DVD-S1700DVD-Audio/Video and Super Audio CD Player

NEW PRODUCT BULLETIN

High Picture Quality

HDMI Output (Ver 1.1) with 1080p

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output allows the DVD player to transfer digital video and audio signals directly to an HDMI equipped monitor or

projector, instead of having

to convert them to analog. 1080p video signals can

be output, providing the most detailed high definition picture quality currently available, as well as 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080i video signals.

Noise Shaped Video™ and DCDi Progressive Scanning

This technology, from Analog Devices, uses oversampling and advanced techniques such as multi-bit sigma- delta processing and bit-shuffling to improve converter

performance by moving converter noise to an area of

the spectrum where it can be removed by an analog filter. This improves the accuracy of signal representation, allowing images to be displayed at much higher resolutions.

Other advanced technologies used to maximize image quality are Faroudja DCDi Processing,

Motion Adaptive Noise

Reduction, Cross Color Suppression, Aspect Ratio Conversion and TrueLife Enhancer.

Progressive Scanning (NTSC/PAL)

Progressive scanning provides maximum resolution for a smoother, filmlike image when viewed on a high definition TV or large screen. This player offers progressive scanning of both NTSC and PAL signals.

216 MHz/12-Bit Video DAC

This new high performance video DAC ensures superior image quality with all video sources.

High Sound Quality

DVD-Audio/Super Audio CD Playback

This player is compatible with both DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. These multi-channel music formats provide a surround sound music experience that is much more natural and lifelike than normal stereo.

Exceptionally Good Sound Quality

This model delivers sound quality that is superior even to some more expensive players. It uses a high performance 192kHz/24-bit audio DACs.

Audio Direct Mode

Selecting the Audio Direct mode cuts the video circuitry out of the signal path, so there is no chance of it affecting the sound quality. The front panel illumination is also turned off to prevent noise interference from the LCD.

Advanced Facilities

MP3, JPEG, DivX® and WMA Playback

This player will play discs recorded in the MP3 (audio), JPEG (images), DivX® (video) and WMA (audio) formats.

Bass Management

This player provides Bass Management processing and a subwoofer/bass management output terminal. Bass management is important for DVD- Audio and Super Audio CD multichannel playback, as it properly routes the bass frequencies for best performance from a multi-speaker home

theater system. With normal 2-channel (stereo) CDs, the bass frequencies are routed to the subwoofer, so you can enjoy “2.1” channel sound with more powerful bass.

RS-232C Interface

An RS-232C interface is provided so this player can be controlled via computer in a custom installation.

On-Screen Display with GUI (Graphical User Interface)

This model makes operation extremely simple by displaying a variety of clearly understandable GUI menus right on the TV or monitor screen. It’s easy to select and adjust any desired function with the remote control.

Wide Screen Mode Selection

Two modes can be selected for optimum viewing on widescreen monitors via HDMI and component video outputs: Non-Linear Stretch and Pillar Box. Non-Linear Stretch helps minimize distortion of a 4:3 picture by trimming the top and bottom to make it closer to a 16:9 picture.
