DVD-ROM drive
At the heart of the player side of the G92 is a robust, high-speed,
slot-loading DVD-ROM drive – the best type of drive to use to
ensure accurate data recovery from all types of disc. The drive
normally operates at standard speed; however, it is capable of
recovering data a great deal faster when required, enabling it to
make more attempts to recover accurate data from a problem
disc. Because of this, the drive can perfectly recover the data from
almost any compatible disc. In addition, the drive has a special
on-board anti-vibration buffer and is especially robust for durability
and reliability in constant service.
Unlike other players that use a mechanical approach to attempt to
lower jitter by minimising drive vibration, the G92 employs a triple
buffering system to minimise jitter, maximizing HF transparency,
sound stage precision and stability. The result of this sophisticated
approach is that the player delivers ultra-low jitter, with sound and
picture quality second only to that of Meridian's 800 Reference
DVD/CD Player.
The digital electronics as a whole are driven by a new design of
high-stability clocking system which further reduces jitter and
ensures that the highest level of detail is recovered from a disc. All
digital data are accurately re-clocked, and multiple power supplies
ensure that digital and analogue circuitry are kept separate.
Radio tuner
Two tuner options are available: AM/FM and DAB/FM. The former
provides AM (LF/MF) and FM (VHF stereo Band II) reception with
RDS/RDBS, and is fitted with its own 96kHz, 24-bit A/D stage.
Digital signal processing provides a sophisticated FM stereo blend/
width control which allows you to minimise noise on a received
signal. There is also a DSP-based low-pass filter and a whistle filter
for improved AM reception. Alternatively, a version is available with
DAB Digital Radio (UHF L-Band and/or VHF Band III) and FM.
User interface
The G92 features a comprehensive front-panel user interface which
allows access to all the features of the unit. The player can be set
to a standard Type which configures all the required settings as
required for a particular application, stereo or surround. In addition,
an on-screen display (OSD) allows you to configure specific settings
individually.
The player employs Flash ROM memory for the operating system,
so software updates can be downloaded from the Internet and
installed via a PC connected to the serial port on the rear panel.
This port also allows full remote control and configuration of the
unit.
The output level of the system can be controlled remotely or via
the front-panel knob which controls a proprietary hybrid digital/
analogue volume control – a design similar to that used in the 800
Series and DSP 8000.
