ENGLISH 1 FEATURES 1. Newly developed high performance 10 bit I/P converter performing all processing with a precision of 10 bits A high precision film/video source detection function not only makes the DVD-5910 compatible with 30 frame film sources, but also achieves high quality images with smooth, natural pictures and little jaggy noise even when playing images that presented problems during editing. In addition, a large number of picture quality adjustment functions, including noise reduction and digital gamma correction, enables output of not only progressive but also HDMI/DVI signals, so fine adjustments can be made according to the display you are using. 2. Newly developed 10-bit scaler for high definition pixel conversion The DVD-5910 is equipped with a newly developed scaler that uses an original algorithm to conduct pixel conversion of the video output signals which have been given optimum progressive processing with the I/P converter into higher definition 720P or 1080i signals with 10-bit precision. This in conjunction with the high performance 10-bit I/P converter makes for effective high picture quality playback, and enables output for digital signals via the HDMI/DVI connectors without reduction in picture quality due to analog conversion. In addition, the signals are optimized for output to the independent HDMI and DVI transmitters, so two digital video signals can be output at the same time. 3. DPI (DENON Pixel Image) correction function for more natural outline correction DENON has developed an outline correction circuit using a new algorithm that samples the image data of pixels adjacent to the perceived pixels and processes them. The image is detected and processed in units of pixels in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions, thereby generating more natural outlines. In addition, other processing is performed in ways optimum for the images, for example brightness signals and color signals are processed with independent algorithms, ringing that tends to occur when images are enhanced is restrained, etc., thereby achieving more natural images with no reduction in picture quality. 4. 14-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 1) The DVD-5910 uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 14 bits and allows 8X oversampling in the progressive mode to achieve the high quality picture that DVDs are meant to provide. In addition, NSV technology reduces noise upon D/A conversion. 5. HDMI/DVI digital video interface (NOTE 2) HDMI Ver. 1.1 enables digital transfer of the video and audio signals of DVD audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM, something that was not possible with HDMI Ver. 1.0. The DVD-5910 is HDMI Ver. 1.1 compatible. (1) HDMI connector Digital video signals are transferred in Y Cb Cr or RGB. The audio signals can be transferred simultaneously, so both audio and video signals can be transferred with a single cable. (2) DVI-D connector Digital video signals are transferred in RGB. 6. Advanced AL24 Processing "Advanced AL24 Processing" which greatly increases the amount of information in the time axis area using unique high speed signal detection and processing technology for the PCM signal (CD/DVD) playback circuitry is provided for 2-channel output. In addition to expansion of data to 24 bits, natural signal correction without marring the original data is performed with upconversion sampling. In addition, DENON's original analog waveform reproduction technology, "AL24 Processing PLUS", is used for the 5.1channel audio output, resulting in high sound quality for all PCM signal sources. 7. High precision 24-bit D/A converter The audio playback circuit includes an advanced segment type D/A converter with the high technical specifications in the business, manufactured by Burr-Brown, a company with an established reputation for D/A converters. This high performance D/A converter allows not only input of the 24bit/192 kHz data of DVD-Audio discs, it also includes an analog pure FIR filter for ideal DSD playback of Super Audio CDs. Furthermore, for mixed left and right channel signals, this D/A converter is used for independent monaural modes for both the left and right channels, a true luxury enabling playback of even high quality signals. 8. DENON LINK/IEEE1394 digital audio transfer connectors (1) DENON LINK terminal This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only a DVD's audio signals, but also DVD-A audio multi-channel signals, and Super Audio CD Signals (Denon Link version 3). (2) IEEE 1394 terminal This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only a DVD's audio signals, but also DVD-A audio signals, Super Audio CD signals and other multi-channel audio signals. 9. THX® Ultra Certification, the symbol of excellent high quality (NOTE 3) The DVD-5910 meets THX® Ultra standards, a strict set of criteria advocated by Lucasfilm on the picture and sound quality of DVD video players and their operability with connected equipment. This makes it possible to achieve the high quality pictures and sound. 10. Super Audio CD multi-channel playback compatibility In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs, the DVD5910 can play multi-channel Super Audio CDs with a playback frequency range covering 100 kHz and a dynamic range of 120 dB or greater within the audible frequency range, and a maximum of 5.1 channels can be output. 7
