A DVD player is a device that plays discs produced under both the DVD-Video and DVD-Audio technical standards, two different and incompatible standards.

Technical Details

A DVD player has to complete these tasks:

  • Read a DVD disc in ISO – UDF version 1.2 format
  • optionally decrypt the data with either CSS and/or Macrovision
  • read and obey the DVD's Regional lockout codes and display a warning if the player is not authorised to play the DVD
  • decode the MPEG-2 video stream with a maximum of 10 Mbit/s (peak) or 8 Mbit/s (continuous)
  • decode sound in MP2, PCM or AC-3 format and output (with optional AC-3 to stereo downsampling) on stereo connector, optical or electric digital connector
  • output a video signal, either an analog one (in NTSC, PAL or SECAM format) on the composite, S-Video, SCART, or component video connectors, or a digital one on the DVI or HDMI connectors

What type of adapter do I need to turn my dvd player and sattelite speakers into a home theater?
Q. When you buy a home theater, you basically get a dvd player and speakers. I have a really good dvd player, and I have speakers that a friend gave me, How can I turn this into a home theater? The dvd player has basic audio in/out jacks on the back. Is there an adapter that i can hook all of my speaker wires into, and then plug that into the audio jacks on my dvd player?

A. Not really, you still need a suround sound receiver/amplifier. The amp sends the proper signals to each speaker.
