From the Manufacturer
The DVD-1600 high-quality DVD player with 24-bit/192-kHz DVD-audio and progressive scan is designed to bring out the best performance of both pure audio and A/V sources. The Audio Only 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 bits and 192 kHz sampling. As a video player, the DVD-1600 converts video signals at the very high resolution of 10-bits and 54 MHz. The DVD-1600 also gives you a Headphone Virtual Surround feature that lets you enjoy the effects of Dolby Digital multi-channel sound through your headphones. Product Highlights:

Detailed Features:

Design for high-quality DVD audio sound: The Hi-Fi and digital technology that Denon has nurtured over its long years of experience has been tweaked to bring out the vast potential of DVD-audio.
- Audio Only mode: The DVD-1600 includes an Audio Only mode when playing DVD-audio sources to turn off the video circuit and ensure that noise does not affect the purity of the audio signal. The use of thoroughly tested parts ensures that the high sound quality is consistent and reliable.
- 24-bit, 192-kHz high resolution audio D/A converters: DVD-audio is capable of reproducing a stunning dynamic range of 144 dB (a theoretical value) over the vast sonic spectrum from around 2 Hz to nearly 100 kHz. To faithfully reproduce all of the incredible detail that DVD-audio has to offer, the DVD-1600 features 24-bit digital-to-analog conversion, with the ability to handle up to 192-kHz sampling frequency. This provides incredible dynamic range (theoretically nearly 50 dB more than CD) along with extended high frequency response (to nearly 100 kHz, compared to CDs 20 kHz high frequency limit).
Bass management: When playing multi-channel Dolby Digital, LPCM sources, it is possible to preset speaker configurations and delay times.
Cinema Voice mode: The Cinema Voice mode lets you raise the volume of just the dialog to adjust the balance between it and the other components of the sound such as the background effects. When you are watching a movie, for instance, this feature lets you hear the dialog more easily. The Cinema Voice feature works on the analog outputs with Dolby Digital-encoded DVD sources.
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.
Highest resolution 10-bit, 54-MHz video D/A conversion system: The DVD-1600 employs a 10-bit, 54-MHz video D/A converter.
3 MB buffer memory: This unit is equipped with a 3 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.
3 picture modes: The DVD-1600 provides Cinema mode and Custom mode besides the usual Normal mode for picture quality. Cinema mode expands your viewing experience by matching picture quality to the scene of the movie being played. When a dark scene appears, for instance, Cinema mode automatically detects the details hidden in the darker areas and makes them easier to see. It suppresses glare on CRT television tubes and recreates resolution with a graceful touch. User mode lets you adjust contrast, color, and brightness to improve picture quality according to your own liking.
Color component video output: The DVD-1600 provides color component video (Y, CB/PB, CR/PR) output that ensure the best reproduction of fine color detail with today’s high-end video monitors and large screen projectors that feature component video inputs. This connection method provides the best video quality compared to S-video and composite video connections.

New Model Information:

Aspect ratio function for correct image displays:
