The DVD-2910 is endowed with technology to unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. The DVD-2910
also uses two 12-bit, 216-MHz video D/A convertersto faithfully preserve the delicate low-level signals often lost during
D/A conversion. With these advanced video image technologies, the DVD-2910 will reproduce with the highest resolu-
tion, DVD images on Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors. For sound, it is high quality audio D/A conver-
sion and Digital Bass Management that will bring out the best of not only Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio discs,
but your entire CD collection as well.

■Dual Discrete Video Circuit (D.D.V.C.)
• Dual 12-bit, 216-MHz Video D/A Converters
An extremely high-speed video D/A converter is a critical component in
superior quality digital video playback. The DVD-2910 therefore uses dual 12-bit,
216-MHz video D/A convertersto ensure highly accurate playback of deli-
cate, low-level video signals and give you a vivid picture that is faithful in
every detail. Oversampling of 4x is used for Progressive and 8x for
Interlaced video signals, allowing more detailed D/A conversion. Higher
quality picture reproduction is also possible thanks to filtering with flexible
shutout characteristics that is used for the analog filter in the latter stage.
Furthermore, the DVD-2910 uses two separate video D/A converters to
process Progressive and Interlaced signals. This eliminates mutual inter-
ference between the Progressive and Interlaced signals.

• Discrete Audio/Video circuit
To ensure high-quality sound and video playback, all circuits have been
given in a discrete design, a feature inherited from high-end equipment.
The audio and video circuits have been mounted on separate boards that
are in complete isolation from each other in order to thoroughly suppress
high-frequency video noise.
The power section has been given in a discrete design as well, with separate
power units provided for the audio block, video block, and digital block,
ensuring a clean, stable supply of power to all circuits. Interference among
the circuits is thus thoroughly suppressed to produce high-grade playback
with minimal noise.
From basic design to ease of use, the DVD-2910 has been carefully
designed in every detail to deliver superior playback performance.
■Progressive Scan featuring DCDi by Faroudja
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. Now, this DCDi technology that
was available only in the higher-end DVD players has been includ-
ed in Denon's affordable DVD-2910.
●Dual 12bit 216MHz Video D/A Converter
An extremely high-speed video D/A converter is a critical component in superior
quality digital video playback. The DVD-2910 therefore uses a 12-bit, 216-MHz video
D/A converter to ensure highly accurate playback of delicate, low-level video
signals and give you a vivid picture that is faithful in every detail. Oversampling
of 4x is used for both Progressive and Interlaced video signals, allowing more
detailed D/A conversion. Higher quality picture reproduction is also possible
thanks to a filter with flexible shutout characteristics that is used for the analog
filter in the latter stage. Furthermore, the DVD-2910 uses two separate video
D/A converters to process Progressive and Interlaced signals. This eliminates
mutual interference between the Progressive and Interlaced signals.

■Dual Bottom Chassis
■All Channel Equal 24-bit, 192-kHz Audio D/A Converter
The DVD-2910 uses 24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A convertersthat is well protected
from noise caused by fluctuations in current from the power supply. Since the level of
quantization noise within the frequency range is uniform for all frequencies, this D/A
converter ensures that all the sound you hear is as clear and noise-free as possible.
■Pure Direct Mode
The DVD-2910 features a Pure Direct Mode that further improves sound quality. For
example, during analog audio output, Pure Direct can turn off video signal outputs
and the front panel display which can easily influence the sound quality of the ana-
log audio signals.

Playback (*2)
The DVD-2910 supports the CD-R/RW format. It plays finalized CD-R/RW discs
containing MP3 audio files. It also reads still photos in the JPEG format taken by a digi-
tal camera.
■GLOW Key Remote
(*1) No signal is output when a device with HDCP-comliant DVI output is connected to a display that
does not support HDCP. A display supporting HDCP must be connected in order to view images via
DVI.
(*2) Discs that have been poorly finalized following recording may be only partially playable or not
playable at all.
