FEATURES

The DVD-9000 is DENON’s top grade DVD audio-video player equipped with the latest in digital technology. This includes AL24 Processing Plus, a newly developed analog waveform reproduction technology with sights on next generation media, as well as a multi 24-bit D/A converter with 192 kHz sampling compatibility taking maximum advantage of the high quality offered by AL24 Processing Plus.

1. Newly developed AL24 Processing Plus

(1) AL24 Processing Plus, an advanced version of

conventional AL24 Processing, is a newly developed analog waveform reproduction technology, and offers compatibility with the high number of bits and high sampling rates of next generation media. 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.

(2) AL24 Processing Plus of course carries over Adaptive Line

Pattern Harmonized Algorithm & Automatic Low Pass Filter Harmonic Adjustment, the strong points of conventional ALPHA Processing. On the DVD-9000 these filters have been dramatically improved, resulting in a filtered band attenuation of over –115 dB and ripple within the passing band of ±0.00002 dB, a figure comparable to that of professional recorders.

2. High precision multi 24-bit D/A converter

(1) The DVD-9000 is equipped with a multi 24-bit D/A

converter for faithful D/A conversion of the high quality 24bit data achieved through AL24 Processing Plus. This further enhances such aspects of audio performance as the S/N ratio, dynamic range and distortion and makes full use of the possibilities for high quality sound provided by a high number of bits and high sampling rates.

(2) The multi 24-bit D/A converter is little affected by noise

resulting from fluctuations in the power supply voltage and current, and the quantization distortion level within the band is constant regardless of the frequency, resulting in clear sound with little noise.

3. 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 20-bit 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 HDCD-compatible discs, and DENON’s digital technology optimizes the high sound quality possibilities of HDCD technology. Furthermore, normal CDs, DVDs and HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified, and the optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used.

4. Dolby Digital (AC-3)/DTS decoder (NOTE 2) (NOTE 3)

The DVD-9000 is equipped with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) /DTS decoder, allowing you to recreate the atmosphere of a movie theater or concert hall when using the DVD-9000 in combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.

5. THX®Ultra Certification, the symbol of excellent high quality (NOTE 4)

The DVD-9000 meets THX®Ultra standards, a strict set of criteria advocated by Lucasfilm on the picture and sound quality of DVD players and their operability with connected equipment. This makes it possible to achieve the high quality pictures and sound.

6. Progressive Scan circuit “Pure Progressive

” (NOTE 5)

The DVD-9000 is equipped with a high precision Progressive Scan circuit “Pure Progressive

” allowing it to reproduce movies and other images on DVDs with a quality near that of the original.

7. 14-bit/108 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 6)

The DVD-9000 uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 14 bits and allows 4X 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) A large sintered alloy insulator absorbs vibrations from the

floor.

(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.

9. Digital input connectors

The DVD-9000 can be used as a D/A converter by connecting it to an external digital component using the digital connectors.

10. Multiple functions

(1) Picture CD playback function (NOTE 7)

Kodak Picture CDs can be played on the DVD-9000. Still images stored in JPEG format on CD-R/RWs can also be played.

(2) Multiple audio function

Selection of up to 8 audio languages. (The number of languages offered differs from DVD to DVD.)

(3) Multiple subtitle function

Selection of up to 32 subtitle languages. (The number of languages offered differs from DVD to DVD.)

(4) Multiple angle function

2 Connecting an optical fiber cable (commercially available) to the digital audio input connector (OPTICAL)

NOTE:

• Store the dust cap in a safe place, and be careful not to lose it. When not using the terminal, attach the cap to protect the terminal from dust.

Dust cap Line up in proper direction

Remove the dust cap, line up the cable in the proper directly, then insert it securely as far as it goes.

NOTES:

• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.

• 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 page 32) or make analog connections. (See page 14.)

• 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 page 32.)

(3) Connecting to a AV amplifier with a built-in decoder

When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream signals are output from the DVD player’s digital audio output connectors. If a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder is connected, you can achieve sound with the power and sense of presence of a movie theater or concert hall.

2 Sound output from the DVD-9000’s digital audio output connectors

In the case of bit stream output

*1 Only 48 kHz/16-bit sources are output. *2 Only 44.1 kHz/16-bit sources are output.

• 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 “OFF” is selected, digital signals are not output from the digital audio output at this time.

• 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.

• For multi-channel connections, set “AUDIO CHANNEL” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “MULTI CHANNEL” and make the “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION”, “CHANNEL LEVEL” and “DELAY TIME” settings.

• Set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “OFF”. (See page 32.) (If set to “ON”, analog audio signals converted to 48 kHz will be output for linear PCM or packed PCM sources.)

• When playing DVDs that are not copyright-protected and the unit is set to output digital and analog audio signals simultaneously, for some discs only the signals below 96 kHz for the front two channels will be output for the analog part. When playing DVDs that are not copyright-protected, set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” at “PURE DIRECT MODE” to “OFF”. (See page 54.)

• With the DVD-9000, we recommend turning the digital output off and only outputting analog signals in order to keep interference from the digital output circuitry to the minimum and allow you to enjoy high bit, high sampling frequency, high quality multi-channel sound.

✽ Set the “AUDIO SETUP” default setting as shown below. (See page 32.)

• “DIGITAL OUT” → “PCM” “LPCM SELECT” → “ON”

Playing DVDs with incorrect settings may result noise that could damage your ears or the speakers.
