State-of-the-Art DVD Player for Superior A/V Entertainment and Future Expandability
The DVD-5000 is a reference-class DVD video player featuring DENON's latest digital technology known as AL24 Processing which produces the ultimate analog
waveform fidelity to suit next-generation media. In order for AL24 Processing to perform at its maximum potential,
the DVD-5000 also incorporates a 4-DAC 24-bit D/A converter section which supports up to 96 kHz sampling.
With the DENON DVD-5000, the audiophile becomes enveloped in a digital sound of an order they have never experienced before. The DVD-5000 is further equipped with
HDCD decoding that has been combined with DENON's digital technology to bring out the highest quality in sound that is possible with HDCD-encoded CDs.
■
Newly-developed AL24 Processing
AL24 Processing has inherited the technology of the original ALPHA
Processing that was used in DENON's highly-successful S1 series of
reference-class audio components. AL24 Processing further reduces
quantization distortion and represents the ultimate analog waveform
reproduction technology designed to support the higher numbers of
bits and higher sampling rate of next-generation media.
AL24 Processing senses the nature of the digital data being input and interpolates the data
so that it faithfully replicates the original analog waveform. AL24 Processing supports not only
16-bit digital data but also 18-, 20- and 24-bit data, as well as input data with a sampling frequency of up to 96 kHz.
■
Multiple 24-bit, 96-kHz D/A Converter
The DVD-5000 uses a 4-DAC
24-bit, 96-kHz Sampling
D/A Converter system in
order to D/A convert high-quality 24-bit data obtained from AL24
Processing with utmost fidelity. This design achieves a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 118 dB
and a dynamic range of 108 dB, to bring out the beautiful sound of high-bit, high-sampling
technology.
■
High-speed, Precision 10-bit, 27-MHz Video D/A Converter
The highly accurate video decoder processes the DVD video data (the component luminance
and color difference signals). In order to output this high-quality digital signal with its original
purity still preserved, the DVD-5000 employs a high-speed, high-precision 10-bit, 27-MHz video
D/A converter. This design improves the reproducibility of extremely minute details so that the
picture viewed on the screen is completely faithful to the original image in both its colors and
high resolution.
■
HDCD Decoder
HDCD represents encoding/decoding technology that drastically reduces
digital recording distortion while retaining compatibility with the existing CD
format. HDCD uses Peak Extension and Low-level Extension technology to
convert 24-bit data to the 16-bit data format of existing CDs without sacrificing the high quality of 24-bit sound. This technology prevents the sound
from becoming distorted during peak periods, and boosts the low-level signals to
improve the S/N ratio for a substantially richer dynamic range.
Since the DVD-5000 is equipped with an HDCD decoder, the Peak Extension
and Low-level Extension features are accessed and combined with
DENON's own 96-kHz, 24-bit 4-DAC system to realize the maximum potential of HDCD's remarkable sound quality.
The DVD-5000 also automatically senses the type of disc
that has been loaded: an ordinary CD, a DVD disc, or
an HDCD. The DVD-5000 then processes the signals based on the type of disc detected.
■
Independent D/A converter
The DVD-5000 can also be used as a
D/A converter. The front panel Source
switch directs the digital input signals coming in
through one of the two digital input terminals (optical
or coaxial) so that it passes through the unit's AL24
Processor and D/A converter for output as a clean, highly accurate
analog signal.
■
Color Component Video Output
The DVD-5000 is equipped with a color component signal video output capability
that faithfully outputs the analog signals resulting from direct and high-precision D/A conversion of the Y, Cb and Cr signals recorded on DVD. “S” and composite video outputs are also
provided (2 of each).
■
Vibration-resistant Construction
The DVD-5000 protects the DVD and the transport mechanism from unwanted vibrations using a centrally located holder with low center of gravity firmly secured with mechanism
brackets to the unit's highly rigid, copper-plated chassis. This
mechanism is further isolated from the digital, video, and
audio circuits which have each been mounted on their own
copper-plated board so that the circuits can be thoroughly protected from mutual interference
as well as vibrations. The overall chassis of the DVD-5000 is constructed of a 15mm thick aluminum front panel, a double-layered top cover, and a quadruple-layered bottom chassis
assembly. All these parts have been secured with vibration-absorbent sintered alloy insulators
to produce a construction that is totally protected from both internal and external vibrations.

Parts strictly selected for sound quality
Three separate transformers have been employed for the
audio, video, and control sections. Transformers spe-
cially constructed with vibration-resistant
materials are used in the audio and
video sections. In addition,
the same strictly-selected
parts whose performance has
proven to be reliable during
the development of DENON's
S1 series of audio components -- such as the removable ultra-
thick AC power cord; very low ESR electrolytic capacitors, film
capacitors and carbon resistors designed for high sound quality; and the
high speed operational amplifiers selected for highest sound quality.
■
High-performance Pickup and Digital Servo Technology
In order to read the maximum of 8.5 gigabytes of data that
can be recorded on one side of a DVD, the DVD-5000 uses a
self-excited oscillator type red laser with a wavelength of 650 nm
to ensure stable, low-noise performance. In addition, the pickup lens
used with this laser employs an integral molding hologram that enables
DVD and CD program sources to be read by the same pickup. As a
result, the DVD-5000 features the shortest possible signal paths, a simplified construction, and superior reliability.

Expanding to Input Signal Bit Length of 24 Bits
While the original ALPHA Processing system generated four lower bits of data for the 16-bit
input data to obtain data of 20-bit quality, the new AL24 Processing uses two calculating circuits in its lower data generation section to generate eight bits, to which the upper 16 bits of
data is then added, producing an output signal of 24-bit quality (Figure 1).
First of all, the data reproduced from a CD is input as is in its 16-bit staircase form to the
AL24 processor, as shown in waveform (a) of Fig. 2. The processor then extrudes the rate of
change in 1LSB, whether positive or negative, from the portions of waveform (a) where a change
in the data has occurred and produces waveform (b).
Next, the AL24 processor uses its lower-order bit data generator to produce data for the four
lower-order bits, 17-24, that should
normally exist below the 16 bits as
shown in waveform (c). The result is
waveform (d), where lower-order bit
data for each 1/16 LSB point of change
is generated.
Finally, the higher-order bits of waveform (a) are added to waveform (d),
producing the synthesized waveform
shown in waveform (e). This waveform
thus reflects the smooth 24-bit oversampled data that is reproduced with
superb audio clarity.
