Features

Equipped with an i.LINK port for digital transfers of high-quality media

By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable between components with i.LINK ports, you can get direct digital transfers of not only DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel audio such as Super Audio CD or DVDAudio, which previously could only be connected in analog with five audio cords, as well as 2-channel audio like conventional CDs (see page 55).

When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this unit with JFTScompatible components, you can play jitterfree audio.

An HDCP-compatible HDMI*1 terminal is provided to ensure the very highest picture and digital sound quality by fully digital transmission.

This unit comes with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) jack, an extended DVI interface for next-generation televisions. This interface allows transfers of uncompressed digital video and digital audio (audio streams like Dolby Digital and DTS as well as linear PCM) with a single connector. HDMI standard Ver. 1.1 compatibility means the unit can also transfer DVD-Audio multichannel audio over HDMI.

End-to-end full-digital transfers with alldigital processing make it possible to enjoy realistic video without any of the image degradation from AD/DA conversions. And with the inclusion of our newly developed, high-precision 10-bit scaler IC, the unit can up-convert 480p video signals to 720p, 10 8 0i, and 1080p video output signals by way of the scaling function and the HDMI jack (see page 52).

to let you enjoy beautiful video possible with DVD. Furthermore, NSV technology suppresses noise during DA conversion.

Support for 10-bit advanced progressive NTSC/PAL with newly developed chroma-error compensation.

Our newly developed chroma-error compensation completely eliminates the chroma error that occurs near perpendicular edges in color-difference signals.

dts 96kHz/24 bit compatibility

It is equipped with a dts 96/24 decoder that lets you enjoy dts audio with sound quality as high as 96kHz/24bit. This product does not support dts 88.2kHz/24bit.

Dolby Headphone compatibility

The Head Phone can reproduce the world of Dolby Surround with realistic ambience like that you would experience using a 5.1 ch system (Excluding Super Audio CD) (see

page 13).

Lip Sync capability

When it is connected to a plasma display or projector, it corrects the time lag between the video and audio created by the video circuit processing time in units of 10msec up to a maximum of 200msec. It precisely synchronizes the actors’ voices and the movements of their mouths (see page 31).

Equipped with a Super Audio CD Distance compensation function

It can perform Distance adjustment of Super Audio CD that was formerly impossible by converting it to PCM (see page 44).

Superlative audio performance with Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio, Dolby*

Digital and DTS*4 software

Logos:
