5-Disc DVD Video Carousel Changer
5-Disc DVD Video Changer with Progressive Scan
■Carousel Changer System
In the DVM-1815’s carousel changer system, any of the other 2 discs
can be replaced while one of the discs is in play.
■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 avail-
able only in the higher-end DVD players has been included in
Denon's affordable DVM-1815.
■ DVD-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-1815.
■ CD-R/RW (MP3/Windows Media Audio/JPEG/Kodak Picture CD)
Playback (*1)
The DVM-1815 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 com-
pression format rivalling the popularity of MP3.

■24-bit, 192-kHz D/A Converter for Optimum Sound Quality
■ Picture Zooming (x2 or x4)
During play, when you press the Zoom button on the remote control,
you can enlarge the picture by 2x or 4x. Use the cursor to move the
enlarged viewing area up, down, to the left, or to the right.

■2 MB Buffer Memory
This unit is equipped with a 2 MB buffer memory to ensure that both picture

■Color Component Video Output
The DVM-1815 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-1815's Aspect Ratio function converts the

images for output to 4:3 TV screens.
