Denon DVD 1200 - DVD player (discontinued)

Denon DVD 1200 - DVD player

Entered CNET Catalog: 09/09/2003

SKU: DVD-1200

Manufacturer: Denon

Manufacturer description

The DVD-1200 is designed to bring out the best performance of both pure audio and A/V sources. The Pure Direct mode allows the audio signal from DVD-Audio sources to maintain its purity as it bypasses the video circuitry and is D/A converted at the very high resolution of 24-bit, 192-kHz sampling. As a video player the DVD-1200 converts video signals with high resolution utilizing video D/A conversion at a bit depth of 10 and a sampling frequency of 54-MHz. Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it can process around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. High-definition video images are faithfully 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 DVD-1200. The DVD-1200 supports the CD-R/RW format. It plays finalized CD-R/ RW disks (single-session or multi-session) containing MP3/WMA8 audio files. It also reads still photos in the Kodak Picture CD or JPEG format taken by a digital camera. WMA (Windows Media Audio) 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 8, the quality of sound at 48 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original CD. WMA is now becoming a standard audio compression format rivaling the popularity of MP3.

Another bad Denon Product

Pros: This unit has a great picture, good features, and is easy to use.

Cons: This is my third Denon product that I have returned for the same reason. I bought a 910 first and the picutre was jittery and the top of the screen waved in the Progressive mode. It was fine in the Interlace mode. I returned that 910 for another and had t
