THX Ultra2 Certification
For more than a decade, THX Certification has set the highest standard for home theater equipment. Besides being able to produce exceptional movie sound
quality through Ultra2 Cinema and to create truly uplifting music with Music Mode, it also features Game
Mode, a post-processing technology
and listening mode that revolutionizes the home video game experience by immersing the player into the action. To complete the package, Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) reduces “boomy” bass from listening positions adjacent to walls and other obstructions.
Audiophile-Grade Components
The power supply is arguably one of the most critical components in a high-end amplifier. The DTR-10.5 employs a massive toroidal power transformer to ensure that there is
plenty of current on-demand to beautifully reproduce the dynamics of music and movies. Custom high capacity filter capacitors give you greater power delivery at low frequencies, plus tremendous continuous
power reserves. For hi-fi purists, discrete, precision matched output transistors pro- vide faster switching speed, which trans- lates into a wider dynamic range.
Wolfson® 192 kHz/24-Bit DACs for All Channels
Widely recognized as one of the industry’s best, these sophisticated digital-to-analog converters from Wolfson process more information faster, deliver an impressive dynamic range, and are virtually jitter-free. If you want the best performance possible from
DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD and other high-resolution formats, you’ll appreciate these ultra-precise converters.
i.LINK (IEEE-1394)
The promise of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD was an elation to music lovers around the world. Their jubilance was short lived with the realization that analog cables (up to six of them) would be needed to connect the DVD player to the receiver. It was soon recognized that these sophisticated multi-channel
recordings, with quality of sound never realized before, would require a new type of connection to bring out their true potential. Enter i.LINK – it simplifies and at the same time expands your audio experience through a high-bandwidth, high-resolution connection over a single cable. One wire carries high-resolution multi-channel audio in the digital domain to provide the blissful experience you’ve been waiting for, without the hassle. i.LINK — the new standard for digital audio.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
HDMI adds digital video to round out the system, creating
a completely digital home theater experience. While the
name may be imposing, HDMI simplifies wiring by doing away with the myriad cables required for a state-of-the-art home entertainment system. By keeping everything in the digital realm, unnecessary digital to analog conversions are eliminated. Conventional composite, S-video, and 480i component sources are upconverted to 480p for reduced “jaggies” and flicker. With technology shifting to digital displays such as plasma and LCD, a lossless digital signal guarantees the crystal-clear images and pristine music your home theater deserves. HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI displays by using an adapter cable.
Video Upconversion
For those customers with analog displays, the DTR-10.5 also features high quality conversion of composite and S-video signals up to component video,
including time-base correction for increased compatibility. While the DTR-10.5 is one of the most advanced home theater components on the face of the earth, you’re still likely to have some composite or S-Video only components in your system. Connect your VCR, cable box, or
satellite receiver to the DTR-10.5 and each signal will flow to your compatible TV or projector via one component cable. This simplifies connection to your display and makes the system easier to operate since the television can always remain on the same video input.
