Sound so pure it spoils you.

Youll believe it when you see it.

Youve never heard audio of such crystalline clarity. Or with such amazing fullness.

Thanks to 3 high quality 2 channel D/A converters this true Pioneer accepts both PCM for DVD-Audio and DSD for SACD playback. You catch every high-pitched note, even fastpaced passages, because of its super-high sampling frequency and resolution. And youll really admire how you can adjust the sound to match your taste, with Pioneers exclusive Legato Link Conversion PRO. Combined with Hi-bit Conversion for greater naturalism, these cuttingedge technologies bring vibrant new realism to your audio experience.
Note: Actual DVD-Audio options will depend on the DVD discs contents.

Heres a capacity for DVD-Video thats eyeopening to say the least. Youll catch your breath at the brilliantly pure colours. Super-crisp pictures. And clearly polished performance. But its what you dont see that makes the dramatic difference. Images come up hyper-real, free of visual artefacts thanks to the new VQE7 High Quality Video IC. For cleaner, smoother images, Mosquito Noise and Block Noise Reduction reduce information loss and visible noise. A powerful 108 MHz/12-bit video D/A converter further fine-tunes signal processing. And hi-tech Component Frame DNR PRO, Progressive Scan circuits and a Super Fine Focus Digital Filter make video as spellbinding as the silver screen. Now you see what the filmmaker intended.

Wherever you look, you find meticulous Pioneer touches that add to superior performance and amplify your pleasure. Consider these design advantages. For superb sound clarity, the chassis is double-layered, giving it strength and stability to suppress resonance and vibrations. To shut out mechanical noise and ensure stable disc readout, the Acoustic Damper Tray is cushioned and insulated from the loading door. And so you can bask in greater audio and video purity that means a higher signal-to-noise ratio and without interference the audio and video circuit boards are kept separate and distinct from each other. Inside and out, its obvious: the more you demand of a DVD player, the more youll be impressed by the DV-747A.

New formats are fine, but what about your collection? Relax. Youve found the multi-skilled player that pays attention to your every need. With the DV-747A, you can access virtually every 12 cm optical disc on the market and expand your realm of entertainment possibilities. Move up to the fabulous sound purity of DVD-Audio, even SACD, and the excitement of home cinema with DVD-Video discs. How about the others? No problem to play DVD-RW and DVD-R discs, recorded in either Video or DVD Video Recording mode. Not to mention CD, Video CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs, even MP3 files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. So rejoice. You wont miss a trick with the virtuoso DV-747A. Its the most format-friendly player around.
