UNIVERSAL PLAYBACK
With the proliferation of different optical disc formats, most people want just one player that will play them all. The T535 is capable of playing most all the popular entertainment oriented optical disc format, including the high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD music formats. MP3 and WMA compressed formats are also decoded, offering surprisingly good sound quality when recorded at higher available bit rates. Your existing CD collection is also in for a major sonic upgrade when played back through the advanced electronics of the T535.

DVD-Video can be watched in normal interlaced mode, or in progressive scan mode, providing your TV monitor supports this type of signal. If you have a high definition (HDTV) monitor equipped with HDMI inputs that support HDCP encryption, you can also take advantage of the Faroudja DCDi chip that will ‘upconvert’ standard DVD (480/576 lines) to the HD formats of 720p, 1080i or 1080p.

DVD-Audio and SACD decoding take place on board with comprehensive bass management available for decoded signals. DVD-Audio uses high resolution 24 bit PCM signals and MLP ‘lossless’ compression to advance audio performance to unprecedented levels. SACD (super audio compact disc) is a different approach to high definition audio using the DSD (direct stream digital) technique to obtain a very realistic sonic presentation. Both techniques have their adherents, but thankfully, with the T535, you don’t have to take sides in the discussion about which format is better – you have both formats covered!
