1. Digital transfer connectors

The DVD-3910 can be connected to another digital transfer compatible DENON component (AV amplifier, etc.) using a single cable (included) for high quality digital sound with little transfer loss. (1) DENON Link terminal

This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only DVD video signals, but also multichannel audio signals of DVD audio.

(2) IEEE 1394 terminal

This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only DVD video signals, but also DVD audio signals, Super Audio CD signals and other multi-channel audio signals. 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.

(3) 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. 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.

(4) 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-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 front left and right channels but also for 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.

Copyrights

2 It is prohibited by law to reproduce, broadcast, rent

or play discs in public without the consent of the copyright holder.

For European For Oceanian model model

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 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.

6. Dolby Digital/DTS decoder (NOTES 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

” (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.

NOTES:

• Please use the included IEEE 1394 cable. When using a cable other than the included IEEE 1394 cable, please use a 4-pin IEEE 1394 cable with a length of 3.5 m or less for S400 or higher.

• The “IEEE 1394 audio signal (A&M protocol)” output from the DVD-3910’s IEEE 1394 connector not out video signals, please connecting to a TV or Monitor with “component video output” or “S-video output” or “Video output”. (See pages 6, 7.).

• The “IEEE 1394 audio signal (A&M protocol)” output from the DVD-3910’s IEEE 1394 connector can only be received on AV equipment equipped with an IEEE 1394 connector. Digital video (DV), personal computer, and i-Link (a Sony trademark) audio signals cannot be sent and received. Incorrect connections could lead to malfunction. Connect as instructed in the other device’s operating manual. Note that there is no guarantee of the operation of the connection even between devices supporting IEEE 1394. Whether or not data and control signals can be transmitted and received between devices supporting IEEE 1394 depends on the functions of the respective devices.

• When connecting using the IEEE 1394 connector, only connect one cord between the two devices. Never connect two cords between the two devices (loop connection). If this is done, the signal output from one device will return to the same device, resulting in malfunction.

• No audio signals are output from the DVD-3910’s analog connectors when IEEE 1394 is set. To use the analog connectors, set the IEEE 1394 setting to “Cancel (Off)”.

• When using the IEEE 1394 mode, the “HDMI AUDIO SETUP” under “DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” and the “AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”, “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)”, “SOURCE DIRECT” and “BASS ENHANCER” settings under “SETUP” – “AUDIO SETUP” cannot be made. The digital output cannot be turned off even by setting “PURE DIRECT SELECT” to “ALL OFF” or selecting a mode for which the digital output is set to off. (See page 26.)

• When the IEEE 1394 connector is connected, the DVD-3910’s speaker settings are disabled.

• During playback of a device supporting IEEE 1394, please do not disconnect the IEEE 1394 cable of the other device, do not connect a new device, and do not switch the power on or off. Doing so may interrupt the audio.

• Among the devices that support IEEE 1394, when the power is in the standby mode or off, some devices are not able to relay data. Please see the operation manual of the connected device that supports IEEE

1394. This unit is not able to relay the IEEE 1394 data while in the standby mode.

• Devices that support IEEE 1394 have the maximum data transfer speed supported by that device marked in the vicinity of the IEEE 1394 connector. The maximum transfer speed of IEEE 1394 is defined as approximately 100/200/400 Mbps*, with 200 Mbps items having S200 inscribed and 400 Mbps items having S400 inscribed. The maximum IEEE 1394 data transfer speed of this unit is 400 Mbps. The actual transfer speed may be slower than 400 Mbps when S100 or S200 devices are connected, or depending on the specifications of the device. Try to ensure that connections are made between devices that have the same maximum data transfer speed.

* Mbps (Mega bps) is an abbreviation of “Mega bits per second” and indicates the volume of data that can

be communicated in 1 second. At 400 Mbps, 400 Mega bits of data is transferred in 1 second.

✽ The DVD-3910’s IEEE 1394 mode is designed based on IEEE Std. 1394a-2000, Standard for a High

Performance Serial Bus.

✽ IEEE 1394 network

The following types of connections can be made between devices handling IEEE 1394 audio signals (A&M protocol):

q Daisy chain connections

Connect the sets in series using a single IEEE 1394 cord. Up to 15 sets can be connected.

w Tree (tower) connections

Connect the sets in parallel and in series using a single IEEE 1394 cord. Up to 63 sets can be connected.

To play back through an IEEE 1394 connection the audio of Super Audio CD or DVD (except for discs that may be copied freely), both the player and the amplifier are required to support a copyright protection system called DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). DTCP is copy protection technology comprising data encryption and the authentication of the remote device. This unit supports DTCP.

• 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-3910. To output multi-channel sound from the analog audio output connectors, set HDMI to OFF, or select “2CH”.

•

When selecting “MULTI (NORMAL)” or “MULTI (LPCM)”, the settings of “IEEE1394” and “DENON LINK” under “DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” of “SETUP” cannot be made. Neither can the settings of “AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”, “LCPM (44.1kHz/48kHz)”, “SOURCE DIRECT”, or “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 18, 19.)

• When selecting MULTI (NORMAL) or MULTI (LPCM), the DVD-3910 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-3910 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.

Use analog audio outputs, DENON LINK, or IEEE 1394 connectors to provide the audio output at “DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” unde “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 DVD3910 supports HDCP. Please see the user’s manual of your monitor (or AV amplifier) for information about this.
