Features
High-end DVD player for playback of Audio DVDs and Video DVDs. The machine
makes full use of the latest advances in DVD technology.
Extended K2 Processing Version 2.0
Extended K2 processing takes the music signal before any band limitation is presumed and the digital signal is
expanded for the high bit and high sampling. Version 2.0 strengthens this frequency by as much as four times and is
carried by the front two channels. 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are expanded and reformed as 24 bit 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz
signals respectively. The means that the playback quality of the digital source is one level closer to the original master.
PEM • DD Converter with 192 kHz/24 bit Support
This model includes our recently developed PEM • DD converter that supports the 192 kHz/24 bit signal that is top
specification for Audio DVD voice format. The front two channels use separate DAC configurations for the left and right
channels. With a dynamic range of 112 dB, it achieves a high frequency distortion factor of less than 0.001 %.
In addition, all channels use the same D/A converter which provides a jitter-free fine clock generator and the use of
dedicated audio R core power transformer and other features deliver excellent sound quality.
Interference-free, Vibration-free, Resonance-free Construction
Each circuit is isolated to exclude mutual interference between the circuits, with each five block structure being
independent. Analog related circuits are completely isolated from the sub-chassis with the digital elements such as
the dedicated audio power transformer. Furthermore, the occurrence of unnecessary oscillation and outside influences
are excluded by the 3.2 mm steel base plate and the solid aluminum casing. The airtightness of the unit has been
dramatically improved with the use of an airtight disc tray to shut out external vibration and option of completely
turning off the video circuitry to achieve the maximum sound quality possible.
Progressive Video Output
The progressive output (525P) of the video signal from a 24-frame/second film reduces flicker so that it is not noticeable,
even when played back on a large screen, for sharp, clear images. This matches the reality and enjoyment achieved
in movie theaters. Moreover, our recently developed three dimensional progressive function means that normal video
can also achieve the same quality as DVD titles and film through this progressive conversion to digital images.
