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
HDCD 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 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.
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. is effective only at the time of digital input stereo,
DSP mode or multi channel music.
Some HDCD-recorded discs do not contain all tracks as HDCD record-
ings. (The HDCD indicator will not light for tracks not recorded as
HDCD.)
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. is effective only at the time of THX Off mode.
