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 “DCDi
TM
” (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.
10. 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.
11. Multiple functions
(1) Still picture playback function
Kodak Picture CD (NOTE 6) and Fujifilm Fujicolor CD
(NOTE 7) can be played on the DVD-3910.
Still images stored in JPEG format on CD-R/RWs can also
be played.
(2) Windows Media™ playback function (NOTE 8)
Windows Media™ CDs can be played on the DVD-3910.
(3) Multiple audio function
Selection of up to 8 audio languages.
(The number of languages offered differs from DVD to
DVD.)
(4) Multiple subtitle function
Selection of up to 32 subtitle languages.
(The number of languages offered differs from DVD to
DVD.)
(5) Multiple angle function
The angle of view can be changed.
(For DVDs on which multiple angles are recorded.)
(6) GUI (Graphical User Interface) function
The DISPLAY button on the remote control unit can be
used to display player and disc information on the TV
screen.
(7) Marker function
The positions of up to five scenes can be stored in the
memory, so you can watch your favourite scenes
whenever you want.
(8) Playback disable function
This function can be used to disable playback of DVDs you
do not want children to watch.
