The First Name in Digital Audio

DVD VIDEO PLAYER

DVD-5000

DVD-5000

World’s First THX Ultra DVD Player

The DVD-5000 is a reference-class DVD video player featuring Denon’s latest digital technology known as AL24 Processing which

produces the ultimate analog waveform fidelity to suit next-generation media. In order for AL24 Processing to perform at its maximum

potential, the DVD-5000 also incorporates a 4-DAC 24-bit D/A converter section which supports up to 96 kHz sampling.

With the Denon DVD-5000, the audiophile becomes enveloped in a digital sound of an order they have never experienced before. The

DVD-5000 is further equipped with HDCD decoding that has been combined with Denon’s digital technology to bring out the highest

quality in sound that is possible with HDCD-encoded CDs. The DVD-5000 passes the strict THX Ultra specifications by Lucasfilm Inc.,

that have been established for best possible picture quality, audiophile sound quality and ease of operation.

■Newly-developed AL24 Processing

AL24 Processing has inherited the technology of the original ALPHA

Processing that was used in Denon’s highly-successful S1 series of ref-

erence-class audio components. AL24 Processing further reduces quan-

tization distortion and represents the ultimate analog waveform repro-

duction technology designed to support the higher numbers of bits and

higher sampling rate of next-generation media.

AL24 Processing senses the nature of the digital data being input and interpolates the data so

that it faithfully replicates the original analog waveform. AL24 Processing supports not only 16-bit

digital data, but also 18-, 20- and 24-bit data, as well as input data with a sampling frequency of

up to 96 kHz.

■Multiple 24-bit, 96 kHz D/A Converter

The DVD-5000 uses a 4-DAC 24-bit, 96 kHz sampling D/A

converter system in order to convert high-quality 24-bit data

obtained from AL24 processing with utmost fidelity.

This design achieves a signal-to-noise (S/N)

ratio of 118 dB and a

dynamic range of 108 dB

to bring out the beautiful

sound of high-bit, high-sampling

technology.

■THX Ultra Certified

Lucasfilm, Inc. has unveiled the new THX Ultra standards for DVD players in order to recreate

the exciting realism of the movie theater in one’s own home. The DVD-5000 DVD player from Denon

has passed those stringent standards, and is now being offered to home theater enthusiasts

throughout the world.

The THX Ultra standards comprise three basic categories of tests: Audio Quality, Video Quality

and User Interface. These tests ensure that the DVD player is fully capable of bringing the best visu-

al and sonic quality out of your favorite DVD programs.

■High-speed, Precision 10-bit, 27 MHz Video D/A Converter

The highly accurate video decoder processes the DVD video data (the component luminance and

color difference signals). In order to output this high-quality digital signal with its original purity still

preserved, the DVD-5000 employs a high-speed, high-precision 10-bit, 27 MHz video D/A converter.

This design improves the reproducibility of extremely minute details so that the picture viewed on the

screen is completely faithful to the original image in both its colors and high resolution.

■HDCD Decoder

HDCD technology represents encoding and decoding that drastically

reduces digital recording distortion while retaining compatibility with the

existing CD format. HDCD uses Peak Extension and Low-level Extension tech-

nology to convert 24-bit data to the 16-bit data format of existing CDs with-

out sacrificing the high quality of 24-bit sound. This technology prevents the

sound from becoming distorted during peak periods, and boosts the low-level

signals to improve the S/N ratio for a substantially richer dynamic range.

Since the DVD-5000 is equipped with an HDCD decoder, the

Peak Extension and Low-level Extension features are accessed

and combined with Denon’s own 96 kHz, 24-bit 4-DAC

system to fulfill the maximum potential of HDCD's

remarkable sound quality.

The DVD-5000 also automatically senses

the type of disc that has been loaded

(ordinary CD, DVD disc, or HDCD), then

processes the signals based on the type

of disc detected.

■Independent D/A Converter

The DVD-5000 can also be used as a D/A converter. The

front panel Source switch directs the digital input signals coming in

through one of the two digital input terminals (optical or coaxial) so that it

passes through the unit’s AL24 Processor and D/A converter for output as a clean,

highly accurate analog signal.

■Color Component Video Output

The DVD-5000 is equipped with a color component signal video output capability that faithfully

outputs the analog signals resulting from direct and high-precision D/A conversion of the Y, Cb and

Cr signals recorded on DVD. “S” and composite video outputs are also provided (2 of each).

■Vibration-resistant Construction

The DVD-5000 protects the DVD and the transport mechanism

from unwanted vibrations using a centrally located holder with low

center of gravity firmly secured with mechanism brackets to the

unit’s highly rigid, copper-plated chassis. This mechanism is further

isolated from the digital, video and audio circuits which have each

been mounted on their own copper-plated board so that the circuits can be thoroughly protected

from mutual interference and vibrations. The overall chassis of the DVD-5000 is constructed of a

15mm thick aluminum front panel, a double-layered top cover and a quadruple-layered bottom

chassis assembly. All these parts have been secured with vibration-absorbent sintered alloy insula-

tors to produce a construction that is totally protected from both internal and external vibrations.

■Easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI)

■Parts Strictly Selected for Sound Quality

Three sepa-

rate transform-

ers have been

employed for the

audio, video, and

control sections. Transformers specially constructed with vibration-

resistant materials are used in the audio and video sections. In addition,

the same strictly-selected parts whose performance has proven to be reliable

during the development of Denon’s S1 series of audio components -- such as the

removable ultra-thick AC power cord; very low ESR electrolytic capacitors, film

capacitors and carbon resistors designed for high sound quality; and the high speed

operational amplifiers selected for highest sound quality -- have gone into the DVD-5000.

■High-performance Pickup and Digital Servo Technology

In order to read the maximum 8.5 gigabytes of data that can be record-

ed on one side of a DVD, the DVD-5000 uses a self-excited oscillator type

red laser with a wavelength of 650nm to ensure stable, low-noise perfor-

mance. In addition, the pickup lens used with this laser employs an integral

molding hologram that enables DVD and CD program sources to be read by

the same pickup. As a result, the DVD-5000 features the shortest possible

signal paths, a simplified construction and superior reliability.

■Expanding to Input Signal Bit Length of 24 Bits

While the original ALPHA Processing system generated four lower bits of data for the 16-bit input data

to obtain data of 20-bit quality, the new AL24 Processing uses two calculating circuits in its lower data

generation section to generate eight bits, to which the upper 16 bits of data is then added, producing an

output signal of 24-bit quality (Figure 1).

First of all, the data reproduced from a CD is input “as is” in its 16-bit staircase form to the ALPHA

processor, as shown in waveform (A) of Fig. 2. The processor then extrudes the rate of change in 1 LSB,

whether positive or negative, from the portions of waveform (A) where a change in the data has occurred

and produces waveform (B).

Next, the ALPHA processor uses its lower-

order bit data generator to produce data for

the four lower-order bits, 17-24, that should

normally exist below the 16 bits as shown in

waveform (C). The result is waveform (D),

where lower-order bit data for each 1/16 LSB

point of change is generated.

Finally, the higher-order bits of waveform

(A) are added to waveform (D), producing

the synthesized waveform shown in wave-

form (E). This waveform reflects the smooth

24-bit oversampled data that is reproduced

with superb audio clarity.
