"Our decision to use the Philips SAA7893HL for our next generation of DVD players could not have been easier", said Kim Young-Han, DVD+SACD Principal Engineer and Project Manager at Samsung Electronics.
"SACD technology delivers the highest possible multichannel audio quality".
"By utilising the easy-to-implement SAA7893HL from Philips, Samsung will be able to offer a truly unbelievable sound experience to end consumers at an affordable price".
The high-performance SACD decoding and post-processing capabilities of the Philips SAA7893HL allow the makers of DVD players to bring high-quality multichannel sound to end consumers at reasonable prices.
It is a flexible single-chip hardware and software solution that offers complete SACD functionality, yet avoids the need for continual redesign and reintegration of SACD into various applications.
Due to the integrated multiple loader and host interfaces, the SAA7893HL can support many different DVD platforms.
It enables manufacturers to introduce DVD video players and receivers that can support six-channel SACD and DVD playback.
The six-channel DAC outputs of the DVD host are routed via the chip, which provides a DAC switch function between SACD mode and DVD mode.
Offering a complete solution, including Annex J+ level SW API, the SAA7893HL also incorporates a full SACD software stack.
