1FEATURES

1.Digital transfer connectors

Digital transfer of video signals is possible by connecting an HDCP compatible display device equipped with one of the connectors below using a special cable.

When playing DVD AUDIO with CPPM, the video signal cannot be output, and then the audio signal cannot be output from the HDMI connector too.

(1)HDMI connector

Digital video signals are transferred in color space (Y/Cb/Cr) or RGB.

The audio signals can be transferred simultaneously, so both audio and video signals can be transferred with a single cable.

(2)DVI-D connector

Digital video signals are transferred in RGB.

2.Super Audio CD multi-channel playback compatibility

In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs, the DVD2910/955 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.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 24bit/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.

6

4.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 16bit 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 HDCDcompatible CDs are automatically identified, and the optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used.

5.Dolby Digital/DTS decoder (NOTE 2, 3)

The DVD-2910/955 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 DVD2910/955 in combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.

6.Progressive Scan circuit “DCDiTM” (NOTE 4)

The DVD-2910/955 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.

7.12-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 5)

The DVD-2910/955 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.

8.Thorough vibration-resistant design

(1)The pickup mechanism is positioned at the center to reduce the effects of external vibrations.

(2)A low center of gravity make for a low vibration design.

9.Multiple functions

(1)Still picture playback function

Kodak Picture CD (NOTE 6) and Fujifilm Fujicolor CD (NOTE 7) can be played on the DVD-2910/955.

Still images stored in JPEG format on CD-R/RWs can also be played.

Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.

When playing copyright-protected linear PCM or packed PCM DVDs, in consideration of copyrights, no digital signals are output for sources exceeding 48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON” (See pages 34, 37.) or make analog connections. (See page 14.)

When making digital connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals, set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON”. (See pages 34, 37.)

With Super audio CDs, digital audio signals cannot be output from the digital out terminals. Use analog connections. (See page 14.)

Down-mixed to 2 channels for multi-channel PCM sources. (Only the front left and right channels are output for sources for which down-mixing is prohibited.)

When “DIGITAL OUT : OFF” is selected at the PURE DIRECT MODE, digital signals are not output from the digital audio output at this time.

Bitstream signals are signals that are compressed and converted into digital format. They are decoded into multi-channel audio signals (5.1-channels, etc.) by the decoder.

Linear PCM audio is the signal recording format used for music CDs.

While the signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit to 192 kHz/24 bit, providing higher sound quality than music CDs.

Packed PCM signals are high sound quality compressed PCM signals that are decompressed with virtually no loss of data.

6 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The DVD-2910/955 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-985).

(1) Inserting Batteries

q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.

wPlace two R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the direction indicated by the marks.

e Close the rear cover.

Cautions On Batteries

Use R6P/AA batteries 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.

The included battery is only for verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.

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

Approx. 7 meters

30°

30°

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.

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.
