THX Ultra Certified

DV-SP1000E

PRISTINE REPRODUCTION OF AUDIO AND VIDEO DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN BY CHANCE

Our primary objective in the creation of the DV-SP1000E was to provide you with the latest digital technologies, the highest quality parts and build. You might think we were overreaching. Once you experience how much further your entertainment system goes, you’ll be thanking our engineers.

To earn the THX Ultra badge of approval, the DV-SP1000E underwent a demanding series of quality and performance tests to ensure you’ll have all the essential elements needed for a flawless transformation of the cinema experience to your home.

OPLUS FLEXSCALE VIDEO SCALING

CAPABILITY

While HD-DVD with a native resolution of over NTSC 480p or PAL 576p is still on the drawing board, you can experience HD level 720p and 1080i via FlexScale video scaling capability from Oplus. Built- in to the DV-SP1000E and so eliminating the need for costly external scalers,

FlexScale takes NTSC 480i or PAL 576i DVDs beyond normal progressive scan players and into the HD domain by enabling 720p or 1080i output through the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) out on the rear.

VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)

Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can’t remove it completely. VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points and these discrete points are joined

with analogue vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave

form. The result–a virtually noiseless, smooth analogue

signal based on the digital source.

EXCLUSIVE DUAL DIRECT DIGITAL PATH

Unlike other DVD players that use inex- pensive PC-board copper traces to transfer the digital audio signal, the DV-SP1000E employs dual high-purity, heavy gauge, shielded cables to directly output digital or PCM bitstreams straight from the disc to the back panel. This

protects the audio signal against potential noise from nearby microprocessors and power supplies. So if you use the optical or coaxial digital output to send multi-channel Dolby Digital, DTS and more to your compatible receiver, you’re starting off with the cleanest possible signal.

ANALOG DEVICES 216 MHZ/14-BIT

NSV VIDEO DAC

A crucial factor in achieving clear, pristine digital video playback is the video D/A converter in your DVD player. The state-of-the- art 216 MHz/14-bit video DAC from Analog Devices featured in the DV-SP1000E gives you the finest

artifact-free picture available. Features such as 4x oversampling and Noise Shaped Video (NSV) dramatically reduce noise interference to the video signal, so you can enjoy even the most subtle of nuances in your favorite movies.
