Description:

Denon's DVD-755S DVD player offers first-rate video performance and multiformat media convenience for a surprisingly low price. The player will let you enjoy your recordable CDs filled with MP3 and Windows Media Audio files (including WMA 9) in addition to playing DVD-Video, recordable DVD (video-mode DVD-RW and DVD+R/+RW), and recordable CD configured for digital photo viewing (JPEG image CD, Kodak Picture CD, and Fujicolor CD).

For its video stage, the DVD-755S employs dual, discrete 54 MHz, 10-bit video digital-to-analog conversion (1 chip each for progressive and interlaced outputs), and its progressive-scan video outputs are powered by Faroudja's FLI-2301 DCDi decoding engine. 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 (appreciable on high-definition and HD-ready TVs). A 2 MB memory buffer decreases layer-change pauses or pickup dropouts during DVD playback.

Choose from a set of component-video outputs, standard composite- and S-video outputs, and a cutting-edge digital-video output: DVI-D (with HDCP, High-Definition Content Protection) with selectable 480p/720p/1080i resolution, another feature that's ideal for HD televisions and monitors, gleaning the best from your favorite discs.

The player uses Burr-Brown 24-bit, 192 kHz audio DACs (PCM-1756) for pristine sound from DVDs and CDs, and both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (1 each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection with your audio/video receiver.

Other features include anamorphic scaling for 4:3/16:9 sets, zoom control, black-level control (0 and 7.5 IRE), below-black PLUGE on progressive and interlaced outputs, and remote ports for hookup and operation in concert with other Denon equipment.
