ENGLISH
1. Newly developed high performance 10 bit I/P converter
performing all processing with a precision of 10 bits
A high precision film/video source detection function not only
makes the DVD-5910 compatible with 30 frame film sources,
but also achieves high quality images with smooth, natural
pictures and little jaggy noise even when playing images that
presented problems during editing. In addition, a large number
of picture quality adjustment functions, including noise
reduction and digital gamma correction, enables output of not
only progressive but also HDMI/DVI signals, so fine
adjustments can be made according to the display you are
using.
2. Newly developed 10-bit scaler for high definition pixel
conversion
The DVD-5910 is equipped with a newly developed scaler that
uses an original algorithm to conduct pixel conversion of the
video output signals which have been given optimum
progressive processing with the I/P converter into higher
definition 720P or 1080i signals with 10-bit precision. This in
conjunction with the high performance 10-bit I/P converter
makes for effective high picture quality playback, and enables
output for digital signals via the HDMI/DVI connectors without
reduction in picture quality due to analog conversion.
In addition, the signals are optimized for output to the
independent HDMI and DVI transmitters, so two digital video
signals can be output at the same time.
3. DPI (DENON Pixel Image) correction function for more
natural outline correction
DENON has developed an outline correction circuit using a
new algorithm that samples the image data of pixels adjacent
to the perceived pixels and processes them. The image is
detected and processed in units of pixels in the vertical,
horizontal and diagonal directions, thereby generating more
natural outlines.
In addition, other processing is performed in ways optimum for
the images, for example brightness signals and color signals
are processed with independent algorithms, ringing that tends
to occur when images are enhanced is restrained, etc.,
thereby achieving more natural images with no reduction in
picture quality.
4. 14-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 1)
The DVD-5910 uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A
conversion of all video signals at 14 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.
5. HDMI/DVI digital video interface (NOTE 2)
HDMI Ver. 1.1 enables digital transfer of the video and audio
signals of DVD audio discs that are copyright-protected by
CPPM, something that was not possible with HDMI Ver. 1.0.
The DVD-5910 is HDMI Ver. 1.1 compatible.
(1) HDMI connector
Digital video signals are transferred in 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.
6. Advanced AL24 Processing
“Advanced AL24 Processing” which greatly increases the
amount of information in the time axis area using unique high
speed signal detection and processing technology for the PCM
signal (CD/DVD) playback circuitry is provided for 2-channel
output. In addition to expansion of data to 24 bits, natural
signal correction without marring the original data is performed
with upconversion sampling.
In addition, DENON’s original analog waveform reproduction
technology, “AL24 Processing PLUS”, is used for the 5.1channel audio output, resulting in high sound quality for all
PCM signal sources.
7. 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, for mixed left and right channel signals, this D/A
converter is used for independent monaural modes for both
the left and right channels, a true luxury enabling playback of
even high quality signals.
8. DENON LINK/IEEE1394 digital audio transfer connectors
(1) DENON LINK terminal
This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only
a DVD's audio signals, but also DVD-A audio multi-channel
signals, and Super Audio CD Signals (Denon Link version 3).
(2) IEEE 1394 terminal
This terminal can be used for digital transfer of not only a
DVD's audio signals, but also DVD-A audio signals, Super
Audio CD signals and other multi-channel audio signals.
9. THX® Ultra Certification, the symbol of excellent high
quality (NOTE 3)
The DVD-5910 meets THX® Ultra standards, a strict set of
criteria advocated by Lucasfilm on the picture and sound
quality of DVD video players and their operability with
connected equipment. This makes it possible to achieve the
high quality pictures and sound.
10. Super Audio CD multi-channel playback compatibility
In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs, the DVD5910 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.

ENGLISH ENGLISH
11. HDCD®(High Definition Compatible Digital®) decoder
(NOTE 4)
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 16-bit data of current CDs with no loss in
sound quality.
12. Dolby Digital/DTS decoder (NOTE 5, 6)
The DVD-5910 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-5910 in
combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.
13. 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.
(4) The six blocks (mechanism + control unit, audio unit, video
unit, digital interface unit, analog power unit and digital
power unit) are structurally isolated, in a design that
eliminates mutual interference.
14. Multiple functions
(1) Still picture playback function

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS
Discs
Only the discs including the marks shown on page 9 can be
played on the DVD-5910.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart-shaped discs,
hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played on the DVD-5910. Do not
attempt to play such discs, as they may damage the player.
Cautions on Handling Discs
• Do not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.
• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when removing them
from their cases.
• Do not bend discs.
• Do not heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the center hole.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball-point 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.
Holding Discs
Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and unloading
them.
Cleaning Discs
2
Fingerprints or dirt on the disc may lower sound and picture
quality or cause breaks in playback. Wipe off fingerprints or dirt.
2
Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to
wipe off fingerprints or dirt.
Be careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
surface (the side which
shines in rainbow colors).
Wipe gently from the middle
outwards.
Do not wipe with a circular
motion.
NOTE:
• Do not use record spray or antistatic. Also do not use
volatile chemicals such as benzene or thinner.

2 Sound output from the DVD-5910’s digital audio output connectors
[ In the case of bitstream output ]
*1 Only 48 kHz/16 bit sources are output.
*2 Only 44.1 kHz/16 bit sources are output.
*3 44.1 kHz/16-bit PCM signals are output during CD layer playback.
• 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 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 40, 43) or make analog connections. (See page 15.)
• 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 40, 43.)
•With Super audio CDs, digital audio signals cannot be output from the digital out terminals. Use analog or IEEE1394 connections. (See
pages 15, 18, 19.)
• When “DIGITAL OUTPUT : 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-channel, 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.

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-5910’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 11, 12.)
•
The “IEEE 1394 audio signal (A&M protocol)” output from the DVD-5910’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-5910’s analog audio connectors, digital audio connectors, DENON LINK and HDMI
connector when IEEE 1394 is set.
To use these connectors, set the IEEE 1394 setting to “OFF”.
•
When the IEEE 1394 connector is connected, the DVD-5910’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.
A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of and other sources, and the multi-channel sound of DVD video and DVD audio.
The DVD-5910 is compatible with High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Specification Version 1.1. (The multi-channel audio signals

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
2 The DVD-5910 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-993).
(1) Inserting Batteries
q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
w Place three 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
• 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.
