DVD Players

Can I Listen To DVD Audio Discs on My DVD Player?

There are two new types of disc audio: DVD Audio and Super Audio CD. Both are angling to replace CDs as the audio format of choice.

DVD Audio discs offer 6-channel or stereo sound that is much higher in quality than current CDs, and allows you to enjoy many things that traditional CD doesn't offer: up to six channels of audio, and additional features such as lyrics, picture galleries, animation, audio commentary - even full-motion video.

Super Audio CD, despite its name, is actually a DVD format. Like DVD Audio discs, the sound quality will be much higher than current CDs. Some Super Audio CDs can be played on traditional CD players - but only in two-channel sound. Super Audio CDs can not be played on DVD or DVD Audio players. Super Audio Players will be able to play Super Audio CDs in full, six-channel sound.
