• Dual-Focus Hologram Laser Lens
The MVP841 incorporates a dual-focus hologram lens that
splits the beam of the already superfine laser so it can read
two disc layers simultaneously. This unique design elimi-
nates the need for two separate laser systems and ensures
full compatibility with your existing CD library. The
unique MVP841 Red Laser has a thinner beam with a
shorter wavelength to more accurately read the densely-
packed 4.7 gigabytes of information on a single layer of a
DVD disc.
• Advanced Transport
The MVP841 has a new mechanism with the advanced
digital servo for faster, quieter and accurate operation.The
transport has side suspension dampers for improved
trackability and lower bit error rate. Also included is a new
hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor. These mechanical
innovations ensure greater stability for playback even with
high sound pressure levels in the home theater room.
• Advanced Video DAC
An advanced technology 10-Bit DAC (Digital Analog Con-
verter) performs video signal processing at a faster rate
than ever for enhanced DVD picture quality. A DVD can
generate pictures in amazing detail, thanks to 500 lines of
horizontal resolution capability, which is more than twice
that of VHS video tapes.
• 96kHz 24 BIT Burr Brown Audio DAC
The MVP841 built-in Burr Brown 96kHz 24 Bit Digital to
Analog Converter ensures future compatibility with the
higher rate audio formats. This advanced audio DAC can
handle high fidelity 96KHz/24-bit sound, one of the high-
est qualities in the DVD format.
