The Denon DVD-A1UD is Denon's Flagship Universal Player that plays not only Blu-ray discs but also all the formats of discs already in your collection, such as DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, and CD, with the impeccable picture and sound quality you'd expect from a digital disc.

The Denon DVD-A1UD supports bit stream output for Blu-ray disc lossless audio formats Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, as well as for DTS-HD Audio Master and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio. The new Denon DVD-A1UD is also capable of 7.1-channel analogue audio output, the maximum number of audio channels possible with Blu-ray discs. The beautiful sound quality of Denon Blu-ray players can be fully enjoyed even with A/V receivers that do not have an HD audio format decoder

For the ultimate disc playback accuracy, Denon's DVD-A1UDC universal DVD/Blu-Ray player sets the standard in state-of-the-art audio and video reproduction. Denon's exclusive design allows playback of popular high resolution audio formats such as SACD and DVD-Audio, and is BD-Live Ready (Firmware update available approx. Apr./09). With the Denon DVD A1UDC your CD collection will never sound better, thanks to Denon's new AL32 advanced digital audio processing, which upconverts conventional 16-bit CDs to full 32-bit digital format, virtually eliminating low-level harmonic distortion in the process.

For the Denon DVD A1UDC's pristine video quality, the Silicon Optix Realta HQV processor provides superb DVD deinterlacing and upconversion to HD, along with sophisticated picture improvement algorithms. Featuring balanced stereo analogue outputs, the Denon DVD-A1UDC universal DVD/Blu-Ray player is equipped with true 32-bit dual differential D/A converters for each channel, along with a full set of conventional analogue 7.1 outputs. The dual parallel HDMI outputs can also be assigned with HDMI Pure Direct Mode, with one HDMI output for audio and the other HDMI output for video with higher digital clocking accuracy and improved jitter control. For installation and configuration flexibility, the Denon DVD-A1UDC features RS-232C serial control, and BD-Live functionality via Ethernet connection.
