DVD Audio/Video & Super Audio CD Player features 1080p HDMI scaling

The DVD-1940 is endowed with technology to unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. The DVD-1940 also uses 12-bit, 216-
MHz video D/A converter to faithfully preserve the delicate low-level signals often lost during D/A conversion. With these advanced video
image technologies, the DVD-1940 will reproduce with the highest resolution, DVD images on Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors.

In addition to these features, the DVD-1940’s HDMI port supports multi-channel DVD-Video and DVD-Audio output when connected
to HDMI compliant equipment. For sound, it is high quality audio D/A conversion and Digital Bass Management that will bring out the
best of not only Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio discs, but your entire CD collection as well.

• HDMI Interface with Multi Channel Audio (*1) (480p/720p/1080i/1080p Scaling)

HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p.

An all-digital, uncompressedsignal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source. DVD-1940 scaling circuit supports up to 1080p.

• Progressive Scan featuring DCDi by Faroudja

Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the
interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it can process around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details.

High-definition video images are faithfully displayed with optimum naturalness and beauty. Now, this DCDi technology that was available only in the higher-end DVD players has been
included in Denon's affordable DVD-1940.

The DVD-1940 has a feature of manual IP detection mode selection. Even if a DVD-Video disc was mastered with wrong progressive flag or without a flag, the user can select a mode (Auto1, Auto2, Video1, 2 or 3) to enjoy higher performance of picture quality.
