5-Disc DVD Audio/Video Carousel Changer
Top-quality 5-Disc DVD Audio/Video Changer with AL24 Processing Plus and Progressive Scan
®
■ Carousel Changer System
In the DVM-4800’s carousel changer system, any of the other 4 discs
can be replaced while one of the discs is in play.
■ AL24 Processing Plus
The DVM-4800 uses Denon's newly-developed AL24 Processing Plus for
the L/R channel D/A converter section to support DVD-Audio's 24-bit, 192-
kHz wide dynamic range format as well as stunningly smooth, clear playback
from conventional 16-bit CDs. This solid digital audio technology, inherited
from Denon's high-end pure audio separate components, ensures you are
treated to the best that both DVD-Audio and your existing CDs offer.
■ 24-bit, 192-kHz D/A Converter for Optimum Sound Quality
With DVD-Audio, 2-channel playback gives you a maximum sound
resolution of 24 bits at 192 kHz, while dynamic 6-channel surround
playback is performed at a maximum of 24 bits at 96 kHz.
The DVM-4800 incorporates the latest, highest resolution Digital-to-Analog
Converters from Burr-Brown. These newly enhanced PCM-1704 DACs,
now support the maximum resolution 24-bit, 192-kHz 2-channel sound that
DVD-Audio can offer. For dynamic multi-channel playback, the DVM-4800
uses a suite of 24-bit, 96-kHz D/A converters that ensure you experience
the best of surround sound sources.
■ Audio Only Mode
The DVM-4800's Audio Only mode, operated by pressing a button on
the front panel, turns off the video circuitry so that high-frequency interference
from these sections does not disturb the purity of the DVD-Audio signal
and high-quality sound can be maintained.
■ Bass Management
When playing DVD-Audio programs, the DVM-4800's Bass Management
feature distributes all the low-frequency components contained in the Front
L/R, Center, and Surround L/R channels to the subwoofer for output to let
you enjoy an even more powerful, dynamic sound.
■ Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the
interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional
applications, as it can process around twice as much video data to produce
a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. High-definition video images
are faithfully displayed with optimum naturalness and beauty.
■ High-accuracy 12-bit, 54-MHz Video D/A Converter
The DVM-4800 is equipped with a 12-bit, 54-MHz video D/A converter
to convert with ease the huge volume of high-grade digital video data
into analog signals. This converter allows even the most delicate signals
to be faithfully reproduced into the clear, detailed pictures displayed with
Progressive Scan technology.
■ Super Sub Alias Filter
The DVM-4800 uses a Super Sub Alias Filter for the digital filter to optimize
picture quality. This filter achieves attenuation characteristics of -3 dB in
the ultra-high frequency band when the horizontal image is 6.25 MHz.
Even at 8.25 MHz, the apparent outer limit of DVD-Video, the attentuation
characteristic secured is above -60 dB, ensuring an ultra-high picture quality
with superior horizontal line resolution.
■ 4 MB Buffer Memory
This unit is equipped with a 4 MB buffer memory to ensure that both picture
and sound are played without interruption when the DVD disc shifts
from layer 1 to layer 2, or in the rare event of a pickup dropout.
■ Brilliant Black
DVM-4800 can pass below black video via the video outputs for correct
monitor setup and optimum picture quality.
■ Aspect Ratio Function for Correct Image Displays
When you want to view video images with an aspect ratio of 4:3 on a
16:9 Progressive TV monitor, the DVM-4800's Aspect Ratio function
converts the images to the correct aspect ratio so that you can enjoy
high-quality Progressive output on your screen. This function also converts
16:9 images for output to 4:3 TV screens.
The DVM-4800 is endowed with many of the most advanced technologies currently available, providing you with the most
stunning and realistic experience in sight and sound. For sound, it is Denon's high-end AL24 Processing Plus, to bring out
the best of DVD-Audio, and for video it is Progressive Scan, to masterfully reproduce the high resolution picture quality of
DVD-Video. The DVM-4800's 5-disc carousel gives you extremely flexible Repeat and Program playback options, and the
Remote In/Out terminals let you easily connect and control another device.
