About ODD (Offset Dual Differential) D/A System (KDC-X889/KDC-MP828)

The high quality sound play is to be done by ODD D/A System. Dual D/A converters are built-in the ODD D/A System, and the digital processing is isolated and controlled separately for front channel so the channel separation is improved sharply. Also, it produces the data in which the sound data is offset on the minus side and converts the two signals (original and offset data) to the analog signal, which has less noise and distortion, by the synthetic process.

However, ODD D/A System has no effect during the following conditions.

-When "2 ZONE" of <Audio Setup> (page 13) is "ON".

-When <Bypass Control> (page 17) is "Bypass".
