Before You Start

Features

Equipped with an i.LINK port for digital transfers of high-quality media

By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable between components with i.LINK ports, you can get direct digital transfers of not only DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel audio such as Super Audio CD or DVD- Audio, which previously could only be connected in analog with five audio cords, as well as 2-channel audio like conventional CDs (see page 55).

When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this unit with JFTS- compatible components, you can play jitter- free audio.

An HDCP-compatible HDMI*1 terminal is provided to ensure the very highest picture and digital sound quality by fully digital transmission.

This unit comes with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) jack, an extended DVI interface for next-generation televisions. This interface allows transfers of uncompressed digital video and digital audio (audio streams like Dolby Digital and DTS as well as linear PCM) with a single connector. HDMI standard Ver. 1.1 compatibility means the unit can also transfer DVD-Audio multi- channel audio over HDMI.

End-to-end full-digital transfers with all- digital processing make it possible to enjoy realistic video without any of the image degradation from AD/DA conversions. And with the inclusion of our newly developed, high-precision 10-bit scaler IC, the unit can up-convert 480p video signals to 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video output signals by way of the scaling function and the HDMI jack (see page 52).

High quality 14-bit/216MHz Video D/ A converter*2

The unit uses a Video D/A converter that performs D/A conversion of all video signals in 14-bits and can perform 8X over-sampling

to let you enjoy beautiful video possible with DVD. Furthermore, NSV technology suppresses noise during DA conversion.

Support for 10-bit advanced progressive NTSC/PAL with newly developed chroma-error compensation.

Our newly developed chroma-error compen- sation completely eliminates the chroma error that occurs near perpendicular edges in color-difference signals.

dts 96kHz/24 bit compatibility

It is equipped with a dts 96/24 decoder that lets you enjoy dts audio with sound quality as high as 96kHz/24bit. This prod- uct does not support dts 88.2kHz/24bit.

Dolby Headphone compatibility

The Head Phone can reproduce the world of Dolby Surround with realistic ambience like that you would experience using a 5.1 ch system (Excluding Super Audio CD) (see

page 13).

Lip Sync capability

When it is connected to a plasma display or projector, it corrects the time lag between the video and audio created by the video circuit processing time in units of 10msec up to a maximum of 200msec. It precisely synchronizes the actors’ voices and the movements of their mouths (see page 31).

Equipped with a Super Audio CD Distance compensation function

It can perform Distance adjustment of Super Audio CD that was formerly impossible by converting it to PCM (see page 44).
