have been incorporated to suppress unwanted
vibrations. The pickup mechanism is positioned at the
center to reduce the effects of external vibrations.
The DVD mechanism section in the main chassis has been
divided in a two box construction to further protect
it from vibrations.
DCDi By
Faroudja: The DVD-3910's Progressive Scan
technology is powered by the latest DCDi by Faroudja
FLI-2310 decoding engine for the finest processing of
film, video, graphics, or mixed-mode content.
MP3/WMA
Playback: This unit will play MP3 and WMA files
recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO 9660
Level 1 format. It is recommended that MP3s be
recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or higher, and WMA
files at bit rates of 64 to 160 kbps. The player can
recognize up to 600 files. This unit is not compatible
with ID3 tags.

files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO
9660 Level 1 format. This unit can recognize baseline
JPEG files of less than 30MB. JPEG files can be
displayed one at a time, or in a slideshow fashion.
Video D/A Converter:
The
27MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion
ensures highly accurate playback of delicate,
low-level video signals, giving you a vivid picture
that is faithful in every detail. Oversampling of 4x
is used for both Progressive and Interlaced video
signals, allowing more detailed D/A conversion. Higher
quality picture reproduction is also possible thanks
to a filter with flexible shutout characteristics that
is used for the analog filter in the latter stage.
Audio D/A
Converter: 24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A converter
that is well protected from noise caused by
fluctuations in current from the power supply. This
high performance D/A converter allows not only input
of the 24-bit/192 kHz data of DVD-Audio discs.
Furthermore, the same DAC is used unsparingly for the
surround, center and LFE channels to provide optimum
sound quality during multi-channel playback as well.
Noise Shaped

domain to reduce noise in the video signal frequency
band in order to enhance video signal linearity.

outputs. The component outputs can be set to pass
either progressive or interlaced video.
