DVM-4800

5-Disc DVD Audio/Video Carousel Changer

Top-quality 5-Disc DVD Audio/Video Changer with AL24 Processing Plus and Progressive Scan

®

■

Carousel Changer System

In the DVM-4800’s carousel changer system, any of the other 4 discs
can be replaced while one of the discs is in play.

■

AL24 Processing Plus

The DVM-4800 uses Denon's newly-developed AL24 Processing Plus for
the L/R channel D/A converter section to support DVD-Audio's 24-bit, 192­kHz wide dynamic range format as well as stunningly smooth, clear playback
from conventional 16-bit CDs. This solid digital audio technology, inherited
from Denon's high-end pure audio separate components, ensures you are
treated to the best that both DVD-Audio and your existing CDs offer.

■

24-bit, 192-kHz D/A Converter for Optimum Sound Quality

With DVD-Audio, 2-channel playback gives you a maximum sound
resolution of 24 bits at 192 kHz, while dynamic 6-channel surround
playback is performed at a maximum of 24 bits at 96 kHz.
The DVM-4800 incorporates the latest, highest resolution Digital-to-Analog
Converters from Burr-Brown. These newly enhanced PCM-1704 DACs,
now support the maximum resolution 24-bit, 192-kHz 2-channel sound that
DVD-Audio can offer. For dynamic multi-channel playback, the DVM-4800
uses a suite of 24-bit, 96-kHz D/A converters that ensure you experience
the best of surround sound sources.

■

Audio Only Mode

The DVM-4800's Audio Only mode, operated by pressing a button on
the front panel, turns off the video circuitry so that high-frequency interference
from these sections does not disturb the purity of the DVD-Audio signal
and high-quality sound can be maintained.

■

Bass Management

When playing DVD-Audio programs, the DVM-4800's Bass Management
feature distributes all the low-frequency components contained in the Front
L/R, Center, and Surround L/R channels to the subwoofer for output to let
you enjoy an even more powerful, dynamic sound.

■

Progressive Scan

Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the
interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional
applications, as it can process around twice as much video data to produce
a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. High-definition video images
are faithfully displayed with optimum naturalness and beauty.

■

High-accuracy 12-bit, 54-MHz Video D/A Converter

The DVM-4800 is equipped with a 12-bit, 54-MHz video D/A converter
to convert with ease the huge volume of high-grade digital video data
into analog signals. This converter allows even the most delicate signals
to be faithfully reproduced into the clear, detailed pictures displayed with
Progressive Scan technology.

■

Super Sub Alias Filter

The DVM-4800 uses a Super Sub Alias Filter for the digital filter to optimize
picture quality. This filter achieves attenuation characteristics of -3 dB in
the ultra-high frequency band when the horizontal image is 6.25 MHz.
Even at 8.25 MHz, the apparent outer limit of DVD-Video, the attentuation
characteristic secured is above -60 dB, ensuring an ultra-high picture quality
with superior horizontal line resolution.

■

4 MB Buffer Memory

This unit is equipped with a 4 MB buffer memory to ensure that both picture
and sound are played without interruption when the DVD disc shifts
from layer 1 to layer 2, or in the rare event of a pickup dropout.

■

Brilliant Black

DVM-4800 can pass below black video via the video outputs for correct
monitor setup and optimum picture quality.

■

Aspect Ratio Function for Correct Image Displays

When you want to view video images with an aspect ratio of 4:3 on a
16:9 Progressive TV monitor, the DVM-4800's Aspect Ratio function
converts the images to the correct aspect ratio so that you can enjoy
high-quality Progressive output on your screen. This function also converts
16:9 images for output to 4:3 TV screens.

The DVM-4800 is endowed with many of the most advanced technologies currently available, providing you with the most
stunning and realistic experience in sight and sound. For sound, it is Denon's high-end AL24 Processing Plus, to bring out
the best of DVD-Audio, and for video it is Progressive Scan, to masterfully reproduce the high resolution picture quality of
DVD-Video. The DVM-4800's 5-disc carousel gives you extremely flexible Repeat and Program playback options, and the
Remote In/Out terminals let you easily connect and control another device.

■

Wide Selection of Playback Options

1) Program Play;

Program Play lets you play up to 32 tracks without interruption from any
or all of the CD or DVD-Audio discs that you have loaded. (Program
Play does not work with DVD-Video discs.)

2) Repeat Play;

A variety of Repeat Play functions are available for CD, DVD-Video,
and DVD-Audio discs. They are as follows:
For CD: Repeat Track, Repeat 1 Disc, Repeat All Discs, Repeat CD Discs
For DVD-Video: Repeat Chapter, Repeat Title, Repeat All Discs,
Repeat DVD-V Discs
For DVD-Audio: Repeat Track, Repeat Group, Repeat All Discs, Repeat
DVD-A Discs

3) Random Play;

Random Play is possible with CD and DVD-Audio discs, playing one
disc at a time. For example, if a CD is loaded in Tray 1 and a DVD-Audio
disc is in Tray 2 and Tray 2 is random selected first, Random Play plays all
the tracks of that disc at random. When it finishes Tray 2, it random plays
the disc in Tray 1. (Random Play does not work with DVD-Video discs.)

■

Fluorescent Display to Easily Distinguish Discs

With the DVM-4800, the display on the front
panel indicates whether a loaded disc is a CD or
a DVD so that you easily can monitor the kinds
of discs that are loaded.

■

HDCD Decoder

HDCD is a digital recording technology, compatible with the conventional
CD format, that significantly reduces distortion during recording to
expand the dynamic range and realize high resolution. The HDCD
decoder allows the DVM-4800 to play discs that have been recorded in

HDCD format and to bring out the superior sonic performance from
these discs. Combined with DENON's advanced audio technology, the
DVM-4800 masterfully reproduces HDCD's rich dynamic range and
beautiful sound quality.

■

Virtual Surround Sound

Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using
just one pair of speakers. The DVM-4800's Virtual Surround mode provides a
