Feature List

• HDMI interface with multi channel audio
  HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats, including 720p, 1080i, and even 1080p. An all-digital, uncompressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source.
• Progressive scan
  Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it can proce3ss around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. High-definition video images are faightfully 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-757.
• Picture adjustment function
  Brightness/Contrast/Color/Gamma Correction/Sharpness
• DVD-R/RW playback
  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-757.
• CD-R/RW (MP3 / Windows Media Audio 9 / JPEG / Kodak Picture CD)
  The DVD-757 supports the CD-R/RW format. It plays finalized CD-R/RW discs (single-session or multi-session) containing MP3/WMA9 audio files. It also reads still photos in the Koda Picture CD or JPEG format taken by a digital camera. WMA 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 9, the quality of sound at 48 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original cD.
