DVD-Audio/Video & Super Audio CD Player
New model information
DVD Audio/Video & Super Audio CD Player features 1080p DMI scaling
The DVD-1940CI is endowed with technology to unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. The DVD-1940CI also
uses 12-bit, 216-M z 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-1940CI will reproduce with the highest resolution, DVD images on
Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors. In addition to these features, the DVD-1940CI’s DMI port supports multi-
channel DVD-Video and DVD-Audio output when connected to DMI 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.
• DMI Interface with Multi Channel Audio (*1) (480p/720p/1080i/1080p Scaling)
DMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncom-
pressed high-definition ( D) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in
all D formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. An all-digital, uncom-
pressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and
heard, direct from the source. DVD-1940CI 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 pro-
duce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. igh-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-1940CI.
The DVD-1940CI 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.
