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 increas­ingly 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.

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

inputs. This connection method provides the best video quality compared
