Description:
Sufficient in itself for a first-rate listening experience, Denon's beautiful D-M51DVS DVD-based executive microsystem also provides top-notch video performance should you choose to use it with a television. Bringing quality and elegance to even the most space-constrained rooms, the D-M51DVS provides stereo bookshelf speakers, a 100-watt subwoofer, and 35 watts per channel audio power using the supplied speakers. The innovative 2.1-channel system processes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound and generates 5.1 sound from any stereo source using Dolby Pro Logic II. The D-M51DVS also incorporates Dolby Laboratories' Virtual Speaker surround-sound technology for enveloping sound from stereo sources. With its integrated DVD/receiver unit, this tiny, highly refined system conveys surprisingly realistic 5.1-channel surround sound from just 2 speakers. (It also offers preamplifier outputs for center and left/right surround channels for conversion to a true 5.1 system.) The D-M51DVS is perfect for small home theaters, for offices, apartments, dorm rooms, or any spot in which you desire quality, multichannel entertainment. The system plays DVD-Video, MP3 CD, WMA CD, JPEG image CD, and Kodak Picture CD, giving you the best of your digital media wherever you set it up. Compatible with direct-view TVs but perhaps asking outright to be connected to a silver, flat-panel LCD or plasma set, the D-M51DVS's DVD/receiver unit features a metallic silver chassis with an aluminum faceplate, and the satellite speakers are housed in real aluminum with wood-finish end caps and light-gray grille cloths. The subwoofer is finished in wood. The single-chassis DVD player/receiver features an FM/AM tuner with 40 station presets (and auto tuning) as well as progressive-scan DVD video outputs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Dolby Virtual Speaker technology provides an alternative to multi-speaker systems, digitally processing stereo and multichannel sound to yield what Dolby feels is the most accurate and natural virtual surround listening system ever. Using a proprietary process, it delivers a realistic 5.1-channel surround sound experience using just 2 stereo speakers. In addition to Dolby Virtual Speaker, the D-M51DVS features Dolby Headphone signal processing, which delivers natural-sounding surround through any set of connected headphones (none supplied). It's ideal for late-night movie viewing, video game playing, or private listening to audio- or video-based entertainment. The D-M51DVS provides a host of additional performance and convenience features, such as a clock with sleep and event timers and bass/treble tone controls. Key to the D-M51DVS's outstanding sound and picture quality are its high-resolution video digital-to-analog converters and digital video processing and its use of the same Analog Devices Hammerhead SHARC 32-bit DSP audio processors used in Denon's AVR-2803 and AVR-3803 audio/video receivers. LF Direct circuitry provides faithful playback of deep bass sound. With LF Direct, low-frequency signals bypass the subwoofer's crossover and level-control circuits, avoiding phase distortion and signal degradation. The result: you hear pure, deep bass that's utterly faithful to the source. The supplied 2-way bookshelf speakers each feature dual 2-inch mid-bass drivers and a .75-inch dome tweeter for rich, dynamic sound with detailed midrange and extended, open-sounding high frequencies. MDF (medium-density fiberboard) above and below the central aluminum enclosure forms a novel hybrid construction of metal and wood that produces great sound with natural acoustic characteristics not possible using aluminum alone.
