DVD-AUDIO
DVD-Audio is nothing less than the world standard for super-high fidelity sound. With approximately seven times the storage capacity of CDs and data-loss-free reproduc- tion of 192 kHz/24-bit 2-channel stereo or 96 kHz/24-bit 6- channel surround sound, DVD-Audio provides ultra-high per- formance stereo sound and multiple-channel sound that realistically captures the acoustics of the finest music on the market.
SUPER AUDIO CD (SA-CD)
Starting a revolution in the way music is digitally recorded and played back, Super Audio CD (SA-CD) incorporates Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology for a frequency response of over 100 kHz and a dynamic range over 120 dB. Hybrid SA-CDs, containing both a normal CD layer and
aSA-CD layer, or SA-CD only discs can provide a multi- channel or stereo mix for the next step in the evolution of pristine sound.
HDMI OUTPUT
The latest in digital interface technology is here and it goes by the name of HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). The DV-SP1000E features an output for unparalleled amounts of compressed or uncompressed digital audio and video–up to
5Gbps of data–can be handled with just one high-speed cable.
I.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE 1394)
The reduction of up to six analogue cables to one single digital cable capable of carrying multi-channel audio is here. i.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE 1394) provides the high-band-
width, high-resolution signal transfer of audio that multi- channel formats like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD have been waiting for. Even better, content stays in the pure digital realm as there are no unnecessary D/A or A/D conversions performed. Experience the pure digital multi- channel music experience you’ve been waiting for.
VERIDIC PROGRESSIVE SCAN NTSC/PAL
Most DVDs are “progressive”–meaning they produce video in complete frames. But to be compatible with all TVs, the DVD signal must be interlaced–a method where the picture is split into two fields and then “interlaced” back together to look like one. ONKYO’s exclusive Veridic Progressive Scan for NTSC and PAL systems, retrieves the original progressive signal, and on such compatible displays as HDTV, Plasma or digital TV and high-end pro- jectors, “paints” all the visible lines on the screen in a single pass–so you’ll enjoy a genuine, scan-line free image, with spectacularly clear colour, no motion artifacts, and details so sharp they’ll seem as if they’re etched onto the screen.
BI-DIRECTIONAL RS232 TERMINAL
Go all out with this bi-directional RS232 terminal on the back of the DV-SP1000E. Control is enhanced with connectability to elaborate home-automation controllers from Crestron, AMX and others. Worries about future technologies are alleviated with soft-
ware upgradability via this bi-directional RS232 terminal ensuring this is one DVD player that won’t become obsolete.
VIDEO CIRCUIT ON/OFF CONTROL
For the best audio quality possible, you can turn off the video circuitry when using the DV-SP1000E as an audio only player. This eliminates the possibility of interference between the player’s video and audio circuitry giving you a purer signal for your listening pleasure.
12 V TRIGGER INPUT AND IR INPUT/OUTPUT
Bring more control to your remote. An assignable 12 V trigger to switch on another amplifier or video screen. An IR output lets you use your receiver’s remote to operate the major functions of other RI- compatible components! Start the entire show at just the touch of one button on your remote.
