HD DVD Playback
High Definition video requires a tremendous amount of space on a disc, thus a Blue laser (versus a Red Laser for DVD) is utilized for HD DVD. The blue laser, with its shorter wave length, allows for information to be stored more densely on the disc, thus improving storage capacity by about over 3 times compared to that of a red laser technology.
Higher Compression Standards
Additionally, more accurate and efficient video compression, such as MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 (based on Microsoft's Windows Media), compress information to achieve file sizes that are less than half of those of the current standard DVD's MPEG2.
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
The HD-A20 features an HDMI output, capable of upconverting video signals to 720p, and 1080i/1080p. This technology enables the HD-A20 to carry the HD audio and video information through a single cable and achieving the highest quality picture and clearest sound available.
Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders
The HD-A20 has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS and DTS-HD. It employs the use of four DSPs to decode the multi-channel streams of the wide array of audio formats.
Multi-Format Player
Don't worry about limited playback capabilities, the HD-A20 can play DVD Video, DVD-R/W, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD-VR, HD-DVD Video, CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
Backward Compatibility
The HD-A20 is backward-compatible, enabling playback of all your favorite DVDs and CDs in HD resolution.
