| The Best of Everything |
The DVD955 is endowed with technology that will unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. It also uses two 12-bit, 216-MHz video D/A converters to faithfully preserve the delicate low-level signals often lost during D/A conversion. With these advanced video image technologies, the DVD955 will reproduce DVD images with the highest resolution on Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors. 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. | Entertaining The Possibilities | The DVD955 gives you the ability to play the latest in high quality audio formats. In addition to playing DVD audio and video discs, the DVD955 can play multi-channel Super Audio CDs (SACD) with a playback frequency range covering 100 kHz and a dynamic range of 120 dB or greater within the audible frequency range, and a maximum of 5.1 channels can be output. Basically, SACDs can hold about twice the information of regular CDs, and this player can bring out those musical nuances. The DVD955 also plays DVD-R and -RW discs, which is an important feature with the increasing presence of DVD recorders. If a friend or family member gives you a DVD-R disc they burned at home, you'll be able to watch it in the comfort of your own home. You can also play CD-R and -RW discs, including those containing MP3 and WMA9 audio files. You can even view still photos in the Kodak picture CD or JPEG format. As you can see, the DVD955 offers a wide variety of ways to keep you entertained. | Double Your Pleasure | An extremely high-speed video D/A converter is a critical component in superior quality digital video playback. Therefore, the DVD955 uses dual 12-bit, 216-MHz video D/A converters to ensure highly accurate playback of delicate, low-level video signals and give you a vivid picture that is faithful in every detail. Oversampling of 4x is used for Progressive and 8x for Interlaced video signals, allowing more detailed D/A conversion. Higher quality picture reproduction is also possible thanks to filtering with flexible shutout characteristics that is used for the analog filter in the latter stage. Furthermore, the DVD955 uses two separate video D/A converters to process Progressive and Interlaced signals. | Discrete Design | To ensure high-quality sound and video playback, all circuits have been given in a discrete design, a feature inherited from other high-end equipment. The audio and video circuits have been mounted on separate boards that are in complete isolation from each other in order to thoroughly suppress high-frequency video noise. The power section has been given a discrete design as well, with separate power units providing for the audio block, video block, and digital block, ensuring a clean, stable supply of power to all circuits. Interference among the circuits is thus thoroughly suppressed to produce high-grade playback with minimal noise. From basic design to ease of use, the DVD955 has been carefully designed in every detail to deliver superior playback performance. | You've Got To Hear This! | The DVD955 uses 24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A converters that are well protected from noise caused by fluctuations in current from the power supply. Since the level of quantization noise within the frequency range is uniform for all frequencies, this D/A converter ensures that all the sound you hear is as clear and noise-free as possible. A Pure Direct mode further improves sound quality. For example, during analog audio output, Pure Direct can turn off video signals and outputs and the front panel display which can easily influence the sound quality of the analog audio signals. | Let's Make This Perfectly Clear | The DVD955 features both HDMI (multi-channel) and DVI outputs with selectable 480p/720p/1080i output to help you get the best possible video signal delivered to your television. HDMI provides a particularly convenient connection that lets you transfer high quality video and multi channel audio through a single cable. Many HDMI connections today only transfer 2-channel audio. The HDMI connection on the DVD955, however, is cabable of multi-channel audio transfer. These digital video outputs, when combined with progressive scan technology and high resolution converters, makes for a vivid viewing experience. Progressive scan technology featuring DCDi by Faroudja 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. Built-in Dolby Digital | More Ways to Play | Denon didn't leave out any functionality details when building the DVD955. You can take advantage of the multiple audio, multiple subtitle, and multiple angle functions, depending on what a particular DVD offers. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) function makes it easy to access player and disc information on your TV screen by pressing the remote's DISPLAY button. The Marker function allows you to store up to five scenes in memory, so you can watch your favorite scenes whenever you want. You can even disable playback of DVDs you don't want your children to watch. | Included With Purchase | Remote control, batteries for remote, audio video cord, power supply cord, service station list, operating instructions. |
