What are the benefits of DVD-Audio in the car?
The physical properties of a car are ideally suited for a multichannel audio experience: an enclosed area where listeners can be surrounded by their favorite music and enjoy it in a manner never before available. Today’s four-speaker systems destroy the essence of the stereo signal and can make it difficult for the listener to localize, or even identify, more subtle musical elements within a song. With DVD-Audio, you have six discrete channels of audio directed at listeners. Its performance is enveloping, highly realistic, more natural, and of significantly higher quality than a traditional CD. Just as compact discs replaced vinyl record, DVD-Audio is the natural successor to the compact disc. And, DVD—in all of its various incarnations—presents the automotive manufacturer the option to create products, such as mobile media centers, that combine related technologies such as Dolby Pro Logic II and DVD-Audio.
