Overview: The Denon DVD-1930CI is a single-disc, progressive scan, universal DVD player that will play DVD-Audio and SACD.

Multi-Format Player: The Denon DVD-1930 is a "universal" player, which offers playback of both ultra high-resolution multi-channel audio formats: DVD-Audio and SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc). Both formats, with their wide frequency responses, capture subtle details that make music sound richer and more real.

Disc Compatibility: This unit can play the following types of discs: DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Video CD, Audio CD, and Super Audio CD (SACD). In addition, this unit is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs, as well as MP3, WMA, and JPEG files recorded on CD-R, CD-RW or CD-ROM discs. According to the manufacturer, this unit can also play DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, although compatibility with these discs is not mentioned in the manual.

Automatic Detection of Discs: This player automatically detect if a loaded disc is a DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Audio CD, Super Audio CD, MP3, JPEG, or WMA.

Dual Discrete Video Circuit: The DVD-1930 uses a 12-bit 108 MHz video D/A converter for interlaced video and a 11-bit 216 MHz D/A converter for progressive video to ensure highly accurate playback of delicate, low-level video signals and give you a vivid picture that is faithful in every detail. One D/A converter is used to process Progressive signals and one is used for Interlaced signals to eliminate mutual interference between the two types of signals.

Digital Video Upconversion (Video Scaler): This unit features a built-in high quality video scaler that is capable of outputting video signals in a variety of HD formats. You may set the unit to output 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p video signals via the HDMI connector.

Component Video Progressive Scan Output With Faroudja's DCDi: The component video output can be set to provide progressive or interlaced signals. When set for progressive output, the DVD player provides 480p signals featuring Faroudja's patented Directional Correlational Deinterlacing (DCDi). This technology applies new motion adaptive deinterlacing that prevents the introduction of motion artifacts and jagged edges from video signals that originated from video cameras (such as with sporting events, live camera feeds and music videos). The result is a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. Video images are displayed with optimum naturalness and color reproduction with less flicker and fewer motion artifacts than traditional interlaced scanned pictures.

Audio D/A Converter: This unit has dual 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters.

Digital Audio Output Capabilities: You can select an LPCM output setting of On or Off. When On is selected and you are playing a DVD recorded in 96kHz, the signal is down converted to 48kHz/16-bit before it is passed through the digital outputs. When Off is selected and the unit is playing a non-copy-protected DVD recorded in 96kHz, a 96kHz/24-bit signal passes through the digital outputs. If the DVD is copy-protected, the digital signal is automatically down converted.

Speaker Configuration: To tailor the output of the 5.1-channel jacks to the bass handling capabilities and configuration of your speaker system, left and right front, center, left surround and right surround speakers can be set to "Large", "Small" or "None." The subwoofer can be set to "Yes" or "None." The speaker distances can be set between 1 and 60 feet in 1-foot steps. You can also adjust the output level for each speaker between -12dB and 0dB in 1dB steps.

Bass Enhancer: Set this function to "On" for sound output on the bass-woofer channel when a 2-channel audio source is played back. This function is effective only for the 5.1ch Audio Out jacks.

CI (Custom Integration): Custom Integration is Denon's certification to custom installers that models marked with the "CI" stamp have advanced connectivity and control features often required for custom home integration and theater applications using premium control systems.

2 MB Buffer Memory: This unit is equipped with a 2 MB buffer memory to ensure that both picture and sound are played without interruption when the DVD disc shifts from layer 1 to layer 2, or in the rare event of a pickup dropout.

Pure Direct Mode: The Pure Direct mode turns off the analog video signals, HDMI signal, and front panel display, resulting in improves sound quality.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control): The DRC function compresses the range of sound volume. This feature is available only on the discs that are recorded in the Dolby Digital format.

MP3/WMA Playback: This unit will play MP3/WMA files recorded onto CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 or Joliet formats.

JPEG Disc Playback: This unit will play JPEG files recorded onto CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 or Joliet formats. JPEG files with a resolution between 32 x 32 and 6300 x 5100 are supported. All JPEG files on a disc can be played back in a slide show. The slide show interval can be set to 5 or 10 seconds.
