Description:

Enjoy terrific audio-visual quality and multiformat convenience with Denon's DVM-715S 5-DVD/CD changer. The player offers a 12-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter (DAC); high-end Burr-Brown 24-bit, 192-kHz audio DACs; and progressive-scan video outputs with acclaimed DCDi processing by Faroudja. The carousel changer plays everything from DVD-Video media to video-mode DVD-R/RW and audio CD, CD-R/RW, as well as CDs bearing MP3 and WMA audio files and JPEG images. Kodak Picture CD offers even greater viewing flexibility, and there's even a 2 MB memory buffer to decrease layer-change pauses or pickup dropouts during DVD playback.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVM-715S stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

The DVM-715S also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The digital-audio output is configurable for 24-bit, 96 kHz PCM passthrough to compatible receivers and stand-alone DACs.

Other features include black-level control, picture zoom, discrete remote power on/off control, and remote in/out ports for simplified use with other Denon components.
