CD-Text
CD-Text is a special data code inserted in some
CD releases that enables the DVD 50 to display
the title of each track, the artist’s name and
other data. When a disc with CD-Text informa-
tion is playing, press the

HDCD Playback
HDCD is a process that increases the fidelity of
both specially encoded HDCD discs and stan-
dard CD audio discs. When an HDCD-encoded
disc is playing, the special decoder is automati-
cally activated and the
HDCD Indicator F
lights. No user intervention is required.
To enjoy the benefits of HDCD, your DVD 50
must be connected to your A/V receiver via the
Analog Audio Outputs £. However, if your
A/V receiver or surround processor is equipped
with built-in HDCD decoding, you may also use
a
Coaxial ¶ or Optical • digital audio con-
nection so that the HDCD processing is done
there.
