FEATURES

1. Digital transfer connectors
The DVD-3910 can be connected to another digital
transfer compatible DENON component (AV
amplifier, etc.) using a single cable (included) for
high quality digital sound with little transfer loss.
(1) DENON Link terminal
This terminal can be used for digital transfer of
not only DVD video signals, but also multi-
channel audio signals of DVD audio.
(2) IEEE 1394 terminal
This terminal can be used for digital transfer of
not only DVD video signals, but also DVD
audio signals, Super Audio CD signals and
other multi-channel audio signals.
Digital transfer of video signals is possible by
connecting an HDCP compatible display
device equipped with one of the connectors
below using a special cable.
When playing DVD AUDIO with CPPM, the
video signal cannot be output, and then the
audio signal cannot be output from the HDMI
connector too.
(3) HDMI connector
Digital video signals are transferred in color
space (Y/Cb/Cr) or RGB.
The audio signals can be transferred
simultaneously, so both audio and video
signals can be transferred with a single cable.
Digital transfer of video signals is possible by
connecting an HDCP compatible display
device equipped with one of the connectors
below using a special cable.
(4) DVI-D connector
Digital video signals are transferred in RGB.
2. Super Audio CD multi-channel playback
compatibility
In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs,
the DVD-3910 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.
3. AL24 Processing Plus at all channel
AL24 Processing Plus compensates the input
digital data to reproduce the sound with analog
waveforms as close as possible to those existing
in nature and with 24-bit quality. The result is
increased musical reproduction capabilities of
reverberations, etc., at low levels, for a sound that
seems to draw you into the concert hall.
Equipped for not only the front left and right
channels but also for the surround left and right,
center and subwoofer channels.
4. High precision 24-bit D/A converter
The audio playback circuit includes an advanced
segment type D/A converter with the high
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 front, the surround, center and LFE
channels to provide optimum sound quality during
multi-channel playback as well.
5. HDCD ® (High Definition Compatible Digital ® )
decoder (NOTE 1)
HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that
greatly reduces the distortion occurring at the time
of digital recording while maintaining compatibility
with the conventional CD format. HDCD allows 24-
bit data to be converted into the 16-bit data of
current CDs with no loss in sound quality.
The use of this HDCD decoder makes it possible
to achieve the high resolution and low distortion
characteristic of HDCD when playing HDCD-
compatible discs, and DENON's digital technology
optimizes the high sound quality possibilities of
HDCD technology. Furthermore, normal CDs and
HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified,
and the optimum digital signal processing for that
type of disc is used.
6. Dolby Digital/DTS decoder (NOTES 2, 3)
The DVD-3910 is equipped with a built-in Dolby
Digital/DTS decoder, allowing you to recreate the
atmosphere of a movie theater or concert hall
when using the DVD-3910 in combination with an
AV amplifier and speakers.
7. Progressive Scan circuit "DCDi TM " (NOTE 4)
The DVD-3910 is equipped with a high precision
Progressive Scan circuit "DCDi™" allowing it to
reproduce movies and other images on DVDs with
a quality near that of the original.
8. Newly developed video processing circuit
The differences in brightness and color level
between adjacent picture elements in the
horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions are
detected to adjust the contours. The brightness
signal and color signal are processed separately,
resulting in natural, clear images.
9. 12-bit/216 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 5)
The DVD-3910 uses a video D/A converter that
conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 12
bits and allows 8X 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.
10.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.
