Kenwood DV-2070 DVD Player Incorporates Best Available Home Audio And Video Technologies
Model features 10-Bit Video, 24-Bit Audio Decoding Plus DTS Compatibility Kenwood USA's DV-2070 features the best available technologies for producing clean, sharp, rich video images, audiophile quality music, and theater-like multichannel sound. In addition, the unit offers special features such as full compatibility with DTS-encoded DVDs and CDs, on-screen menus that allow adjustments while viewing, extensive language and subtitle options, and scrolling front panel display of CD Text. The DV-2070 also has a motorized door that reduces dust infiltration, a remote control with joystick and gold-plated RCA, S-Video and component jacks. ""With the introduction of these advanced players, Kenwood now offers the best priced, best-featured DTS/Dolby Digital home theater systems on the market,"" said Joe Richter, President. The new DV-2070's performance is enhanced by Kenwood's use of 10-bit digital to-analog converters for the video signal, providing the highest video resolution available for the consumer market. The player produces vivid, life-like images with rich, solid colors and deep blacks by employing an output capacitorless video buffer amp that eliminates phase shift and group delay. Viewers will enjoy a clean video signal and will be able to sharpen the picture detail without increasing video noise, as a result of the player's coring video noise reduction system. Kenwood has also eliminated a common pathway for noise transmission by using a new switching power supply with isolated voltage regulators. Audiophile quality reproduction of music and movie soundtracks is assured by audio D-to-A converters featuring 24-bit resolution and a 96 kHz sampling rate, the highest of any home player now available. This also makes the players compatible with two-channel audiophile music DVDs that have recently become available. The player offers two digital audio outputs (one coaxial, one TOS-link optical), two composite video outputs, and two S-Video outputs. In addition to their other special features, Kenwood's disc player offers an 18-track programmable memory, repeat play function, and direct CD track access with remote. The DV-2070 also has a headphone jack with volume control. The DVD-2070 is currently available for a suggested retail price of $850. A second unit, the DV-303 is currently available for a suggested retail price of $450. For more information, contact Al Martinez at 310 639 9000 or visit the Web site at www.kenwoodusa.com.
