Features

High-end DVD player for playback of Audio DVDs and Video DVDs. The machine makes full use of the latest advances in DVD technology.

Extended K2 Processing Version 2.0

Extended K2 processing takes the music signal before any band limitation is presumed and the digital signal is expanded for the high bit and high sampling. Version 2.0 strengthens this frequency by as much as four times and is carried by the front two channels. 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are expanded and reformed as 24 bit 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz signals respectively. The means that the pla yback quality of the digital source is one le v el closer to the original master.

PEM • DD Converter with 192 kHz/24 bit Support

This model includes our recently developed PEM • DD conver ter that suppor ts the 192 kHz/24 bit signal that is top specification for Audio DVD voice format. The front two channels use separate D AC configur ations for the left and right channels. With a dynamic range of 112 dB, it achieves a high frequency distortion factor of less than 0.001 %. In addition, all channels use the same D/A converter which provides a jitter-free fine clock generator and the use of dedicated audio R core power transformer and other features deliver excellent sound quality.

Interference-free, Vibration-free, Resonance-free Construction

Each circuit is isolated to exclude mutual interference between the circuits, with each five block structure being independent. Analog related circuits are completely isolated from the sub-chassis with the digital elements such as the dedicated audio power transformer . Furthermore, the occurrence of unnecessary oscillation and outside influences are excluded by the 3.2 mm steel base plate and the solid aluminum casing. The air tightness of the unit has been dramatically improved with the use of an airtight disc tray to shut out exter nal vibration and option of completely turning off the video circuitry to achieve the maximum sound quality possible.

Usage Precautions

Installing the player

Install the player in a location where the temper ature is between 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F). If the pla yer is e xposed to a higher temperature, it may cause it to malfunction, or cause damage . In particular, avoid installing it in the f ollowing locations.

• Locations where it is exposed to direct sunlight

• Locations that become hot, such as on top of a receiver

If TV or radio reception deteriorates...

• Keep distance between the TV or radio and this player. If this player is installed near equipment that receives electromagnetic waves, it may effect reception.

Moving the Player

• If you move the pla yer from a cold location to a warm location, do not use the pla yer immediately after moving it. This is because condensation can form inside the player. If you allow the player to stand with the power on for a few hours, you can then use it normally.

• Always remove discs from the player before moving it. If you move the player while a disc is inside, the disc can become lodged inside the player and will be difficult to remove, and can also cause damage.

Do not insert warped or irregular shaped discs

• Do not insert cracked or warped discs into the player, or discs that have been repaired with adhesive, or heartshaped discs, octagonal discs, or other irregular shaped discs. These can cause damage.

Cleaning the exterior of the player

• To clean the cover and other exterior parts of the player, wipe them with soft, dry cloth. For persistent stains or dirt, wipe them with a cloth moistened with a mild detergent. Never use thinner, benzine, or other inflammable agents. This can cause cloudiness or discoloring of the exterior.

Connections

● The sound quality can be subtly effected depending on the material and construction of the connection cables and cords. Connection cables or cords are not supplied with this player. These must be purchased separately. We recommend that you compare several types and choose cables/cords best suited to your needs.

In order to use this model, it must be connected to a TV or monitor. * T o av oid repetition of the various procedures, the follo wing descriptions explain the procedures assuming a connection

to a TV. However, you can also connect the player to a monitor or projector instead of a TV.

Precautions to Observe When Setting Up the Connections

• Before connecting any cables, make sure that power to player itself and the other devices is switched off.

• Depending on the device used, the labels for the terminals may differ . Ref er to the manual provided with y our device when making connections.

• Make sure you insert all plugs firmly. A loose connection can cause noise or the loss of sound.

• Connect the video output from the player directly to a TV (or monitor). If the video output is connected via a video player, the picture quality during playback will deteriorate.

DVD Audio digital output

When recording the DVD Audio multi-channel digital output, the digital output is downmixed to two channels.

What is DTS (Digital Theater System)?

DTS is a new surround format that has better data compression to Dolby Digital that deliv ers superior quality surround playback of audio. It uses the same 5.1 channel that Dolby Digital uses, but due to lower audio compression during recording it produces audio with more depth and high S/N playback. It's wide dynamic range allows it to produce magnificent sound with excellent audio separation.

Bit Extension and Frequency/Band Expansion

The Extended K2 Processing V ersion 2.0 technology is a ne w process that performs bit extension and band e xpansion for the digital signal from CD and D VD discs to provide a sound quality that is closer to original sound. The process can be divided into three parts, Bit expansion, Frequency conversion, and Band expansion, with each enhancement applying supposition of the analog signal before conversion to a digital signal, and then quantization as a new high bit, high sampling digital signal. This allows it to conver t the audio from normal CD format or various DVD formats to a maximum output of 24 bits and the frequency band by a maximum of four times for a high quality, high bit, high sampling format.

How to Use the Extended K2 Processing Version 2.0, Function

Authoring

The process of encoding the source material, or the process of adding control information to the encoded data, or converting the data to DVD format.

Bit rate

The transfer rate.

Bit stream

The digital data generated by the various encoding processes.

Chapter

Each chapter within a title.

Color variation signal

A signal that removes the brightnes signal from the G/ B/R signals and represents the hue and density.

Component

A video format that takes three separate video inputs with information for the three primary colors of light to create the video signal. There are G/B/R, Y/PB/PR and other formats.

Composite

Encode

The process of encoding a signal to meet a standard.

Extended K2 Processing

20 bit K2 processing extends 16 bit signals to 20 bit to improve signal resolution, and also e xpands the sampling frequency by two to improv e the frequency band during playback. This allows better sound reproduction of the subtle nuances of the original for more realistic sound playback.

Version 2.0 fur ther expands this capability to 24 bit

176.4kHz/192kHz.

Geographical region playback control (Regional code)

One-sided disc

DVD discs that include signals that can only be read from one surface. There are single layer and dual layer one-sided discs.

Sampling frequency

The sampling frequency used when converting the analog signal to a digital signal. Expressed as a rate of times/second, it samples the analog signal and determines the digital signal value.

Squeezed video

A method of storing 16:9 video data that is uniformly shrunk (squeezed) to 4:3 video size.

When this is displayed on a TV or monitor the left and right are stretched so that is return to the original ratio.

Surround

An audio encoding system that produces realistic, theater-like sound to speakers placed around the listener .

S-Video format

A video signal that separates the brightness signal (Y) and color signal (C) of a traditional video signal. It produces an image with very little color blur .
