4. Dolby Digital (AC-3) bitstream output compatibility
(NOTE 1)
The DVM-3700 is compatible with Dolby Digital (AC-3)
bitstream output. When a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder is
connected, the three-dimensional sense and positioning
of the sound is recreated extremely naturally, resulting in
a strong sense of presence, as if you were in a movie
theater or concert hall.

) 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 bitstream output compatibility (NOTE 3)
The DVM-3700 is compatible with DTS bitstream output,
an optional audio format for DVD video. DTS sound can
be enjoyed by connecting a commercially available DTS
decoder and AV amplifier.
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. High picture quality thanks to a 10-bit video D/A
converter
(1) The 8-bit/13.5 MHz brightness and color component
signals recorded on DVDs are expanded to 10-bit/27
MHz signals and requantized, leaving room to spare in
the processing of the recorded signals to provide the
beautiful pictures DVDs have to offer. Furthermore,
color component video output terminals are provided
for even more faithful reproduction of the colors.
(2) 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.
