HDCD® and D.R.I.V.E. Effects
HDCD is a new format enabling recording with higher quality than pre-
vious CD while maintaining compatibility with it. Although a HDCD-
compatible CD player is usually required to exhibit the full characteris-
tics of the HDCD, this receiver is capable of reproducing high-quality
HDCH signals by connecting a CD player through digital connection,
even if it does not incorporate the HDCD circuitry.
D.R.I.V.E. is a KENWOOD original technology for reproducing signals
with high resolution by instant switching of the internal digital adaptive
filters according to the input signal. This receiver incorporate a high
performance DSP to provide very high resolution from 32-bit DRIVE III
circuitry, achieving stereo audio reproduction with the best quality ever
reached.
The D.R.I.V.E. indicator lights when the D.R.I.V.E. circuit is activated.
The HDCD indicator lights when the HDCD circuit is activated and a
HDCD is played.
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. are designed to be activated automatically to select
the optimum circuit path.
