The DVD-1740 offers “Near Full HD” upscaling of DVDs via an HDMI connection, progressive scan via component inputs, a clear front display, larger control buttons, and smooth, curved edges matching Denon’s 2008 Home Cinema receivers. There’s also DivX ULTRA functionality. Priced at £149.99.

The DVD-1940 universal DVD player offers upscaling to 1080p, utilising the Faroudja FLi2301 DCDi chipset, and comes with five Image Mode memories allowing the user to fine-tune picture quality to their own preferences.

The player also features additional circuit enhancements, offering discrete interlaced and progressive video digital-audio converters, and discrete high performance PCM-1738 Burr Brown Audio DACs. Priced at £249.99.

Both units come in either black or silver styling, and are available this month.
