The Denon DVD-A1UD Will Play Any Optical Disc

First it was cassettes versus CDs, then came the CDs versus DVDs, and then the high-density format war and frankly, none seemed to have a certain win over the others. Of course, we can definitely say that some have lost, and here we're speaking about our old and trustworthy cassette. Yet, the battle rages on and there still is no predictable future. Or at least was, because Denon have decided to stop beating around the bush and announced their mighty DVD-A1UD, the first tool of its kind, capable of reading any industry standard optical disk.

No more worries for those with their multimedia library stored on CDs, or DVDs or anything else: you need not buy a heap of gear to be sure you'll have instant access to your files.

The Denon DVD-A1UD can handle Blu-ray, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, and CD and this means that there isn't a standardized optical disk that will floor this nifty player, save for the irreparably damaged ones. Denon went even more ahead of their time and endowed this player with a lot of high-tech capabilities rendering it both feature-loaded and uber-functional.

With the addition of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, you're set for an enthralling Blu-ray experience, unleashing the full potential of these discs. At the same time, the Denon DVD-A1UD is ready to let you enjoy the most from the Web-based interactive features of modern media. You will get twin HDMI 1.3a outs, allowing you to benefit from the awesome picture quality on two distinct terminals such as flat panel TVs and projector.

A professional balanced output for the audio signal is also present and will make interconnecting your Denon DVD-A1UD with the rest of your audio gear easy and secure, with minimal impact on sound quality. This amazing tool is expected to be launched in Japan in January, with a good chance to hit the US market in February, for a price around $3,800.
