DVD Audio-Video and Super Audio CD Player with New FAROUDJA Progressive Circuit
NEW MODEL INFORMATION
DVD-5900
DVD Audio-Video Player / Super Audio CD Player
■New FAROUDJA Progressive Circuit (NTSC / PAL Output)
In addition to the Motion Adaptive Deinterlacer that processes video signals in
pixel units, high-definition progressive-scan video is made possible by a Film
mode processor that supports 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown material. DCDi technology,
famous for its ability to process diagonal lines and edges, produces smooth,
natural images free of jagginess. The DVD-5900 is also equipped with 5 pro-
gressive-scan modes that enable the user to select the ideal progressive con-
version for any of a wide variety of program sources.
■Dual 12-bit, 216 MHz Video Converter
The DVD-5900 uses a total of six 12-bit, 216-MHz video D/A converters to tap
the maximum potential of the new FAROUDJA circuit's performance.
The DVD-5900 uses independent D/A converters for Progressive and
Interlaced picture reproduction.
These converters provide a very high sampling frequency of 216-MHz, with
8x oversampling used for Progressive and 16x oversampling for Interlaced
operation, resulting in the highest detailed D/A conversion.
■Discrete Video Circuit
Since a filter with ample cutoff characteristics can also be used for the analog low-
passfilter,the DVD-5900 reproduces the delicate nuances of video signals,
allowing viewers to enjoy the original picture at the highest level of realism.
■Independent Power Supply
Independent power supplies have been provided for the audio signal processing
block, the video signal block and other areas to eliminate mutual distortion with
other blocks. Clean supplies of power to the various circuits contribute to high
picture and sound quality.
■Noise Shaped Video (NSV)
■Super Sub Alias Filter
■Noise Reduction Circuit
Block noise and mosquito noise, characteristic faults of MPEG-compressed
video signals, are effectively eliminated to produce a more natural video image.
In addition, 3D noise reduction removes minute noise mixed in the video image
to beautifully reproduce only the required video information.
■Pure Direct Mode
The DVD-5900 includes two Pure Direct modes that further improve sound
quality. For example, during analog audio output, Pure Direct can turn off
digital signal outputs, video signal outputs, and the front panel display which
can easily influence the sound quality of the analog audio signals. The user
can define which operations are to be turned off and store those preferences
in memory.
■AL24 Processing for All Channels
Denon has further developed its proprietary AL24 Processing, an analog
waveform reproduction technology, to support the 192-kHz sampling frequency of
DVD-Audio. This new technology, AL24 Processing Plus, thoroughly
suppresses quantization noise associated with D/A conversion of LPCM
signals to reproduce the low-level signals with optimum clarity that will bring
out all the delicate nuances of the music.
■DENON Link
When the DVD-5900 is connected via a shielded twisted pair (STP), RJ-45 fitted
cable to a Denon Link compliant A/V amplifier, the balanced signal transfer
offers lower voltage than coaxial or unbalanced cables. Since DenonLink is far
less susceptible to radiated noise, it ensures the highest level of signal transfer
. The Denon Link interface has capability to transfer high-grade LPCM 24-bit /
192-kHz / 2-channel (*1) digital output.
■Multi Layer Construction
Since the high-density data recorded on DVD must be read with absolute accu-
racy, vibrations from outside or from internal sources, such as the power
supply, will adversely affect sound and picture quality. A variety of designs
have been incorporated in the DVD-5900 to suppress these unwanted vibrations.
The bottom of the DVD-5900's chassis features a sturdy 3-layer construction
designed to be resistant to vibration. Strong reinforcing frames are also used at
the front and back of the chassis itself. The addition of a 2-layer top cover and
large insulators serve to suppress external vibration. And the base of the
transformer is made of diecast aluminum that absorbs external vibration as
well as vibration from the transformer itself to secure stable operation.
This universal player is equipped with the newly-developed Faroudja progressive-scan circuit and supports Super Audio CD.
Each design block incorporates the latest devices and features a discrete circuit design and layout to effectively minimize mutual
interference and realize optimum sound and picture quality. The DVD-5900 also provides the latest connection interfaces,
such as DENON Link that allows clean transmission of high-quality digital audio signals.

■Digital Bass Management
When playing multi-channel Dolby Digital, LPCM, DVD-Audio/MLP or
DSD (Super Audio CD) sources, it is possible to preset speaker configurations
and delay times. The crossover point can be fixed at 40, 60, 80, 100 or 120 Hz
with 12 dB high and 24 dB low pass filter slopes.
■Loading Mechanism for Suppression of Vibrations
The loading mechanism uses a guide and tray painted with protein material
that is highly resistant to vibrations in order to prevent unwanted vibrations to
the tray.

(*1) If a source is copyright protected, the DVD player may convert the digital output.
(*2) Due to current standards of the DVD Copy Control Association made up of DVD-related companies,
output of DVD video images to DVI has not yet been approved. The DVI port on this product at the time of
release thus does not function. However, once a standard has been established, an upgrade will be planned
to enable use of the DVI port.
No signal is output when a device with HDCP-compliant 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.
(*3) Discs that have been poorly finalized following recording may be only partially playable or not playable at all.
