Product Description

Amazon.com Product 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.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries (2 AA), a user's manual, a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, an AC power cord, a service-station list, and a warranty card.

This review is from: Denon DVD-755S Progressive Scan/Scaling DVD Player (Electronics)

The Denon DVD-755S model is identical to the Denon DVD-1910, except the 755S is silver and the 1910 is black. I have a review of the 1910 which applies equally to the 755S, since internally the two models are totally the same. (They even share the same user's manual.)
