The DVD-9000 is DENON’s top grade DVD audio-video player
equipped with the latest in digital technology. This includes AL24
Processing Plus, a newly developed analog waveform
reproduction technology with sights on next generation media, as
well as a multi 24-bit D/A converter with 192 kHz sampling
compatibility taking maximum advantage of the high quality
offered by AL24 Processing Plus.
(1) AL24 Processing Plus, an advanced version of
conventional AL24 Processing, is a newly developed
analog waveform reproduction technology, and offers
compatibility with the high number of bits and high
sampling rates of next generation media. AL24 Processing
Plus compensates the input digital data to reproduce the
sound with analog waveforms as close as possible to
those existing in nature and with 24-bit quality. The result
is increased musical reproduction capabilities of
reverberations, etc., at low levels, for a sound that seems
to draw you into the concert hall.
(2) AL24 Processing Plus of course carries over Adaptive Line
Pattern Harmonized Algorithm & Automatic Low Pass
Filter Harmonic Adjustment, the strong points of
conventional ALPHA Processing. On the DVD-9000 these
filters have been dramatically improved, resulting in a
filtered band attenuation of over -115 dB and ripple within
the passing band of ~0.00002 dB, a figure comparable to
that of professional recorders.
2. igk ~r~~is~~rn ulti converter
(1) The DVD-9000 is equipped with a multi 24-b& D/A
converter for faithful D/A conversion of the high quality 24-
bit data achieved through AL24 Processing Plus. This
further enhances such aspects of audio performance as
the S/N ratio, dynamic range and distortion and makes full
use of the possibilities for high quality sound provided by
a high number of bits and high sampling rates.
(2) The multi 24-b& D/A converter is little affected by noise
resulting from fluctuations in the power supply voltage
and current, and Ihe quantization distortion level within
the band is constant regardless of the frequency, resulting
in clear sound with little noise.

3.
HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that greatly
reduces the distortion occurring at the time of digital
recording while maintaining compatibility with the
conventional CD format. HDCD allows 24bit data to be
converted into the 16-bit data of current CDs with no loss in
sound quality.
The use of this HDCD decoder makes it possible to achieve
the high resolution and low distortion characteristic of HDCD
when playing HDCD-compatible discs, and DENON’s digital
technology optimizes the high sound quality possibilities of
HDCD technology. Furthermore, normal CDs, DVDs and
HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified, and the
optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used.
4. ~@~~~er ( a ( 3)
The DVD-9000 is equipped with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3)
/DTS decoder, allowing you to recreate the atmosphere of a
movie theater or concert hall when using the DVD-9000 in
combination with an AV amplifier and speakers.
5.
The DVD-9000 meets THX@ Ultra standards, a strict set of
criteria advocated by Lucasfilm on the picture and sound
quality of DVD players and their operability with connected
equipment. This makes it possible to achieve the high quality
pictures and sound.
6. ~rQ~~@§$iv~ ~~a~ ~~r~~~~U
The DVD-9000 is equipped
Scan circuit “Pure ProgressiverM” allowing it to reproduce
movies and other images on DVDs with a quality near that of
the original.
c~mw@r~arf 61
The DVD-9000 uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A
conversion of all video signals at 14 bits and allows 4X
oversampling in the progressive mode to achieve the high
quality picture that DVDs are meant to provide. In addition,
NSV technology reduces noise upon D/A conversion.

(2) The pickup mechanism is positioned at the center to
reduce the effects of external vibrations.
(3) A heavyweight chassis and low center of gravity make for
a low vibration design.
The DVD-9000 can be used as a D/A converter by connecting
it to an external digital component using the digital
connectors.

* 1 Only 48 k&$6-bit sources are output.
“2 Only 44.1 kHz/l6-bit sources are output.
* Down-mixed to 2 channels for multi-channel PCM sources. (Only the front left and right channels are output for sources for which
down-mixing is prohibited.)
e When “OFF” is selected, digital signals are not output from the digital audio output at this time.
e Linear PCM audio is the signal recording format used for music CDs.
While the signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/36 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 44.1 kHz/36 bit to 192 kHu’24 bit,
providing higher sound quality than music CDs.
* Packed PCM signals are high sound quality cornpressed PCM signals that are decompressed with virtually no loss of data.

Analog 5.1-channel audio signals can be output from the DVD-9000.
The multichannel audio signals recorded in packed PCM can be played when an AV amplifier equipped with analog 5.1-channel audio
inputs is connected.

e For multi-channel connections, set “AUDIO CHANNEL” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “MULTI CHANNEL” and make the
“SPEAKER CONFIGURATION”, “CHANNEL LEVEL” and “DELAY TIME” settings.
0 Set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “OFF”. (See page 32.)
(If set to “ON”, analog audio signals converted to 48 kHz will be output for linear PCM or packed PCM sources.)
0 When playing DVDs that are not copyright-protected and the unit is set to output digital and analog audio signals simultaneously, for some
discs only the signals below 96 kHz for the front two channels will be output for the analog part.
When playing DVDs that are not copyright-protected, set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” at “PURE DIRECT MODE” to “OFF”. (See page 54.)
e With the DVD-9000, we recommend turning the digital output off and only outputting analog signals in order to keep interference from
the digital output circuitry to the minimum and allow you to enjoy high bit, high sampling frequency, high quality multi-channel sound.

* Set the “AUDIO SETUP” default setting as shown below. (See page 32.1
