DVD-Audio/Video Player By JVC Takes Advantage Of Advanced Technologies

Zero Interference, Zero Vibration, Zero Resonance

22-Feb-01

JVC launched at CES the XV-D9000 DVD Audio/Video player, designed for use with DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, CD, and Video CD. The XV-D9000 offers compatibility with leading DVD-Audio formats, Extended K2 Processing, progressive scan output and is armed with the latest technologies to perform to with zero interference, zero vibration and zero resonance. JVCís XV-D9000 boasts a 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. audio digital-to-analog converter compatibility with 192kHz/24-bit and 96kHz/24-bit DVD-audio formats. This harmony with the new format in DVD-Audio enables the XV-D9000 to deliver super fidelity while the exclusive fourth order noise shaper (VANS) effectively eliminates noise by shifting it away from the audible range. Circuits for the front left and right channels are constructed separately to achieve a superior dynamic range of over 115 decibels.For spectacular audio, the XV-D9000 offers built-in DolbyÆ Digital/DTSÆ Digital Surroundô decoders. This DVD-Audio/Video player also offers 5.1-channel output, as well as optical/coaxial digital outputs for PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS. For enhanced video it offers a THEATER position in three steps, resume/angle functions and on-screen display in two languages (English/ French).JVCís new DVD Audio/Video player achieves superb richness and depth by using JVCís algorithmic Extended K2 Processing to scientifically ""fill in"" the absence of higher musical frequencies, which are lost during the compression process of condensing music to the PCM digital format. Higher frequencies, which are eliminated from the narrow bandwidth due to constraints on upper limits of recordable frequencies, are precisely regenerated using high bit/high sampling processing. The result is the most natural sound and a quality close to that of the original master.JVCís XV-D9000 DVD Audio player is built to deliver zero interference, zero vibration and zero resonance. To cut mutual interference, the unitís circuit blocks are divided into five blocks, which are physically and functionally independent. The analog circuits feature a sub-chassis construction and an exclusive power supply with an R-core transformer to keep audio signals pure and clean. The unit is protected from undesirable vibrations and external influences via a 3.2mm-thick steel bottom plate and aluminum frame. The disc tray is airtight to create a hermetic seal, which reduces the effect of external vibrations. The XV-D9000 offers progressive scan output for film sources, which upconverts the DVD video data stream, which is the films native 24 frames-per-second (fps) to 60 fps output. The result is a superior, artifact-free image. In addition, the unit has a three-dimensional Natural Progressive Scan mode for use with interlaced video sources, which is a sophisticated interpolation of between-scan lines information, resulting in the creation of high density video images. Depending on the degree of movement, the motion-adaptive interpolation technology calculates an optimum compensation for each pixel, thereby creating a gorgeous, detailed image.The original 8-bit/13.5MHz component video signal often suffers loss and aliasing noise in the conversion process, but JVCís high bit/high sampling (10-bit/27MHz) video DAC overcomes these problems in conjunction with a wide-band digital filter that allows high precision computations. It improves the resolution of digital signals and drastically cuts digital noise, thereby converting digital video signals recorded on a disc into analog video signals without degradation. Moreover, analog filters are individually optimized for component video, S-Video and composite signals to avoid mutual interference and to provide high quality images.JVCís XV-D9000 offers a user-friendly interface, which lets the owner have easy control of sound settings, even without a monitor. DVD Audioís Group/Track/Index functions are accessed directly through the unitís remote-controlled fluorescent display rather than by the on-screen display. The sampling rate, quantization of bits and transfer bit rate of the source are all on the display.JVCís XV-D9000 DVD-Audio/Video Player is available for a Nationally Advertised Value of $5,000.
