NEW MODEL INFORMATION
DVD-9000
These converters provide a very high sampling frequency of 108 MHz,
with 4x oversampling used for Progressive and 8x oversampling for
Interlaced operation, resulting in more detailed D/A conversion. Since a
filter with ample cutoff characteristics can also be used for the analog
low-pass filter, the DVD-9000 reproduces the delicate nuances of video
signals, allowing viewers to enjoy the original picture at a high level of
fidelity.
Noise Shaving Video (NSV)
The NSV feature reduces noise in the video signal frequency band in
order to enhance video signal linearity.
Super Sub Alias Filter
The S/N ratio can be improved when unwanted signals of higher than 6.75
MHz following D/A conversion are cut. The DVD-9000 thus uses a Super
Sub Alias Filter that produces flat characteristics, ensuring that adverse
influences do not affect video signals inside the essential frequency band,
and folding noise is eliminated. In the DVD-9000, the Super Sub Alias
Filter is applied to the chroma signal as well as the luminance signal,
improving color reproducibility.
A Wealth of Picture Quality Adjustment Functions
Contrast, Brightness, Hue, Sharpness, and Gamma can be adjusted as
desired by the user.
AL24 Processing Plus
Denon has further developed its proprietary AL24 Processing analog
waveform reproduction technology to support the 192-kHz sampling
frequency. This new technology, AL24 Processing Plus, thoroughly
suppresses quantization noise associated with D/A conversion of
LPCM signals to reproduce the low-level signals with optimum clarity
and bring out all the delicate nuances of a rich, musical sound.
24-bit, 192-kHz Audio D/A Converters
The DVD-9000 uses a high-performance 24-bit, 192-kHz D/A converter to
faithfully convert high-quality 24-bit data generated by AL24 Processing
Plus.
Pure Direct Mode
The DVD-9000 includes a Pure Direct mode that further improves
sound quality. During pure audio output, Pure Direct mode turns off digi-
tal signal output, video signal output, and displays that easily influence
analog audio signals and allows only audio output. The user can define
which operations are to be turned off and store those preferences in
memory.
Layout for High Sound Quality
The DVD-9000's audio, video, digital, and power supply circuit boards
have been isolated into independent blocks to prevent mutual interference.
Independent Power Supplies
Independent power supplies have been provided for the audio signal
processing block, the video signal block and other areas to eliminate
mutual distortion with other blocks. Clean supplies of power to the various
circuits contribute to high picture and sound quality.
Parts for High Sound Quality
Bass Management
When playing multi-channel Dolby Digital, LPCM or MLP sources, it is
possible to preset speaker configurations and delay times.
DENON Link
When the DVD-9000 is connected via a shielded twisted pair (STP)
cable to a DENON Link compliant A/V receiver, the DENON Link interface
enables high-grade LPCM 24-bit / 96-kHz / 6-channel or 24-bit / 192-kHz /
2-channel (*1) digital output. Since DENON Link uses low-voltage dif-
ferential signaling (LVDS), transfer capabilities of greater than 1.2
Gbps at a differential voltage of approximately 0.3 Vpp are possible.
And since signal transfer is balanced and voltage is lower than coaxial
or unbalanced transfers, LVDS is less susceptible to noise such as
radiation, ensuring high-grade signal transfer.
HDCD Decoder
MP3 / JPEG Playback (*2)
Since the DVD-9000 supports the CD-R/RW format, it plays finalized
CD-R/RW discs containing MP3 audio files.
RS-232C Port (Third-party system controls only)
Brilliant Black
DVD-9000 can pass below black video via the video outputs for correct
monitor setup and optimum picture quality.
Self-illuminated GLO-KEY Remote Controller with Easy
Recognition Layout
The DVD-9000 comes equipped with a self-illuminating remote controller
for easy operation in a dark room.
