1. Super Audio CD multi-channel playback
compatibility
In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs,
the DVD-2900 can play multi-channel Super Audio
CDs with a playback frequency range covering
100 kHz and a dynamic range of 120 dB or greater
within the audible frequency range, and a
maximum of 5.1 channels can be output.
2. High precision 24-bit D/A converter
The audio playback circuit includes an advanced
segment type D/A converter with the top technical
specifications in the business, manufactured by
Burr-Brown, a company with an established
reputation for D/A converters. This high performance
D/A converter allows not only input of the 24-bit/
192 kHz data of DVD-Audio discs, it also includes
an analog pure FIR filter for ideal DSD playback of
Super Audio CDs. Furthermore, the same DAC is
used unsparingly for the surround, center and LFE
channels to provide optimum sound quality during
multi-channel playback as well.
3. Dolby Digital (AC-3)/DTS decoder (NOTE 2)
The DVD-2900 is equipped with a built-in Dolby
Digital (AC-3) /DTS decoder, allowing you to recreate
the atmosphere of a movie theater or concert hall
when using the DVD-2900 in combination with an
AV amplifier and speakers.
4. Progressive Scan circuit “Pure Progressive™”
(NOTE 3)
The DVD-2900 is equipped with a high precision
Progressive Scan circuit “Pure Progressive™”
allowing it to reproduce movies and other images
on DVDs with a quality near that of the original.
5. 12-bit/108 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 4)
The DVD-2900 uses a video D/A converter that
conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 12
bits and allows 4X oversampling in the progressive
mode to achieve the high quality picture that DVDs
are meant to provide. In addition, NSV technology
reduces noise upon D/A conversion.
6. Thorough vibration-resistant design
(1) Mechanism using a hybrid loader.
(2) The pickup mechanism is positioned at the center
to reduce the effects of external vibrations.
(3) A heavyweight chassis and low center of gravity
make for a low vibration design.
