Progressive Scan featuring DCDi by Faroudja
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, noisefree 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 affordable DVD-756. The DVD-756 has a feature of manual IP detection mode selection. Even if a DVD-Video disc was mastered with wrong progressive flag or without a flag, the user can select a mode (Auto1, Auto2, Video1, 2 or 3) to enjoy higher performance of picture quality.

DVD-R/RW Playback (*2)
CD-R/RW (MP3 / Windows Media Audio 9 / JPEG / Kodak Picture CD) Playback (*2)
With the increasing presence of DVD recorders, consumers are increasingly recording audio and video material onto DVD discs. These discs can be played back on the DVD-756. The DVD-756 supports the CD-R/RW format. It plays finalized CD-R/RW discs (single-session or multi-session) containing MP3/WMA9 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 9, the quality of sound at 48 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original CD.
