However, when the digital signal is decoded using an HDCD decoder like that in the RMD-90, they will provide exceptional musical reproduction. The RMD-90 decodes these discs just like a DTS movie soundtrack when played on a CD player or DVD player with a digital output connection. DVD-A music discs: Taking advantage of the increased storage capacity of the DVD disc, new high bit rate multichannel audio recordings are available on DVD-A discs. Several of these formats (standard PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS 5. 1 can be decoded by the RMD-90 when the DVD player is connected with a digital cable.
