Please check to make sure the following items are included with the main unit in the carton:

The DVM-3700 is DENON’s top grade DVD video auto changer equipped with the latest in digital technology. This includes AL 24 Processing, a newly developed analog waveform reproduction technology with sights on next generation media, as well as a multi 24-bit D/A converter with 96 kHz sampling compatibility taking maximum advantage of the high quality offered by AL 24 Processing.

1. Newly developed AL 24 Processing

(1) AL 24 Processing, an advanced version of conventional

APLHA Processing, is a newly developed analog waveform reproduction technology, and offers compatibility with the high number of bits and high sampling rates of next generation media. AL 24 Processing 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.

(2) AL 24 Processing of course carries over Adaptive Line

Pattern Harmonized Algorithm & Automatic Low Pass Filter Harmonic Adjustment, the strong points of conventional ALPHA Processing. On the DVM-3700 these filters have been dramatically improved, resulting

• ACCESSORIES

4. Dolby Digital (AC-3) bitstream output compatibility (NOTE 1)

The DVM-3700 is compatible with Dolby Digital (AC-3) bitstream output. When a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder is connected, the three-dimensional sense and positioning of the sound is recreated extremely naturally, resulting in a strong sense of presence, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.

®,

HDCD®(High Definition Compatible

Digital®) decoder (NOTE 2)

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, DVDs and HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified, and the optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used.

6. DTS bitstream output compatibility (NOTE 3)

The DVM-3700 is compatible with DTS bitstream output, an optional audio format for DVD video. DTS sound can be enjoyed by connecting a commercially available DTS decoder and AV amplifier.

7. Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (V.S.S.) function

Even when just two front speakers are being used, the user can simply press the V.S.S. (Virtual Surround Sound) button during playback of a Dolby Digital DVD (2 channel and above) to provide a rear surround effect. (This does not work with DVD Karaoke discs. In addition, this effect may differ depending on the kind of DVD used.)

8. High picture quality thanks to a 10-bit video D/A converter

(1) The 8-bit/13.5 MHz brightness and color component

signals recorded on DVDs are expanded to 10-bit/27 MHz signals and requantized, leaving room to spare in the processing of the recorded signals to provide the beautiful pictures DVDs have to offer. Furthermore, color component video output terminals are provided for even more faithful reproduction of the colors.

(2) An array of picture quality modes yielded by digital

processing

Signal deterioration is kept to the minimum by processing the data as digital data. This feature can be used as the picture quality setting individually tailored for DVD playback.

• Digital Cinema Mode Using the On-Screen Menu Icons enables the cinema mode, which is best for the playback of movie programs, to be selected.

ENGLISH

In addition, the picture quality best suited to the type of solftware programs concerned can be selected. In all, four picture quality modes are provided: normal, soft, fine and cinema.

• User selection Using the On-Screen Menu Icons, the contrast, color hue, equalizer and brightness can be adjusted to suit your own preference.

• Monitor selector Once the type of TV used [Standard (Direct View TV), CRT Projector, LCD Projector, Projection TV] has been selected when the initial setting operations are performed, the optimum picture quality for the type of TV concerned will be automatically selected.

9. Many convenient functions

(1) Multiple audio function

Selection of up to 8 audio languages. (The number of languages offered differs from DVD to DVD.)

(2) Multiple subtitle function

Selection of up to 32 subtitle languages. (The number of languages offered differs from DVD to DVD.)

(3) Multiple angle function

The angle of view can be changed. (For DVDs on which multiple angles are recorded.)

(4) GUI (Graphical User Interface) function

The on-screen display button on the remote control unit can be used to display player and disc information on the TV screen.

(5) Marker function

The positions of up to five scenes can be stored in the memory, so you can watch your favorite scenes whenever you want.

(6) Playback disable function

This function can be used to disable playback of DVDs you do not want children to watch.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The DVM-3700 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-542).

(1) Inserting Batteries

q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.

w Place two batteries (“AA” (R6P)) in the battery compartment in

the direction indicated by the marks.

e Close the rear cover.

Cautions On Batteries

• Use batteries (“AA” (R6P)) in this remote control unit.

• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately once a year, though this depends on the frequency with which the remote control unit is used.

• If the remote control unit does not operate from close to the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less than a year has passed.

• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the proper direction, following the < and > marks in the remote control unit’s battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of

batteries in flames.

• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote control unit for a long period of time.

• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

(2) Using the Remote Control Unit

• When operating the remote control unit, point it at the remote control sensor as shown on the diagram.

• The remote control unit can be used from a direct distance of approximately 7 meters. This distance will be shorter, however, if there are obstacles in the way or if the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote control sensor.

• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30° with respect to the remote control sensor.

30°

Approx. 7 meters

NOTES:

• It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

• Do not press buttons on the main unit and on the remote control unit at the same time. Doing so will result in malfunction.
