96 KHz, 24-bit Audio D/A Converter / 10-bit Video D/A Converter / Color Component Video Output
Combines State-of-the-Art Technologies to Bring You the Best in Home Entertainment
The DVD-2500 is a DVD video player in the affordable class yet lets you enjoy highly satisfying picture and sound quality. The video
D/A converter, responsible for the DVD-2500's high picture quality, employs the same 10-bit D/A converter found in high-end models.
This model is also equipped with a component video output capable of sending high-quality picture signals without modification to a
projector or TV monitor. The audio circuit features a 96 kHz, 24-bit D/A converter to support the highest specifications of the DVDVideo standard. High-quality sound, on a par with Pure Hi-Fi is also supported by the careful selection of capacitors and other parts
specially designed for superior sound performance. When combined with a DENON A/V receiver in the AVR series, the DVD-2500 lets
you enjoy your home theater entertainment to the full.

Parts for High Sound Quality
Parts such as the electrolytic capacitor and the film capacitor that are used in the audio circuit and the audio circuit's power supply unit have passed a stringent selection process to
ensure superior performance in producing high-quality sound.
■
DTS Digital Output
The DVD-2500 is equipped with dts Digital Output to support dts Audio, which is an
optional audio format for DVD video. You can play dts DVD or CD discs and enjoy dts Audio
when you connect an dts Decoder and a DENON A/V Receiver with 6-ch external input to the
DVD-2500.
■
10-bit Video D/AConverter
The 10-bit video D/A converter section reproduces video images more faithfully and in
greater detail than conventional 9-bit processing. This high-performance converter lets you
enjoy the best DVD picture possible, ideal with today's high performance video monitors and
large screen displays.
■
Color Component Video Output
The DVD-2500 provides color component video (Y, CB, CR) outputs that provide the best
reproduction of fine color detail with today's high end video monitors and large screen projectors that feature component video inputs.
This connection method provides the best video quality, compared to "S"-video and composite video connections.
■
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A simple press of the Display button on the remote control lets you see the current operating status of the DVD-2500 within an easy-to-read display on screen. The various operations
and settings are easily changed using the remote control while monitoring the screen display.
■
Advanced Digital Servo
High performance in reading pit information on the disc and in digitally processing that
information improves the quality of the picture and sound that are reproduced.
The DVD-2500 features a new servo DSP integrated circuit with a learning algorithm that has
been optimized for such fluctuating factors as readings from the disc and digital processing
to ensure further improved performance. Automatic adjustments by the servo preserve the
data integrity of the signals being reproduced.
■
Cinema Voice Mode
The Cinema Voice mode lets you raise the volume of just the dialog to adjust the balance
between it and the other components of the sound such as the background effects. When
you are watching a movie, for instance, this feature lets you hear the dialog more easily.
■
Picture Mode
In addition to the Normal mode, the Picture Mode function also provides Soft, Fine, and
Cinema modes. Soft mode produces a soft picture, Fine mode produces a picture of high
contrast emphasizing the curved lines, and Cinema mode gives you a picture quality well
suited to the atmosphere of movie viewing.
