■PureProgressive Circuit
The DVD-2800 is the first DVD video player to support Silicon Image's
Progressive Converter, capable of the highest standard of I/P conversion in
the industry.
High-speed processing: This Progressive Converter is capable of
processing 6 billion operations per second, giving reality to the following
high performance.
Moving picture detection: Since PureProgressive is also adept at 2:3
pulldown detection, which converts Film recording mode to TV/Video play-
back mode, and detecting Video mode signals of DVD-Video and other
moving picture formats, PureProgressive is capable of reproducing DVD-
Video discs containing both Film mode and Video mode signals, as well as
high picture quality Progressive video sources, while avoiding the flickering
caused by detection delays. In detecting moving video signals, the con-
ventional Progressive method performs detection in single frame units,
while PureProgressive stores 4 fields of video signals in a 64-Mbit
SDRAM buffer, enabling the detection of single-pixel units to achieve
greater precision in discriminating between moving and still pictures.
2:3 pulldown detection: In 2:3 pulldown processing which converts
24-fps Film mode into 60-fps TV/Video mode, there are cases in which
2:3 pulldown sync signals are not in sync. The PureProgressive converter
thus quickly detects the non-sequential points and performs appropriate
corrective measures at high speed to minimize picture flickering.
■Highest resolution Analog Devices 54-MHz,12-bit, 4:4:4 Video D/A
Conversion System
The DVD-2800 employs a 54-MHz, 12-bit video D/A converter. This
video D/A converter performs on Progressive form, and by processing the
Y signal and Pb/Pr signals at resolutions of 12 and 11 bits, respectively,
PureProgressive is able to faithfully reproduce extremely low-level signals,
delivering a delicate yet clear video image.
■Super Sub Alias Filter
The DVD-2800 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.
■ High-performance Output Signal Switching Relay
The DVD-2800 is equipped with 1 set of Component video outputs for
both Progressive signal (Y, Pb, Pr) and Interlaced signal (Y, Cb, Cr) out-
put. Wideband relay switching is employed when switching between
Progressive and Interlaced Output, for optimum picture quality in either
mode.
The DVD-2800 is endowed with PureProgressive technology to unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. This DVD
video player from DENON is the first to use the Progressive Converter developed by Silicon Image, Inc., ensuring greater accuracy
and speed in I/P conversion. The DVD-2800 also uses a 54-MHz, 12-bit video D/A converter to faithfully preserve the delicate
low-level signals during D/A conversion. With these advanced video image technologies, the DVD-2800 is able to reproduce
high-quality pictures on Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors. The audio circuitry masterfully complements the superior
picture quality with its 96-kHz, 24-bit D/A converter, HDCD decoder, and parts strictly selected for high sound quality, providing
you with stunning sonic transparency and power.

■PureProgressiveTM Technology brought to you by Silicon
Image, Inc.
■Video Controls
The DVD-2800 provides 5 video adjustment controls---Contrast,
Sharpness, Brightness, Gamma (to enhance gradation for video programs
with predominantly dark Progressive Scan images), and Hue (for
Interlaced images only)---which let you adjust the video images to suit your
taste.
■MP3 Playback (*1)
The DVD-2800 also plays MP3 files downloaded from the Internet and
other sources. Simply record these files onto a CD-R/RW disc via your
computer, then play the disc in the DVD-2800.
■CD-R/RW (audio/MP3) Playback (*1)
Both CD-R and CD-RW discs can be played in the DVD-2800.
■24-bit, 96-kHz Audio D/A Converter
The DVD-2800 uses a highly accurate multi-bit Sigma Delta D/A converter
with superior dynamic range and S/N characteristics. This converter pro-
vides plenty of support for the demanding 24-bit, 96-kHz sampling signals
of the DVD-Video format. The incorporation of a differential circuit in the
output stage and other features of the D/A converter ensure that playback
sound is of the highest quality possible, the normal expectation from
DENON’s acclaimed digital technology.
■HDCD Decoder
HDCD is a digital recording technology, compatible with the conventional
CD format, that significantly reduces distortion during recording to expand
the dynamic range and realize high resolution. The HDCD decoder allows
the DVD-2800 to play discs that have been recorded in HDCD format
and to bring out the superior sonic performance from these discs.
Combined with DENON's advanced audio technology, the DVD-2800
masterfully reproduces HDCD's rich dynamic range and beautiful sound
quality.
■Double-speed Drive System
The DVD-2800 employs a 2x drive system that drives at 4x when the
loaded disc is a CD. This unit is also 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.
■PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Output
■24/96 PCM Digital Output Capability
■On-screen Display
■Passes Below Black
DVD-2800 can pass below black video via the progressive and the
interlaced outputs for correct monitor setup and optimum picture quality.
■Virtual Surround Mode (*2)
Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using
just one pair of speakers. The DVD-2800's Virtual Surround mode
provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two
speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources.
■Highly Rigid Chassis and Hybrid Loader Mechanism
The DVD-2800 incorporates a center mechanism mount that is struc-
turally very stable, and the mechanism's cover ensures that vibration
from the drive does not influence signal circuitry. The DVD-2800's
rigid chassis is constructed of a 15-mm thick front panel, a 1.6-mm
thick drive mechanism, and a 1-mm thick top cover, 1.2-mm thick
main chassis to thoroughly suppress internal and external vibration
and preserve signal integrity. The disc loader features a special hybrid
construction of molded plastic and metal that further absorbs vibration
for completely stable disc playback.
