2.Super Audio CD multi-channel playback compatibility

In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs, the DVD- 3910 can play multi-channel Super Audio CDs with a playback frequency range covering 100 kHz and a dynamic range of 120 dB or greater within the audible frequency range, and a maximum of 5.1 channels can be output.

3.AL24 Processing Plus at all channel

AL24 Processing Plus compensates the input digital data to reproduce the sound with analog waveforms as close as possible to those existing in nature and with 24-bit quality. The result is increased musical reproduction capabilities of reverberations, etc., at low levels, for a sound that seems to draw you into the concert hall.

Equipped for not only the left and right channels but also for the front left and right, the surround left and right, center and subwoofer channels.

4.High precision 24-bit D/A converter

The audio playback circuit includes an advanced segment type D/A converter with the high technical specifications in the business, manufactured by Burr-Brown, a company with an established reputation for D/A converters. This high performance D/A converter allows not only input of the 24- bit/192 kHz data of DVD-Audio discs, it also includes an analog pure FIR filter for ideal DSD playback of Super Audio CDs. Furthermore, the same DAC is used unsparingly for the front, the surround, center and LFE channels to provide optimum sound quality during multi-channel playback as well.

5.HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital®) decoder (NOTE 1)

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 20-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 and HDCD- compatible CDs are automatically identified, and the optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used.

6.Dolby Digital/DTS decoder (NOTE 2, 3)

The DVD-3910 is equipped with a built-in Dolby Digital/DTS decoder, allowing you to recreate the atmosphere of a movie theater or concert hall when using the DVD-3910 in combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.

7.Progressive Scan circuit “DCDiTM” (NOTE 4)

The DVD-3910 is equipped with a high precision Progressive Scan circuit “DCDi™” allowing it to reproduce movies and other images on DVDs with a quality near that of the original.

8.Newly developed video processing circuit

The differences in brightness and color level between adjacent picture elements in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions are detected to adjust the contours. The brightness signal and color signal are processed separately, resulting in natural, clear images.

9.12-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 5)

The DVD-3910 uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 12 bits and allows 8X oversampling in the progressive mode to achieve the high quality picture that DVDs are meant to provide. In addition, NSV technology reduces noise upon D/A conversion.
