1080/24p output, for maximum enhancement of film texture
  The DVD-A1UDCI is equipped with 1080/24p HDMI output functions to faithfully 
reproduce the realistic video images recorded on Blu-ray discs. When connected to 
a display supporting 1080/24p, users can enjoy Blu-ray video performance to its 
maximum effect with the texture of motion picture film. It is also possible to enjoy DVD 
at 1080/24p quality, giving the same motion picture texture to video images from DVD.
Denon Pixel Image Correction (D.P.I.C.), for more natural curvature 
correction
  The DVD-A1UDCI’s D.P.I.C. feature is an original Denon video enhancement tech-
nology for correcting high-definition images. This technology uses 10-bit processing to 
further improve detection and precision in the curvature correction of images. A new 
algorithm is used to sample and analyze a total of 9 pixels in the image data during 
enhancement that considers the effects of peripheral pixels around the target pixel. 
This enables very detailed detection and processing of the image at the pixel level in 
the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal direction. Image correction is possible not only for 
standard images from DVD but also high-definition images from Blu-ray discs.
Dual HD video output
  Dedicated scalers are provided separately for analog and digital images. Images 
can be output in the resolution of HD quality through both the HDMI output and 
component output ports.
Vertical Stretch (supporting the CinemaScope aspect ratio)
(*4)
  When video is played in the normal CinemaScope aspect ratio, a black band 
appears above and below the picture. Vertical Stretch vertically extends the picture so 
that it appears on the entire screen, allowing users to enjoy full-screen video.
Source Direct, to output disc content in its original resolution
  Source Direct allows video content to be output to the HDMI port in its original 
recorded resolution.
HDMI (ver. 1.3a, supporting Deep Color, High Bit Rate Audio output), 
for transmission of high-definition video and audio signals
Ease-of-Use
Easy-to-read and easy-to-operate G.U.I.
  The same G.U.I. that has earned high acclaim in Denon’s A/V surround receivers 
is also used in the DVD-A1UDCI. This G.U.I. offers operating uniformity with the A/V 
surround receiver, improving ease of use for the user.
Support “BONUSVIEW” functions 
  The DVD-A1UDCI supports “BONUSVIEW”, the interactive function that can display 
bonus video material on a subscreen. Artists’ comments and other video material can 
also be displayed on the subscreen while a BD-ROM is playing.
“BD-Live” ready
(*5)
  With the DVD-A1UDCI it is possible to download from the Internet such content 
as captions or bonus videos that are not recorded on BD-ROM. It is also possible to 
participate in games and other programs linked to bonus movie content recorded on 
BD-ROM.
Support for HDMI Control (Consumer Electronics Control)
  When a TV or player supporting HDMI Control is connected to the DVD-A1UDCI via 
a HDMI cable, it is possible to use the TV’s remote control unit to perform such opera-
tions as power on/off, function switching, and volume adjustment. (Note: Operation may 
not work with some connected devices or settings.)
Backlight for all remote control unit buttons
(*6)
  All buttons on the remote control unit can be 
backlit for easy operation in the dark.
