192 kHz/24-Bit Audio
DACs
Performing at a full 192 kHz/24-bit level of resolution,
these state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converters
deliver audio performance that is second to none. They
boast a higher dynamic range than standard D/A
converters, and are virtually resistant to clock jitter --
which means you’ll enjoy the best performance
possible from DVD-Audio discs and Super Audio CDs and cleaner sound
from your regular DVDs and CDs.
DVD-Audio -- Unprecedented
Fidelity
DVD-Audio’s dataloss-free reproduction of 192 kHz/24-bit 2-channel
stereo or 96 kHz/24-bit 6-channel surround sound recreates music with
such detail and clarity, it sounds as if every recording is being played live
in your home. DVD-Audio can store 1,100 times more information per
second than a CD. And with a super-high frequency rate of 192,000
samples per second -- 4.3 times greater than an audio CD -- you get
256 times the resolution, a frequency response up to 96 kHz, and an
extraordinary dynamic range of up to 144 dB -- which translates into a
musical experience that goes beyond just listening!
Oplus® FlexScale™ Video
Scaling Capability
While HD-DVD with a native resolution of over NTSC
480p or PAL 576p is still on the drawing board, you
can experience HD level 720p and 1080i via
FlexScale™ video scaling capability from Oplus®.
Built in to the DV-SP1000E, and thus eliminating the
need for costly external scalers, FlexScale™ takes
NTSC 480i or PAL 576i DVDs beyond normal progressive scan players
and into the HD domain by enabling 720p or 1080i output through the
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) out on the rear.
HDMI™ (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
The latest in digital interface technology is here
and it goes by the name of HDMI (High-
Definition Multimedia Interface). This high-
bandwidth interface supports not only
remarkable amounts of uncompressed digital
video but audio as well. Up to 5 Gbps of data,
more than twice what’s needed for a high-
definition movie with surround sound, can be
handled with room for future requirements.
All this data is kept in the digital domain as there are no D/A or
A/D conversions needed to ensure the highest sound and
video quality available. Unparalleled amounts of compressed or
uncompressed digital audio and video—up to 5 Gbps of
data—can be handled with just one high-speed cable.
i.LINK™ Digital Audio Interface
(a.k.a. IEEE1394)
The reduction of up to six analogue cables to one single
digital cable capable of carrying multi-channel audio is here.
i.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE1394) provides the high-bandwidth, high-
resolution signal transfer of audio that multi-channel formats
like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD have been waiting for. Even better,
content stays in the pure digital realm as there are no unnecessary D/A or
A/D conversions performed. Experience the pure digital multi-channel
music experience you’ve been waiting for.
Analog Devices® 216 MHz/14-
Bit NSV™ Video DAC
A crucial factor in achieving clear, pristine digital video
playback is the video D/A converter in your DVD player. The
state-of-the-art 216 MHz/14-bit video DAC from Analog
Devices featured in the DV-SP1000E gives you the finest
artifact-free picture available. Features such as 4x oversampling and
Noise Shaped Video (NSV®) dramatically reduce noise interference to the
video signal, so you can enjoy even the most subtle of nuances in your
favorite movies.
Premium Digital
Philosophy
This philosophy represents Onkyo’s all-inclusive approach to building
digital components that incorporate our core technologies, high-quality
parts and a focus on performance. It’s all part of a comprehensive formula
that enables us to offer products recognized for audio excellence,
superior construction, a high level of reliability and ease of use.
PAL/NTSC Veridic
Progressive Scan
Most DVDs are “progressive” -- meaning they produce video in complete
frames. But to be compatible with all TVs, the DVD signal must be
interlaced -- a method where the picture is split into two fields and then
blurred together to look like one. Progressive Scan, however, retrieves the
original progressive signal, and on such compatible displays as HDTV,
Plasma or digital TV and high-end projectors, “paints” all the visible lines
on the screen in a single pass -- so you’ll enjoy a scan-line-free image,
with spectacularly clear color, no motion artifacts, and details so sharp
they seem as if they’re etched onto the screen.
CinemaFILTER™
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack can be edgy and bright when
played back over audio equipment in your home - this is because film
soundtracks are designed to be played back in large theaters, using
commercial equipment. Onkyo has developed its own solution that
restores the correct tonal balance of a movie soundtrack in the smaller
environs of your home theater.
Super Audio CD -- Precision
Clarity
Super Audio CD gives you the next step in the evolution of pristine sound.
All channels provide for up to 100 kHz frequency response and a
sampling rate of 2.822 MHz—that’s 64 times that of a regular CD! A
multichannel SACD disc can provide you with up to 6 channels of high-
resolution audio in addition to a regular CD layer for playback on any
existing CD player.
ONKYO'S Micro Fiber
(OMF), A-OMF & A-OMF
Monocoque
OMF, made from a pure cotton weave to absorb
vibrations, was first developed to create a thick yet
rigid diaphragm that enables an extremely fast,
accurate response. The next stage saw the advent of
A-OMF, which incorporates a PEN (polyethylene
naphthalate) layer with a flexible cotton weave that makes speaker cones
even stronger and more resistant to heat. We then added an aramid layer
to create NEW A-OMF. The evolution has been taken a step further with
A-OMF Monocoque--essentially sharing the same material composition as
A-OMF but forming a single, continuous cover over the cone. All
diaphragm types achieve improved midrange clarity and imaging for an
astonishingly vivid, natural sound.
