ENGLISH 3. AL24 Processing Plus at all channel AL24 Processing Plus compensates the input digital data to reproduce the sound with analog waveforms as close as possible to those existing in nature and with 24-bit quality. The result is increased musical reproduction capabilities of reverberations, etc., at low levels, for a sound that seems to draw you into the concert hall. Equipped for not only the front left and right channels but also for the surround left and right, center and subwoofer channels. 4. High precision 24-bit D/A converter The audio playback circuit includes an advanced segment type D/A converter with the top 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, the same DAC is used unsparingly for the surround, center and LFE channels to provide optimum sound quality during multi-channel playback as well. 5. HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital®) decoder (NOTE 1) HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that greatly reduces the distortion occurring at the time of digital recording while maintaining compatibility with the conventional CD format. HDCD allows 20-bit data to be converted into the 16bit data of current CDs with no loss in sound quality. The use of this HDCD decoder makes it possible to achieve the high resolution and low distortion characteristic of HDCD when playing HDCD-compatible discs, and DENON's digital technology optimizes the high sound quality possibilities of HDCD technology. Furthermore, normal CDs and HDCDcompatible CDs are automatically identified, and the optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used. 6. Dolby Digital (AC-3)/DTS decoder (NOTE 2, 3) The DVD-5900 is equipped with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) /DTS decoder, allowing you to recreate the atmosphere of a movie theater or concert hall when using the DVD-5900 in combination with an AV amplifier and speakers. 7. Progressive Scan circuit "DCDiTM" (NOTE 4) The DVD-5900 is equipped with a high precision Progressive Scan circuit "DCDi™" allowing it to reproduce movies and other images on DVDs with a quality near that of the original. 8. 12-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 5) The DVD-5900 uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 12 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. 9. Thorough vibration-resistant design (1) Mechanism using a hybrid loader. (2) The pickup mechanism is positioned at the center to reduce the effects of external vibrations. (3) A heavyweight chassis and low center of gravity make for a low vibration design. 10. Multiple functions (1) Still picture playback function Kodak Picture CD (NOTE 6) and Fujifilm Fujicolor CD (NOTE 7) can be played on the DVD-5900. Still images stored in JPEG format on CD-R/RWs can also be played. (2) Windows Media™ playback function (NOTE 8) Windows Media™ CDs can be played on the DVD-5900. (3) Multiple audio function Selection of up to 8 audio languages. (The number of languages offered differs from DVD to DVD.) (4) Multiple subtitle function Selection of up to 32 subtitle languages. (The number of languages offered differs from DVD to DVD.) (5) Multiple angle function The angle of view can be changed. (For DVDs on which multiple angles are recorded.) (6) GUI (Graphical User Interface) function The DISPLAY button on the remote control unit can be used to display player and disc information on the TV screen. (7) Marker function The positions of up to five scenes can be stored in the memory, so you can watch your favorite scenes whenever you want. (8) Playback disable function This function can be used to disable playback of DVDs you do not want children to watch.
