Pioneer KRP-500P, KRP-500M High Performance 216MHz/12-bit Video D/A Converter, Pure Audio Mode

DVD Player

High Performance 216MHz/12-bit Video D/A Converter

When video signals are output via component terminals, the DVD player uses an extremely fast and accurate 216MHz/12-bit Video D/A Converter. Combining 8x oversampling with 12-bit precision, this premium device ensures superior linearity by preventing phase fluctuations.

Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit Audio DAC

Pioneer chose a high performance 192kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Converter (Burr-Brown PCM1796) for each of the six channels, ensuring top quality multi-channel sound. This DAC uses an independent power supply to prevent interference from other circuits.

Solid Audio Circuit Block for Superior Sound

All decoding functions for DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD and DTS 96/24 are integrated into a single AV decoder chip, allowing a simple and straight signal path. The isolated audio board prevents noise interference, while clean power is supplied by the use of low-impedance capacitors for clearest sound.

Pure Audio Mode

Pure Audio provides the optimal conditions for reproducing analogue sound. When it is activated, it turns off the video output and fluorescent display (which can cause noise). It also stops digital signal transmission via HDMI, so the analogue audio signals are not interfered with in any way.

* Pure Audio is activated via the initial settings.

Seamless Chassis Construction

H i g h q u a l i t y e x t e n d s t o t h e b o d y construction, with the base plate and back panel seamlessly combined into a single chassis unit. This helps stabilise earthing for enhanced sound quality.

Anti-Vibration Design

To ensure that vibrations cannot affect the sound quality, Pioneer developed a reinforced chassis with dual layer construction. The player also employs a Direct Mount Drive Mechanism, which minimises vibrations from the drive. Its low centre of gravity design adds stability to the chassis. Additional features include an acoustic damper tray that suppresses transport noise while insulating the pickup from vibrations and a low-leakage power shield case.

HDD/DVD Recorder

108MHz/14-bit Video DAC (DVR-LX70)

The DVR-LX70 uses a high performance 108MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter that contributes to excellent picture quality by boosting the resolution to close to that of the original DVD source.

Super High Quality XP+ Recording Mode

Both HDD/DVD Recorders feature the XP+ recording mode, which lets you make extra high quality recordings to the HDD by using a transfer rate of around 15 Mbps. It also lets you store programmes from external components at the same high quality.

Extensive Disc Compatibility

No worries about disc compatibility with these two units. In addition to DVD, CD and CD-R/RW discs, you can enjoy a wide selection of other disc types: DVD-RAM*, DVD-R/RW, Dual layer DVD-R, DVD+R/RW, and Double Layer DVD+R.
