1FEATURES

1.Digital transfer connectors

The DVD-A11 can be connected to another digital transfer compatible Denon component (AV amplifier, etc.) using a single cable (included) for high quality digital sound with little transfer loss.

(1)Denon Link terminal

This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only DVD video signals, but also multi- channel audio signals of DVD audio.

(2)IEEE 1394 terminal

This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only DVD video signals, but also DVD audio signals, Super Audio CD signals and other multi-channel audio signals.

2.Super Audio CD multi-channel playback compatibility

In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs, the DVD-A11 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

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 24-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 (AC-3)/DTS decoder (NOTES 2, 3)

The DVD-A11 is equipped with a built-in Dolby

Digital (AC-3) /DTS decoder, allowing you to

recreate the atmosphere of a movie theater or

concert hall when using the DVD-A11 in

combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.

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

The DVD-A11 is equipped with a high precision

Progressive Scan circuit “DCDi™” allowing it to

reproduce movies and other images on DVDs with

reverberations, etc., at low levels, for a sound that seems to draw you into the concert hall. Equipped for not only the front left and right channels but also for 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 top 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 surround, center and LFE channels to provide optimum sound quality during multi- channel playback as well.

a quality near that of the original.
8. 12-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 5)
The DVD-A11 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.
9. Thorough vibration-resistant design
(1) Mechanism using a hybrid loader.
(2)	The pickup mechanism is positioned at the
	center to reduce the effects of external
	vibrations.
(3)	A heavyweight chassis and low center of
	gravity make for a low vibration design.
