· VBR files may not show play times correctly.
· This player only plays tracks that are named with the

· This player is not compatible with multi-session

the first session will be played.
· Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3
files. The disc must be finalized in order to play.

disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
condensation on the player's lens.
· If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
· Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs can be played, but not
all time information (playing time, etc.) will be
displayed.

525 line digital progressive-scan
component video output
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan
effectively doubles the amount of video information fed
to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free
image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this
feature.)
For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie
on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.
The DV-444 offers complete flexibility and compatibility
with all types of AV equipment with composite video and
S-Video outputs, as well as component video outs.
Compatible with a wide range of
DVD digital audio output formats
DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio
formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output
jacks of this player output Dolby*2 Digital, DTS*3,
MPEG, and linear PCM digital bitstreams.
This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format.
This allows playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital
and MPEG without the need for a decoder.
TruSurround
TruSurround*4 uses technology that simulates
multichannel surround sound using only two speakers.
TruSurround works in conjunction with 2 channel audio
sources to create a realistic surround sound.
MP3 compatibility
This player is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW and CD-
ROM discs that contain MP3 audio tracks.
Video adjust function
When set to standard interlaced video, you can adjust
various picture quality settings, including [Fine Focus],
[Contrast], [Sharpness], [Chroma level] and [Hue].
When using the component video ouptut and set to
progressive scan video, you can adjust [DNR],
[Sharpness], [Detail], [Chroma delay] and [Gamma]
You can memorize up to three sets of picture quality
settings (pages 32-34).
24-bit/192kHz compatible DAC delivers
higher-than-CD quality audio.
The DAC used to convert digital audio to analog in this
player is fully 24-bit/192kHz compatible.
