McIntosh Laboratory Introduces The MVP861 Universal Player (22/9/2004)

McIntosh Laboratory, a world leader in home entertainment systems for over 54 years, introduces the MVP861 Audio Video Player.

The MVP861, McIntosh' fourth generation DVD player, is a universal player with built in SACD, DVD Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS Decoder. The decoder outputs stereo and 5.1 audio surround sound. Three 192kHz/24-bit PCM/DSD stereo DACs provide superior high fidelity sound. Speaker calibration can be selected for different size speakers, channel level and delay time. Bass management of two channel and multi-channel sources is built in to the MVP861. The MVP861 has both coaxial and optical digital audio outputs for an external decoder plus XLR connectors for true balanced stereo output.

Video features include progressive scan and the choice of NTSC or PAL video output. The MVP861 utilizes 12-bit high-speed video DAC, where video signal processing is performed at a rapid rate minimizing digital artifacts for enhanced DVD picture quality. To accommodate a wide range of monitors, the MVP861 has selectable component video output of 480P or 480I as well as component `S' and composite video output.

The audio sections of the MVP861 have been optimized for the finest playback of CD, SACD and DVD-Audio and film soundtracks. Balanced 24 bit/192 KHz and DSD Digital to Analog Converters are used in the MVP861 along with an advanced R-Core power supply with dedicated voltage regulation for each stage of the MVP861.

An on screen display feature allows the control of a variety of setting via the remote control. An RS232C port supports AMX, Crestron and other integrated control system.

The MVP861 is scheduled to ship in October at a suggested retail price of $4,000. The MVP861 will be officially introduced at CEDIA 2004 and can be seen along with McIntosh's other outstanding electronics and loudspeakers at the McIntosh Booth # 355.
