ENGLISH 4. Dolby Digital decoder (NOTE 1) Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the different channels are completely independent, recreates "three-dimensional" sound fields (sounds with a sense of distance, movement and position) with no crosstalk between channels for greater reality. In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 0.1 channel for low frequency effects) have a playback range extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range of CDs, thus resulting in clearer, more richly expressive sound. 5. ®, HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital®) decoder (NOTE 2) 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 24-bit data to be converted into the 16-bit 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, DVDs and HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified and the optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used. 6. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder (NOTE 3) DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound. 7. Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (V.S.S.) function Even when just two front speakers are being used, the user can simply press the V.S.S. (Virtual Surround Sound) button during playback of a Dolby Digital DVD (2 channel and above) to provide a rear surround effect. (This does not work with DVD Karaoke discs. In addition, this effect may differ depending on the kind of DVD used.) 8. Increasing your enjoyment of picture An array of picture quality modes yielded by digital processing Signal deterioration is kept to the minimum by processing the data as digital data. This feature can be used as the picture quality setting individually tailored for DVD playback. • Digital Picture Mode Using the On-Screen Menu Icons enables the cinema mode, which is best for the playback of movie programs, to be selected. In addition, the picture quality best suited to the type of software programs concerned can be selected. In all, four picture quality modes are provided: normal, soft, fine and cinema. • User mode Using the On-Screen Menu Icons, the contrast, color hue, equalizer and brightness can be adjusted to suit your own preference. • Monitor selector Once the type of TV used [Standard (Direct View TV), CRT Projector, LCD Projector, Projection TV] has been selected when the initial setting operations are performed, the optimum picture quality for the type of TV concerned will be automatically selected. 9.
