their notable features include: a high quality digital video signal (MPEG2 at about 5 Mb/s); multi-channel audio output for surround sound reproduction (Dolby Digital or DTS); multiple language versions and subtitle choices; and a variety of interactive features like search, slow motion, freeze frame, and zoom, all accessible from on-screen menus. Due to the use of digital encoding and data compression, DVD players provide higher picture resolution and superior sound reproduction to that available from VHS or Beta analogue videotape formats. This model is a typical moderately-priced DVD player. Its most notably distinctive feature is its ability to play back two popular writable CD formats: CD-R and CD-RW, in addition to commercially recorded CDs and DVDs. It does record or play any of the various recordable DVD disk formats that might soon be commercially available. [from worksheet by B. Dewalt, in Supp. Info.]
