AUDIO PLAYBACK All tests except defect tracking were made with Sound & Vision's test CD-RW using signals containing dither, which sets limits on measured distortion and noise performance. |
|
| Maximum output | 2.0 volts |
| Frequency response | 20 Hz to 20 kHz +0.05 dB, -0.1 dB |
| Noise level | (re -20 dBFS, A-wtd) -74.7 dB |
| Excess noise (without/with sine-wave signal) | |
| 16-bit
(EN16) quasi-20-bit (EN20) |
+0.4/+0.4

| Linearity error (at -90 dBFS) | +0.2 dB |
| Noise modulation | 0.5 dB |
| Defect tracking | (Pierre Verany test disc) 200 µm |
| DVD-VIDEO
PERFORMANCE Measurements were made from a variety of DVD test discs, all through the player's composite-video output except as noted. |
|
| Maximum white level | +2 IRE |
| Setup level | +7.5 IRE |
| Differential gain | 0% |
| Differential phase | 0° |
| Horizontal luminance frequency response | |
| (re
level at 1 MHz) at 4 MHz ±0 dB at 5 MHz -0.6 dB at 6 MHz -0.9 dB at 6.75 MHz (DVD limit) -1.1 dB |

| Onscreen resolution | 540 lines |
| Pixel cropping | left 0, right 0, top 0, bottom 4 |
| In-player letterboxing | poor |
| Component-output level error | |
| (Y/Pr/Pb) +5.3/-11.6/-12.7% | |
| Component-output timing error | |
| (Pr/Pb) +9/+8 nanoseconds | |
The player's main deficiency on the test bench was its large component-output color-level errors, which can lead to less saturated colors in the image than from the other outputs. Not all component-input monitors can correct for this problem. - David Ranada
