Features
Equipped with an i.LINK port for
digital transfers of high-quality media
By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable
between components with i.LINK ports, you
can get direct digital transfers of not only
DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel
audio such as Super Audio CD or DVD-
Audio, which previously could only be
connected in analog with five audio cords, as
well as 2-channel audio like conventional
CDs (see
page 55
).
When transferring DVD-Audio or Super
Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit
employs the Jitter Free Transfer System
(JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from
transfers. By combining this unit with JFTS-
compatible components, you can play jitter-
free audio.
An HDCP-compatible HDMI*
1
terminal
is provided to ensure the very highest
picture and digital sound quality by
fully digital transmission.
This unit comes with a High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) jack, an
extended DVI interface for next-generation
televisions. This interface allows transfers of
uncompressed digital video and digital audio
(audio streams like Dolby Digital and DTS as
well as linear PCM) with a single connector.
HDMI standard Ver. 1.1 compatibility means
the unit can also transfer DVD-Audio multi-
channel audio over HDMI.
End-to-end full-digital transfers with all-
digital processing make it possible to enjoy
realistic video without any of the image
degradation from AD/DA conversions. And
with the inclusion of our newly developed,
high-precision 10-bit scaler IC, the unit can
up-convert 480p video signals to 720p,
1080i, and 1080p video output signals by
way of the scaling function and the HDMI
jack (see
page 52
).
High quality 14-bit/216MHz Video D/
A converter*
2
The unit uses a Video D/A converter that
performs D/A conversion of all video signals
in 14-bits and can perform 8X over-sampling
to let you enjoy beautiful video possible
with DVD. Furthermore, NSV technology
suppresses noise during DA conversion.
Support for 10-bit advanced
progressive NTSC/PAL with newly
developed chroma-error
compensation.
Our newly developed chroma-error compen-
sation completely eliminates the chroma
error that occurs near perpendicular edges
in color-difference signals.
dts 96kHz/24 bit compatibility
It is equipped with a dts 96/24 decoder
that lets you enjoy dts audio with sound
quality as high as 96kHz/24bit. This prod-
uct does not support dts 88.2kHz/24bit.
Dolby Headphone compatibility
The Head Phone can reproduce the world of
Dolby Surround with realistic ambience like
that you would experience using a 5.1 ch
system (Excluding Super Audio CD) (see
page 13
).
Lip Sync capability
When it is connected to a plasma display or
projector, it corrects the time lag between
the video and audio created by the video
circuit processing time in units of 10msec up
to a maximum of 200msec. It precisely
synchronizes the actors’ voices and the
movements of their mouths (see
page 31
).
Equipped with a Super Audio CD
Distance compensation function
It can perform Distance adjustment of Super
Audio CD that was formerly impossible by
converting it to PCM (see
page 44
).
