This year, JVC is leading the consumer electronics industry with the worldís most versatile DVD Audio/Video player designed for universal use with all major DVD formats including DVD, CD, VCD, CD-R and CD-R/W standards. Treat yourself to JVCís DVD-Video/Audio player - the XV-D723GD for the finest in audio/video quality and format flexibility. JVC is leading the industry with its DVD-Audio player, offering high bit, high sampling video D/A converter, Video Fine Processing for fine picture adjustment, built-in DolbyÆ Digital and DTSÆ Digital Surroundô decoders, a new P.E.M. D.D. converter with 192khz and 24-bit video quantized and 96kHz and 24-bit audio resolution. The total package includes progressive scan output and a multi-brand remote with shuttle dial for easy programming. In all its DVD players, JVCís carefully engineered design improves sound performance, which separates the audio and video paths to make each circuit totally independent. Additionally, the audio circuit is divided into sub-blocks channel by channel to eliminate interference and improve sound quality. The sub-blocks are divided into (1) an independent audio circuitry block, (2) an independent video circuitry block, (3) a mechanism, (4) servo/signal processing circuit (which resides on the underside of the mechanism), and (5) the power supply. JVC has found the answer to pleasing exacting DVD enthusiasts who want a cutting-edge player with maximum audio performance. Offering superb flexibility, JVCís XV-D723GD DVD-Audio player has specifications that far exceed the requirements for audio CD, and in fact, feature the highest quality stereo sound reproduction with a dynamic range of 144dB using a high 192kHz sampling frequency and a high 24-bit rate. The unit offers realistic multichannel sound with six channels of sound sampled at 96kHz and quantized with 24 bits for totally discrete multichannel digital sound. The XV-D723GD offers a 10-bit/54Mhz video digital-to-analog converter with a newly developed A/V decoder for a wide video bandwidth. The viewers can get high-resolution images on demand. Moreover, the 4:2:2 YCrCb video signal can be oversampled to provide a 4:4:4 signal for exceptional crispness and vivid imagery. The XV-D723GD offers versatile interactive options so you can have more fun playing games or watching graphics. For fun that lasts, moving pictures and graphics can be displayed along with audio for display on your television. With the assist of interactive display and search functions, youíll appreciate music more. The DVD player also offers four-level adjustments (Normal, Sharp, Soft, Manual) and component video, S-Video and composite video outputs. As with its traditional DVD players, JVCís XV-D723GD DVD Audio player delivers the highest sound quality thanks to a new built-in P.E.M. D.D. converter which delivers an eight-times oversampling digital filter at the signal input section and an improved fourth-order noise shaper (VANS) for compatibility with DVDís 192 kHz/24-bit format. The unit has a two-channel dynamic range of 108dB, optical and coaxial digital outputs for versatile setup, 5.1-channel analog output, and separate construction throughout to eliminate audio distortion. The VANS fourth-order noise shaper reduces quantization noise to a negligible level. The Fine Pulse Interface insulates the master clock generator from analog stages and power supplies to prevent various interference. Besides cutting-edge technologies, the XV-D723GD offers fun and easy features for family entertainment, such as an easy-to-use interface, on-screen display, language indicator, easy speaker setting, variable search and variable slow (forward and reverse) for scene-finding. Special features customers admire include Resume (bookmark function), Digest (visual access to desired chapter or title), Zoom and Strobe, and a bit rate indicator so you can separately gage the peak hold on audio and video signals. Finally, the unit has a three-mode screen saver and is compatible with A/V CompuLink, so it will sync with any other CompuLink-compatible device. The XV-D723GD DVD-Audio player has an elegant champagne finish in an artful design that coordinates with an array of home styles and decors.
