Denon DVD-1940CI DVD/CD/SACD/DVD-Audio player with 1080p video upconversion

The high-value Denon DVD-1940CI boasts more sophisticated video processing and more versatile high-res audio options than other players in its price class. Its advanced video processor removes the imperfections that can appear when film-based images are converted to digital video. The resulting picture is smoother, more natural-looking, and more filmlike. If your HDTV has an HDMI input, this player can upconvert standard DVDs to better match your set's high-resolution display. The '1940CI can even output video signals at 1080p to complement today's popular 1080p TVs.

Music fans won't be left out in the cold. This versatile DVD player lets you enjoy highly-detailed sound with Super Audio CDs and DVD-Audio discs. With Denon's digital bass management system, you can tailor the sound from these high-resolution audio sources to fit your system and speaker configuration. High-quality digital-to-analog converters give you exceptional sound from all of your music discs, including regular CDs and those loaded with MP3 and WMA files.
