1. Digital transfer connectors

The DVD-A11 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.

2. Super Audio CD multi-channel playback
compatibility

In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs,
the DVD-A11 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 top
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 surround, center and LFE channels to
provide optimum sound quality during multi­channel 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 24-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 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 (AC-3)/DTS decoder (NOTES 2, 3)

The DVD-A11 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-A11 in
combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.

7. Progressive Scan circuit “DCDi

TM

” (NOTE 4)

The DVD-A11 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. 12-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 5)

The DVD-A11 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.

9. 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.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS

Discs

Only the discs including the marks shown on page 5
can be played on the DVD-A11.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart­shaped discs, hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played
on the DVD-A11. Do not attempt to play such discs,
as they may damage the player.

Holding Discs

Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and
unloading them.

Be careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
surface (the side which

2 DENON LINK Second Edition:

• With the DENON LINK, Second Edition (2nd), the audio signals are transferred from the DVD player to the
AV amplifier in digital form, with the same quality as the signals recorded on the disc.

Digital transfer of the high quality multi-channel signals of DVD audio is possible for all discs. (A Second
Edition compatible DVD player and AV amplifier are required for this.)

2 Compatibility with previous models:

• With Second Edition, the format of the signals handled differs from that of the previous version of
DENON LINK.

Thus, digital audio signals output from a DENON LINK S.E. compatible DVD player can only be played
on a DENON LINK S.E. compatible AV amplifier (Playback with DENON LINK connections is not
possible when using a DENON LINK S.E. compatible DVD player in combination with an AV amplifier
that is not S.E. compatible.).

• If the DENON LINK connector on your AV amplifier is not S.E. compatible, please consult your authorized
DENON dealer.

•“S.E.” is indicated on the rear panel’s DENON LINK connector on DENON LINK S.E. compatible products.

2 DENON LINK S.E. settings:

• At “AUDIO SETUP” under “Default Settings”, set “DENON LINK” to “2nd”. (See pages 19 to 21.)

• If you connect the DENON LINK, set to “2nd”.

NOTES:

• When DENON LINK is set, the down-mixed audio signals are output from the only left and right terminals.
To use the analog terminals, cancel the DENON LINK setting (set to “OFF”).

•“AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”, “LPCM (44.1kHz/48kHz)”, “IEEE1394”, “SOURCE DIRECT”
and “BASS ENHANCER” cannot be set at “AUDIO SETUP” under “Default Settings” when using the
DENON LINK connector.
The “PURE DIRECT” “DIGITAL OFF” and “ALL OFF” settings cannot be made either. (See pages 26,

27.)

• The DVD-A11’s speaker settings are invalidated when the DENON LINK connector is connected.

• When the DENON LINK 2nd connection, Super Audio CD’s signals are not output from the DENON LINK

connector. Please use the analog audio output terminals.

(9) IEEE 1394 connections

The simple connection of one IEEE 1394 cable permits high quality digital transfer of the following between
devices having IEEE 1394 connectors: the audio of DVD video, DVD audio that up until now could only be
connected by 5-conductor audio cable in an analog connection, or Super Audio CD and other multi-channel
audio. (unless DENON LINK connections)
(IEEE 1394 is an international standard established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
of the U.S.)

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-A11’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-A11’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-A11’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 “AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”, “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48
kHz)”, “SOURCE DIRECT” and “BASS ENHANCER” settings under “SETUP” – “AUDIO SETUP” cannot
be made.
The “PURE DIRECT” “DIGITAL OFF” and “ALL OFF” settings cannot be made either. (See pages 26,

27.)

• When the IEEE 1394 connector is connected, the DVD-A11’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-A11’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.

Copyright Protection System

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. Please see the operation manual of your
amplifier for information about your amplifier.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The DVD-A11 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-962).

(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

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.

PLAYING BACK WMA

2 Listening to WMA (Windows Media Audio) CD-R/CD-RW

• This unit can play CD-R/RW music files that have been recorded in the WMA (Windows Media Audio)* audio
compression format.

✽ WMA (Windows Media Audio): New audio coding of Microsoft Corporation.
✽ Uses of recordings you have made other than for your personal enjoyment are not permitted under

the Copyright Law without permission of the copyright holder.

Windows Media and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of
Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

• The method of playback is the same as “Listening to Recorded MP3 CD/CD-R/CD-RW” on Pages 32 and 33.

• In the file display of the disc information screen, WMA files will be displayed with the “WMA” icon instead

of the “MP3” icon. (Files for which the “WMA” icon is not displayed cannot be played. There will be a skip
and the next file with an icon will be played.)

NOTES:

• Files recorded with a sampling frequency (fs) of 44.1, and 48 kHz are supported.

• Programmed playback cannot be performed with WMA discs.

• The digital output at the time of WMA file playback is converted to PCM regardless of the initial settings.

• Please use discs that have been recorded in conformity with the ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 CD-ROM file

system. (Extended formats are excluded.)

• Copyright protected files cannot be played. Also note that depending on the writing software and
conditions, playback might not be possible, or the files might not be displayed properly.

• Playback of the CD-R/RW might not be possible depending on the disc characteristics, soiling, scratches,
and other factors.

• Bit rates of 64 k to 160 kbps are supported for WMA files that have an extension of “.wma” or “.WMA”.

• This unit can display the folder names and file names on the screen. Up to 11 half-width alphanumeric

upper case characters and symbols (including the underscore symbol) can be displayed. Kanji, hiragana,
katakana and other characters cannot be displayed.

• While in the stop condition, the DISPLAY button of the remote control can be used to switch and display
the title names and the artist names. (One folder has a capacity of up to 99 files.)

• Recorded discs with no more than 99 files per folder are recommended. Multiple folder configurations are
possible; however, depending on the configuration, recognition and playback of all the folders and files
might not be possible.

• Multi-session discs and CD-R/RW that have not been finalized can also be played back; however, playback
of discs that have had session closure within 10 sessions or have been finalized is recommended.

• Direct track selection using the remote control numerical keys (0 to 9, and +10) can specify up to 179
tracks (179 files) per folder. When 179 tracks are exceeded, while the unit is stopped, use the cursor
buttons at the disc information screen to select the files, and use the play button or the ENTER button to
play.

MP3 PLAYBACK

2 There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3 format can be

downloaded. Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played on
the DVD-A11.

If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using an
MP3 encoder (conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of the
original data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto the one CD­R/RW disc. The one CD-R/RW disc can contain over 100 tracks.

✽

Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a
CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.

✽

Uses of recordings you have made other than for your personal enjoyment are not permitted under
the Copyright Law without permission of the copyright holder.

NOTES:

• The DVD-A11 is compatible with the “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3” standards (sampling frequency of 44.1 or
48 kHz). It is not compatible with such other standards as “MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio
Layer 3”, MP1, MP2, etc.

• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.

• The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3 signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether

the audio output presetting is set to “normal” or “PCM”. The signals are output with the same sampling
frequency as that of the music source.

• In general, the higher an MP3 file’s bit rate, the better the sound quality. On the DVD-A11, we recommend
using MP3 files recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.

• MP3 files may not be played in the expected order, since the writing software may change the position of
the folders and the order of the files when writing them on the CD-R/RW.

• Programmed playback is not possible with MP3 discs.

• When writing MP3 files on CD-R/RW discs, select “ISO9660 level 1” as the writing software format. This

may not be possible with some types of writing software. For details, refer to the writing software’s usage
instructions.

• The number of files playable with the DVD-A11 is approximately 600 or less.

• With the DVD-A11 it is possible to display folder names and file names on the screen like titles. The DVD-
A11 can display up to 8 characters, consisting of numbers, capital letters, and the “_” (underscore) mark.

• If recorded in a format other than “ISO9660 level 1”, normal display and playback may not be possible. In

addition, folder and file names including other symbols will not be displayed properly.

• Be sure to add the extension “.MP3” to MP3 files. Files cannot be played if they have any extension other
than “.MP3” or if they have no extension. (with Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by adding
the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting of up to 8 capital or numbers and recording the files
on the CD-R/RW.)

• Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the signal side of CD-R/RW discs. If adhesive
gets on the surface of a disc, the disc may get stuck inside the DVD-A11 and be impossible to eject.

• The DVD-A11 is not compatible with packet write software.

• The DVD-A11 is not compatible with ID3-Tag.

• The DVD-A11 is not compatible with play lists.

• The DVD-A11 is not compatible with MP3 PRO.

• Do not play CD-R/RW discs containing any files other than music CD files (in CDDA format), WMA, MP3

and JPEG files. Doing so may result in malfunction or damage, depending on the type of file.
