HDMI
TRANSMITTER
Experience totally pure, untainted digital video and superior audio* from your digital discs. No tangle of cables needed — only the HDMI
interface. A single cable transfers digital audio and video data directly — without unnecessary digital-analogue conversions — from any disc to an HDMI-compliant display.
There’s no distortion, so the original content is accurately reproduced. It’s excellent for 5.1 surround sound and high-resolution digital audio, including the multi-channel
DVD-Audio format. When it comes to video, HDMI can support high definition digital video as well as standard NTSC or PAL.
ADVANCED DIGITAL VIDEO TRANSFER
Video reproduction is significantly advanced by Pioneer’s Video Quality Enhancer (VQE9) progressive processing. Since the video data is transferred entirely in the 10-bit
domain, all the delicate signal details remain intact. The quality of the image is optimised, faithful to the original.
The DV-989AVi is also equipped with a Two-Dimensional Resolution Expander Video Scaler (part of Pioneer’s exclusive Digital Direct Pixel Drive**), which upgrades the
image — changing the resolution and aspect ratio — to match the high definition capabilities of your display. You can be sure of the most accurate portrayal of high definition
images: the best picture quality possible.
* Digital audio on HDMI compatible with 44.1/48 kHz, 16/20/24-bit, 2-ch/2-ch downmix LPCM or bitstream output (Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG).
** ‘Digital Direct Pixel Drive’ is a trademark of Pioneer Corporation.
Note: 1) To connect a DVI/HDCP compatible device to the HDMI connector, a conversion cable or adaptor is necessary. Please note that DVI does not feature audio transfer.
2) These units have been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) version 1.1. Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection
may result in unreliable signal transfers.
HDMI (HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE) (DV-989AVi)
Since the high-density data recorded on DVD must be read
with absolute accuracy, vibrations will adversely affect sound
and picture quality.
The DV-989AVi’s sturdy, innovative design solves this
problem: the advanced triple-layered chassis and thick steel
stabilising plate keep all driving devices immobile. This
effectively absorbs unwanted vibrations from the unit itself as well as from the outside to
ensure steady operation and uncompromisingly superior reproduction of image and audio.
THOROUGH VIBRATION-RESISTANT DESIGN
(DV-989AVi)
Clean and pure sound is now an option you control. The DV-989AVi comes with a button for Pure Audio. Press it to cut out all unused video processing and
digital audio circuitry, minimising the level of noise in the audio signal, to bring you clean and undistorted sound. Listening to hybrid SACD discs? The SACD
Set-up button lets you switch directly between SACD, 2-channel audio, multi-channel audio, and CD.
