JVC Introduces High Performance DVD Player
XV-523GD Offers High Bit Rate Sampling And Superior Audio Performance
JVC has introduced a new DVD player to its line, the full-function XV-523GD. This versatile player offers a high-bit/high-sampling (10-bit/27MHz) video D/A converter (DAC) that generates a high-quality picture by compensating for signal loss and removing digital aliasing noise. The SV-523GD is a capable addition to any home theatre installation, offering superb connectivity with component video, S-Video and composite video outputs, as well as DolbyÆ Digital and DTSÆ Digital Surroundô outputs. New P.E.M. D.D. Converter Thanks to the 96kHz P.E.M. D.D. Converter, the XV-523GD delivers high-quality sound with an extra-wide 106dB dynamic range. With an additional 8-times oversampling digital filter at the signal input section, and an improved VANS 4th Order Noise Shaper, the new P.E.M. DAC is designed for present and future format compatibility. The VANS 4th 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 outside noise encroachment. The Balanced Buffer Circuit ensures low noise and distortion in the next analog state. In the new P.E.M. D.D. Converter, the VANS features a wide noise-shaping range. Separate circuit construction improves both audio and video performance. Thereís a separate power supply for the internal converters, and the PLL circuit is doubly insulated. Because the power supply, digital circuitry, analog audio and analog video circuits are all physically separated, interference is drastically cut, and degradation minimized, and digital signals are converted into analog with the highest stability and precision. GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows easy operation through on-screen menus. The ""Illumi-Guide"" feature illuminates correct keys to guide the user through various operations. The ""Digest"" function displays on-screen a grid of 3 x 3 scenes. The first scene is a title or chapter for direct access at the touch of a button. Zoom and strobe features are also included, along with variable speed search both forward and backward. For full digital compatibility, there are component outputs (Y, PR and PB), as well as coaxial and optical digital outputs. S-video and composite video outputs are also supplied. 3D-PHONIC virtual surround gives a realistic presence from two speakers up front. There is a Multi-Brand remote control, English/French/Spanish OSD (On-Screen Display), a coordinated home theatre ""VCR matching"" look and AV COMPU LINK for coordinated operation with JVC TVs and receivers. A new feature for 2000 is the addition of a 3-mode screen saver, to help guard against ""burn-in"" on the television CRT display. The XV-523GD will be available in April at a nationally advertised value of $349.95.
