3. HDCD ® (High Definition Compatible Digital ® ) decoder
(NOTE 1)
HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that greatly
reduces the distortion occurring at the time of digital
recording
while
maintaining
conventional CD format. HDCD allows 24-bit data to be
converted into the 16-bit data of current CDs with no loss in
sound quality.
The use of this HDCD decoder makes it possible to achieve
the high resolution and low distortion characteristic of HDCD
when playing HDCD-compatible discs, and DENON's digital
technology optimizes the high sound quality possibilities of
HDCD technology.
Furthermore, normal CDs, DVDs and
HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified, and the
optimum digital signal processing for that type of disc is used.
