Denon's flagship DVD-5910CI merges time-tested Denon quality with high-tech innovations. Tipping the scales at over 40 pounds, this DVD player boasts pro-grade processing, advanced digital connectivity, and rock-solid vibration-resistant construction. Its THX® Ultra badge is a guarantee of superlative A/V performance — gorgeous, theatre-quality images and pristine sound.

State-of-the-art picture quality
Denon outfitted the '5910CI with several high-end technologies that are usually only found in professional video equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars. One of these is the Realta™ HQV chip, which incorporates broadcast-quality video processing from Teranex. The HQV chip delivers improved motion detection, and de-interlaces both film and video sources on a pixel-by-pixel basis for smoother playback. Plus, it accurately detects and corrects lines on a per-pixel level to effectively avoid "jaggies." No wonder the HQV chip was honored with a Best of Innovations award at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2005.

Other cutting-edge features include 10-bit Denon Pixel Image Correction, an ultra-sophisticated contour correction circuit. Plus, Anchor Bay Technologies' 10-bit Precision Video Scaling™ provides DVD video upconversion to 1080p, a rare capability in today's players. The combined result of all this advanced video processing is a dramatic improvement in your viewing experience. You'll enjoy clean, blur-free movement; true-to-life colours and contours; and deeper, richer detail — a videophile's dream come true.

Top-flight audio processing and connections
The '5910CI offers impressive sound quality for passionate music lovers, too. It uses five 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters — custom-designed for Denon by Burr-Brown — to bring out the delicate nuances of your favourite recordings. Play high-resolution SACD or DVD-Audio discs for a breathtakingly lifelike musical experience — close your eyes to hear the location of the instruments, and listen as your living room is transformed into an expansive performance space. And with two "Pure Direct" modes, you can switch off the video circuits, digital outputs, and fluorescent display, for unadulterated audiophile bliss.

The '5910CI leads the pack in digital audio connectivity, too. Rather than the six analog cables required by most multichannel music players, this player lets you send DVD-Audio, SACD, and CD signals to a compatible component via its Denon Link output. It can also pass DVD-Audio or SACD signals digitally using either of two IEEE 1394 outputs, and DVD-Audio via HDMI. (Denon's state-of-the-art AVR-5805 receiver enables all three digital connection types.) These single-cable connections simplify hookup and ensure clean, noise-free signal transfer.

Superior build quality
Denon wraps all of this sophisticated technology in an ultra-sturdy, four-layer chassis. This rugged design suppresses even the smallest performance-robbing external vibrations. Inside, a discrete four-block design eliminates mutual interference between circuit boards to ensure pure, pristine picture and sound.
