Feature List
- HDMI interface with multi channel audio
HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats, including 720p, 1080i, and even 1080p. An all-digital, uncompressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source. - Progressive scan
Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the interlaced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it can proce3ss around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. High-definition video images are faightfully 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-757. - Picture adjustment function
Brightness/Contrast/Color/Gamma Correction/Sharpness - DVD-R/RW playback
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-757. - CD-R/RW (MP3 / Windows Media Audio 9 / JPEG / Kodak Picture CD)
The DVD-757 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 Koda Picture CD or JPEG format taken by a digital camera. WMA 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. - 24-bit, 192-kHz high resolution audio D/A converters
- VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)
Enjoy envoloping surround sound using just one pair of speakers. - Discrete remote control commands for Power On/Off
- Picture zooming (x2 or x4)

- 24/96 PCM digital output capability
- Icon based on-screen display
A simple press of the Display button on the remote controller lets you see the current operating status of the DVD-757 within an easy-to-read display on screen. The various operations and settings are easily changed using the remote controller while monitoring the screen display. - 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. - Auto power OFF

This unit has been great so far. Plays DVDs and Audio CDs perfectly, all formats. Will NOT play computer files, that is the only draw back. Remote and menus are well designed.

Excellent upconverting dvd player for the money. I was going to take this back after hooking it up for the first time since the picture was no better, actually worse than my Samsung dvd player. Take the time to really adjust all the parameters including sound, picture size, contrast, color etc before you form an opinion. I spent better than an hour maybe close to two hours setting up and tweeking, and finally got a picture that is superior to my old Samsung, using movies such as "A Night at the Museum", ... Read More

For the price you cannot beat it. I am not going to get a blu ray until the price comes down and with this being HDMI compatable it was a no brainer. Very easy to use, really just plug and play!

Just picked up this player and have been happy so far. It's hooked to a 720p DLP TV via HDMI, with optical out going to a surround sound receiver. I read a review elsewhere complaining that the picture was rather washed out. I noticed the picture was a bit soft and created a profile on my TV that adjusts the contrast, brightness, and color, and the results are fantastic. If your TV does not support multiple profiles, the DVD player itself allows you to adjust all of these settings, so you should be able ... Read More

Thinking I could find a better upscaling DVD player than the Oppo 971H to pair with my 1080i CRT display if I spent a few more bucks, I bought the Denon DVD-1930CI. There was a lot to admire about the Oppo, but paired with my three-year-old DVI-compatible display it produced too much edge shimmer in scenes where the camera pans over fine horizontal lines.The 1930CI was better in this regard and outperformed the Oppo in the audio department. I sent the Oppo back, but continued to research the edge shimmer ... Read More
