In order for AL24 Processing to perform at its maximum potential, the DVD-5000 also incorporates a 4-DAC 24-bit D/A converter section which supports up to 96 kHz sampling. With the Denon DVD-5000, the audiophile becomes enveloped in a digital sound of an order they have never experienced before. The DVD-5000 is further equipped with HDCD decoding that has been combined with Denon’s digital technology to bring out the highest quality in sound that is possible with HDCD-encoded CDs. The DVD-5000 passes the strict THX Ultra specifications by Lucasfilm Inc., that have been established for best possible picture quality, audiophile sound quality and ease of operation. n Newly-developed AL24 Processing AL24 Processing has inherited the technology of the original ALPHA Processing that was used in Denon’s highly-successful S1 series of ref erence-class audio components. AL24 Processing further reduces quan tization distortion and represents the ultimate analog waveform repro duction technology designed to support the higher numbers of bits and higher sampling rate of next-generation media. AL24 Processing senses the nature of the digital data being input and interpolates the data so that it faithfully replicates the original analog waveform. AL24 Processing supports not only 16-bit digital data, but also 18-, 20- and 24-bit data, as well as input data with a sampling frequency of up to 96 kHz. n Multiple 24-bit, 96 kHz D/A Converter The DVD-5000 uses a 4-DAC 24-bit, 96 kHz sampling D/A converter system in order to convert high-quality 24-bit data obtained from AL24 processing with utmost fidelity. This design achieves a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 118 dB and a dynamic range of 108 dB to bring out the beautiful sound of high-bit, high-sampling technology. n THX Ultra Certified Lucasfilm, Inc. has unveiled the new THX Ultra standards for DVD players in order to recreate the exciting realism of the movie theater in one’s own home. The DVD-5000 DVD player from Denon has passed those stringent standards, and is now being offered to home theater enthusiasts throughout the world. The THX Ultra standards comprise three basic categories of tests: Audio Quality, Video Quality and User Interface. These tests ensure that the DVD player is fully capable of bringing the best visu al and sonic quality out of your favorite DVD programs. n High-speed, Precision 10-bit, 27 MHz Video D/A Converter The highly accurate video decoder processes the DVD video data (the component luminance and color difference signals). In order to output this high-quality digital signal with its original purity still preserved, the DVD-5000 employs a high-speed, high-precision 10-bit, 27 MHz video D/A converter. This design improves the reproducibility of extremely minute details so that the picture viewed on the screen is completely faithful to the original image in both its colors and high resolution. n HDCD Decoder HDCD technology represents encoding and decoding that drastically reduces digital recording distortion while retaining compatibility with the existing CD format. HDCD uses Peak Extension and Low-level Extension technology to convert 24-bit data to the 16-bit data format of existing CDs without sacrificing the high quality of 24-bit sound. This technology prevents the sound from becoming distorted during peak periods, and boosts the low-level signals to improve the S/N ratio for a substantially richer dynamic range. Since the DVD-5000 is equipped with an HDCD decoder, the Peak Extension and Low-level Extension features are accessed and combined with Denon’s own 96 kHz, 24-bit 4-DAC The DVD-5000 can also be used as a D/A converter. The front panel Source switch directs the digital input signals coming in through one of the two digital input terminals (optical or coaxial) so that it passes through the unit’s AL24 Processor and D/A converter for output as a clean, n Easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) n Parts Strictly Selected for Sound Quality Three sepa- rate transform ers have been employed for the audio, video, and control sections. Transformers specially constructed with vibration- resistant materials are used in the audio and video sections. In addition, the same strictly-selected parts whose performance has proven to be reliable during the development of Denon’s S1 series of audio components -- such as the removable ultra-thick AC power cord; very low ESR electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors and carbon resistors designed for high sound quality; and the high speed operational amplifiers selected for highest sound quality -- have gone into the DVD-5000. n High-performance Pickup and Digital Servo Technology In order to read the maximum 8.5 gigabytes of data that can be record ed on one side of a DVD, the DVD-5000 uses a self-excited oscillator type red laser with a wavelength of 650nm to ensure stable, low-noise perfor- mance. In addition, the pickup lens used with this laser employs an integral molding hologram that enables DV...
