Nowadays, consumers are mainly looking for HDMI media players capable of playing back just about every type of file out there, and that's exactly what Denon's offering them with their DivX Plus HD Certified Universal players that enable the playback of DivX Plus HD video using the MKV container, providing consumers with the ultimate high-quality video experience at HD resolutions up to 1080p. Also available in Europe and Asia, Denon's new line of DBP-1611UD Universal players empower consumers to enjoy their personal and Internet video collections in the DivX format directly on their TVs.

DivX also makes it simple to load and playback digital videos in 1080p and Hollywood movies in DivX on the Blu-ray player's USB slot.

Key advanced DivX Plus HD features on the Denon player include support for as many as eight subtitle and audio tracks in a single movie file, smooth fast forward and rewind which makes it easy to navigate through a DivX Plus video, and auto chapter points, so users can skip between sections in a video when no chapters have previously been authored.

Additionally, the DivX Plus HD certification means that the respective devices will playback all previous versions of DivX video and DivX Plus HD video files with the .mkv file extension and AAC audio created with third-party tools.

All DivX devices contain proprietary digital rights management technology and are capable of playing back premium movies in the DivX format from major studios, and DivX also offers content providers and publishers a complete solution for the distribution of secure, high-quality digital video content.

"The new Denon DivX Plus HD Universal players will redefine how consumers enjoy HD movies and Internet video," said Matt Milne, Executive Vice President and General Manager, DivX.

"Our partnership illustrates how DivX Plus HD Certification is rapidly gaining momentum as the premier solution for unparalleled freedom to play full HD content beyond the computer," added Mr. Milne.
