■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 DVM-715.

■DVD-R/RW/+R/+RW Playback (*1)

With the increasing presence of DVD recorders, consumers are increas- ingly recording audio and video material onto DVD discs.

These discs can be played back on the DVM-715.

■CD-R/RW (MP3/Windows Media Audio/JPEG/Kodak Picture CD) Playback (*1)

The DVM-715 supports the CD-R/RW format. It plays finalized CD-R/RW discs (single-session or multi-session) containing MP3/WMA8 audio files. It also reads still photos in the Kodak Picture CD or JPEG format taken by a digital camera. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology.

It claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry.

If WMA is used to compress a music CD on a PC, for instance, using the new Encoder 8, the quality of sound at 48 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original CD. WMA is now becoming a standard audio compression format rivalling the popularity of MP3.

This unit is equipped with a 2 MB buffer memory to ensure that both picture and sound are played without interruption when the DVD disc shifts from layer 1 to layer 2, or in the rare event of a pickup dropout.

■Color Component Video Output

The DVM-715 provides color component video (Y, CB/PB, CR/PR) output that ensure the best reproduction of fine color detail with today’s high-end video monitors and large screen projectors that feature component video inputs. This connection method provides the best video quality compared to “S”-video and composite video connections.

■Aspect Ratio Function for Correct Image Displays

When you want to view video images with an aspect ratio of 4:3 on a 16:9 TV monitor, the DVM-715's Aspect Ratio function converts the images to the correct aspect ratio. This function also converts 16:9 images for output to 4:3 TV screens.
