Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Designed as more of a system show-off than system set-up set, The Ultimate DVD Silver is best viewed for the sheer pleasure of its aural and visual vignettes. While shorter (and more affordable) than either the Gold or deluxe Platinum editions, this disc, like its brethren, showcases different features and capabilities of DVD-video. You'll find everything from examples of different screen formats and multi-angle viewing to demos of multiple language tracks and surround-sound formats such as DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic. For demo material, the disc draws from a deep and exciting reserve of quality filmmaking and animation, including excerpts from classics ("Chronos," "Beyond the Mind's Eye") and lesser-known gems ("Liquefied," "Jackpot"), as well as documentaries ("Boeing 777 PTQ," "Africa: The Serengeti") and music (Tangerine Dream, Scott Rockenfield & Paul Speer).

Highly useful is the ability to compare the quality and characteristics of the different surround formats in use today (provided your DVD player or surround receiver can decode them). If your DVD remote has an Audio button, you can even switch between Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel soundtracks while you watch. Audiophiles will delight in both the prominence of 5.1-channel music and the presence of a music-only track by the Joe Stanley Sextet recorded at 96-kHz/24-bit resolution. (Listen through your DVD player's analog outputs here; again, you must have compatible hardware--in this case, 96-kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters--to appreciate this feature.) This set is pure candy for the eyes and ears--gorge yourself. --Michael Mikesell
