space can be used to provide audio at highest possible quality or for longer recordings, or to provide additional material, such as infromation on artist, photos and even video, all of which can be displaye don a television screen. Alternatively, DVD Audio discs currently on market from likes of Warner group of labels have audio content in both DVD Audio format and as Dolby Digital surround so that they can be played back on regular DVD players.DVD Audio discs are navigable in same way as DVD Video when polayed back on a player connected to a TV set. Users can select required track from an on-screen menu and with an internet connection, can click on links to go to websites. These dual format discs are a good way to kick-start market while DVD Audio players are still relativley rare. The market will also be helped by combined DVD Video and Audio players.
