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 DVD-2910 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 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.

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 24­bit 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 HDCD­compatible 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.

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 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.

• Do not heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the center hole.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball­point pen or a pencil.

• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc is
moved suddenly from a cold place to a warm one. Do
not use a hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Always eject discs after playing them.

• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches and warping.

• Do not put discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods

of time

2. Humid or dusty places

3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on top
of another may result in damage or scratch the discs.

• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without
using an adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded, it
may slip out of the guide and block the disc tray.

• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when
the disc tray is closing.

• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.

• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that
have been fixed with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of
cellophane tape or glue used to attach the label is
exposed, or discs with traces of tape or labels that
have been peeled off. Such discs may get stuck
inside the player, resulting in damage.

• 2CH ..........................Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from

an analog audio output connector.

HDMI-supported monitor/AV amplifier, etc. (Supports DTS and Dolby Digital decoders)

• MULTI (NORMAL) ...Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from
an HDMI connector and you wish to have a DTS, Dolby Digital, or other decoder
connected to do the processing. (Speaker and other settings are not required.)

HDMI-supported monitor (Supports audio input for 2 or more channels)

• MULTI (LPCM) .........Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel output from an

HDMI connector and the connection point does not support a DTS, Dolby Digital, or
other decoder. (Speaker settings are permitted.)

NOTES:

• HDMI audio output settings permit the selection

of either 2 channels or multi-channels. A down­mixed audio signal is only output from the analog
connectors (Left/Right and Front Left/Front
Right) of the DVD-2910. To output multi-channel
sound from the analog audio output connectors,
set HDMI to OFF, or select “2CH”.

•When the HDMI audio setting is set to multi-

channel, the “AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL
OUTPUT”, “LPCM (44.1kHz/48kHz)”, “SOURCE
DIRECT” and “BASS ENHANCER” under
“AUDIO SETUP”.

• The HDMI video and audio output are both

turned off if the video output is set to “OFF” or
if “ALL OFF” is set. Also note that it will not be
possible to select the setting of digital output
when selecting “MULTI (NORMAL)” at “HDMI
AUDIO SETUP”. (See Pages 17, 18.)

• When selecting MULTI (NORMAL) or MULTI
(LPCM), the DVD-2910 speaker settings under
“AUDIO SETUP”become invalid.

•

When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI
connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond
the CD layer. Make an analog connection for this.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some
devices can control other devices via the HDMI
connector; however, the DVD-2910 cannot be
controlled by another device vice the HDMI
connector.

• When using display equipment that is not
supported by the HDCP (content protection
function), the image will not be output properly.
(See the compatibility table.)

•

The audio signals from the HDMI connector
(including the sampling frequency and bit length)
may be limited by the equipment that is connected.

A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High­Definition Multimedia Interface) connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD video and other
sources, DVD video, and the multi-channel sound of DVD audio.

(9) DVI connections

Connection with equipment that has a DVI (Digital Visual Interface)-D connector permits the transfer of digital
images.
✽ When using display equipment that is not supported by the HDCP (content protection function), the image

will not be output properly. (See the compatibility table.)

✽ Make an audio connection also because an audio signal will not be output from the DVI-D connector.
✽ Commercially-available DVI cables are available in 24-pin and 29-pin types. The DVD-2910 supports the 24-pin

DVI-D cable, but the 29-pin DVI cable cannot be connected.

*1 Among the monitors that support HDMI, some

do not support audio output (for example,
projectors). In connections with equipment such
as this, audio signals are not output from the
HDMI output connector. Use analog audio
outputs connectors to provide the audio output at
“DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” under “SETUP”,
set “HDMI AUDIO SETUP” to “2CH”.

*2 When the set’s HDMI connector is connected to

a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible)
with an HDMI-DVI converter cable (commercially
available), the signals are output in digital RGB,
regardless of the “HDMI/DVI SELECT” setting.

To play the digital images and sounds of DVD video or DVD audio via an HDMI/DVI-D connection, it
is necessary that both the player and monitor (or AV amplifier) support a copyright protection
system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection
technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the partner equipment. The DVD­2910 supports HDCP. Please see the user’s manual of your monitor (or AV amplifier) for information
about this.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The DVD-2910 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.

w Place 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

• 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.

bitstream signals are output from the digital audio output
terminals. When playing DVDs recorded in linear PCM or
packed PCM, linear PCM signals are output.

Select “NORMAL” when making digital connections to
an AV amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital and DTS
decoder.

PCM

When playing Dolby Digital/DTS bitstream signals or
DVDs recorded in linear PCM or packed PCM, the signals
are converted into 48 kHz/16-bit PCM (2-channel) signals
and output from the digital outputs. When playing DVDs
recorded in PCM, linear PCM signals are output.

e When “LPCM (44.1 kHz/ 48 kHz)” is selected:

OFF (Factory default)

When playing linear PCM or packed PCM DVDs that are
not copyright-protected, for 2-channel PCM audio signals
up to 96 kHz, linear PCM signals are output as such
without being converted from the digital outputs. (176.2
kHz and 192 kHz signals are converted to 88.2 kHz and
96 kHz, respectively.)
For DVDs containing multi-channel PCM signals, the
digital signals are down-mixed for output into two
channels, front left and right. (Only the front left and right
channels are output for sources for which down-mixing is
prohibited.)
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 to “ON” or make
analog connections. (See page 9.)

ON

Linear PCM and packed PCM signals are converted to

44.1 kHz or 48 kHz and output. (The PCM digital audio
output signals are converted to 48 kHz or less in
consideration of copyrights.) When making digital
connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible
with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals, set to “ON”.

set when playing back a 6-channel source of DVD audio
that has been recorded with all channels and full
bandwidth. When set to “OFF”, the speaker size will be
set to “Large” for all speakers and the sub woofer will
be set to “Yes”. When playing back software such as
