NOTES:
• Please use the included IEEE 1394 cable. When using a cable other than the included IEEE 1394 cable,
please use a 4-pin IEEE 1394 cable with a length of 3.5 m or less for S400 or higher.
• The “IEEE 1394 audio signal (A&M protocol)” output from the DVD-3910’s IEEE 1394 connector not out
video signals, please connecting to a TV or Monitor with “component video output” or “S-video output”
or “Video output”. (See pages 6, 7.).
• The “IEEE 1394 audio signal (A&M protocol)” output from the DVD-3910’s IEEE 1394 connector can only
be received on AV equipment equipped with an IEEE 1394 connector. Digital video (DV), personal
computer, and i-Link (a Sony trademark) audio signals cannot be sent and received. Incorrect connections
could lead to malfunction. Connect as instructed in the other device’s operating manual. Note that there is
no guarantee of the operation of the connection even between devices supporting IEEE 1394. Whether or
not data and control signals can be transmitted and received between devices supporting IEEE 1394
depends on the functions of the respective devices.
• When connecting using the IEEE 1394 connector, only connect one cord between the two devices. Never
connect two cords between the two devices (loop connection). If this is done, the signal output from one
device will return to the same device, resulting in malfunction.
• No audio signals are output from the DVD-3910’s analog connectors when IEEE 1394 is set.
To use the analog connectors, set the IEEE 1394 setting to “Cancel (Off)”.
• When using the IEEE 1394 mode, the “HDMI AUDIO SETUP” under “DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” and
the “AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”, “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)”, “SOURCE DIRECT” and
“BASS ENHANCER” settings under “SETUP” – “AUDIO SETUP” cannot be made.
The digital output cannot be turned off even by setting “PURE DIRECT SELECT” to “ALL OFF” or
selecting a mode for which the digital output is set to off. (See page 26.)
• When the IEEE 1394 connector is connected, the DVD-3910’s speaker settings are disabled.
• During playback of a device supporting IEEE 1394, please do not disconnect the IEEE 1394 cable of the
other device, do not connect a new device, and do not switch the power on or off. Doing so may interrupt
the audio.
• Among the devices that support IEEE 1394, when the power is in the standby mode or off, some devices
are not able to relay data. Please see the operation manual of the connected device that supports IEEE
1394. This unit is not able to relay the IEEE 1394 data while in the standby mode.
• Devices that support IEEE 1394 have the maximum data transfer speed supported by that device marked
in the vicinity of the IEEE 1394 connector. The maximum transfer speed of IEEE 1394 is defined as
approximately 100/200/400 Mbps*, with 200 Mbps items having S200 inscribed and 400 Mbps items
having S400 inscribed. The maximum IEEE 1394 data transfer speed of this unit is 400 Mbps. The actual
transfer speed may be slower than 400 Mbps when S100 or S200 devices are connected, or depending
on the specifications of the device. Try to ensure that connections are made between devices that have
the same maximum data transfer speed.
* Mbps (Mega bps) is an abbreviation of “Mega bits per second” and indicates the volume of data that can
be communicated in 1 second. At 400 Mbps, 400 Mega bits of data is transferred in 1 second.
✽ The DVD-3910’s IEEE 1394 mode is designed based on IEEE Std. 1394a-2000, Standard for a High
Performance Serial Bus.
✽ IEEE 1394 network
The following types of connections can be made between devices handling IEEE 1394 audio signals (A&M
protocol):
q Daisy chain connections
Connect the sets in series using a single IEEE 1394 cord. Up to 15 sets can be connected.
w Tree (tower) connections
Connect the sets in parallel and in series using a single IEEE 1394 cord. Up to 63 sets can be connected.
Copyright Protection System
To play back through an IEEE 1394 connection the audio of Super Audio CD or DVD (except for discs that may
be copied freely), both the player and the amplifier are required to support a copyright protection system called
DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). DTCP is copy protection technology comprising data encryption
and the authentication of the remote device. This unit supports DTCP. Please see the operation manual of your
amplifier for information about your amplifier.

Connection Examples for HDMI AUDIO SETUP
HDMI-supported monitor or projector, etc. (2-channel support or no audio support)
• 2CH ..........................Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from
an analog audio output connector, DENON LINK, or with the audio output from an IEEE
1394 connector.
HDMI-supported monitor/AV amplifier, etc. (Supports DTS and Dolby Digital decoders)
• MULTI (NORMAL) ...Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from
an HDMI connector and you wish to have a DTS, Dolby Digital, or other decoder
connected to do the processing. (Speaker and other settings are not required.)
HDMI-supported monitor (Supports audio input for 2 or more channels)
• MULTI (LPCM) .........Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel output from an
HDMI connector and the connection point does not support a DTS, Dolby Digital, or
other decoder. (Speaker settings are permitted.)
NOTES:
• HDMI audio output settings permit the selection
of either 2 channels or multi-channels. A down-
mixed audio signal is only output from the analog
connectors (Left/Right and Front Left/Front
Right) of the DVD-3910. To output multi-channel
sound from the analog audio output connectors,
set HDMI to OFF, or select “2CH”.
•
When selecting “MULTI (NORMAL)” or “MULTI
(LPCM)”, the settings of “IEEE1394” and “DENON
LINK” under “DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” of
“SETUP” cannot be made. Neither can the settings
of “AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”,
“LCPM (44.1kHz/48kHz)”, “SOURCE DIRECT”, or
“BASS ENHANCER” under “AUDIO SETUP”.
• The HDMI video and audio output are both
turned off if the video output is set to “OFF” or
if “ALL OFF” is set. Also note that it will not be
possible to select the setting of digital output
when selecting “MULTI (NORMAL)” at “HDMI
AUDIO SETUP”. (See Pages 18, 19.)
• When selecting MULTI (NORMAL) or MULTI
(LPCM), the DVD-3910 speaker settings under
“AUDIO SETUP”become invalid.
•
When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI
connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond
the CD layer. Make an analog connection for this.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some
devices can control other devices via the HDMI
connector; however, the DVD-3910 cannot be
controlled by another device vice the HDMI
connector.
• When using display equipment that is not
supported by the HDCP (content protection
function), the image will not be output properly.
(See the compatibility table.)
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector
(including the sampling frequency and bit length)
may be limited by the equipment that is
connected.
A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High-
Definition Multimedia Interface) connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD video and other
sources, DVD video, and the multi-channel sound of DVD audio.
