DCDi technology

Features

Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier

RX-D411S features the JVC-exclusive Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier. Premium-grade parts and devices, and special internal construction assure you will enjoy superior sound.

DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, developed by Faroudja, eliminates jagged edges generated in progressive scanning conversion. With DCDi, you can enjoy clear and smooth video images on your display. For RX-D411S, this function is applied only when the PAL or NTSC analog video signals are transmitted to the receiver.

Compatible with HDMI*

The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the standard interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting the source components, this receiver, and TV with the HDMI cables, digital video signals and audio signals (including Dolby Digital, DTS) are transmitted through the cables. You can transmit digital video signal and audio signal without AD/DA conversion with easy connection. As RX-D411S supports up to HDMI version 1.1, this receiver can digitally receive 5.1-channel PCM with fs 96 kHz and 2channel PCM with fs 192 kHz. (These PCM signals are referred to as “multi-channel PCM” in this instructions.) You can enjoy digital sound without deterioration. In addition, this receiver is compatible with HDCP** (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and HDCP contents can be viewed if you connect an HDCP-compatible TV to this receiver.

* HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia

Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

** HDCP is the abbreviation of “High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection,” and is the high-reliable copy control technology licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC.

7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the highperformance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity memory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing 2-channel or multi-channel software.

Precise Surround Setup

Precise Surround Setup is a newly-developed JVC solution for quick, easy and systematic optimization of surround sound. By using Precise Surround Setup, you can enjoy the best possible surround performance. Precise Surround Setup measures the listening environment accurately with the dedicated earphone-type microphones and adjusts the speaker settings automatically.

CC (Compression Compensative) Converter

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs

44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.

K2 technology

K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion and creating original sound ambience with high precision.

Precautions
