The Philips DVD Player features discrete dual laser pickup to provide the best possible picture and sound with both DVD and CD formatted discs. One is optimized for DVD playback while the other is dedicated to CD playback. Laser life is also maximized in this configuration. And the DVD950AT provides the ability to upgrade features via a special DVD upgrade disc. Backgrounds, search speeds and modes, audio processing, display parameters, interactivity, titles, CD text, languages, screen savers and video processing may be upgraded. Plus there's a parental control system that, when activated, permits play only of authorized discs unless a special PIN code is entered. The player will remember up to 80 disc authorizations, allowing unrestricted playback of these discs. A built-in Dolby digital decoder with six-channel analog output supplies the 5.1 channel outputs that can be connected directly to five amplifiers and a powered subwoofer or a Dolby Digital-ready receiver. A YUV three-jack output connection provides maximum signal quality and enhanced color accuracy. Its 10-bit video and 24-bit audio DAC provide the highest quality video and audio. Other features include DTS sound compatibility and virtual 3-D surround.
