■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 DVD-910.
■ DVD-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 DVD-910.
■ CD-R/RW (MP3/Windows Media Audio/JPEG/Kodak Picture CD)
Playback (*1)
The DVD-910 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.
■54 MHz High Resolution Video D/A Converter
■24-bit, 192-kHz High Resolution Audio D/A Converters
■ 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.
■ A Wealth of Playback Functions
The DVD-910 includes a wide variety of playback functions, such as
Resume Play, for returning to the Pause position on the disc after the
playback was restarted; Slow Play; Repeat Play (A-B, Chapter, Track,
Disc); Random Play, and Program Play.

■ Slim and Compact Design with Aluminum Front Panel
The DVD-910 features a slim, compact design only 75 mm in height,
and the front panel is made of strong, high-grade aluminum. When
combined with a Denon A/V surround amp of uniform design, the
matching front panels give a touch of elegance to any decor.
■Color Component Video Output
The DVD-910 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.
■Matching navigational controls are provided on the front panel
as well as the remote control unit.
An arrow keys for 4 directions are provided on the front panel as well
as the remote control unit. This is convenient for making menu and set-
up adjustments directly on the main unit when the remote controller is
out of reach.
■2 MB Buffer Memory
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.
The DVD-910 is designed to bring out the best performance of A/V sources. The DVD-910 converts video signals at very high resolution.

■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 Progressive TV monitor, the DVD-910's Aspect Ratio function con-
verts the images to the correct aspect ratio so that you can enjoy high-
quality Progressive output on your screen. This function also converts 16:9
images for output to 4:3 TV screens.
■Icon Based On-screen Display
A simple press of the Display button on the remote controller lets you see
the current operating status of the DVD-910 within an easy-to-read display
on screen. The various operations and settings are easily changed using
the remote controller while monitoring the screen display.
