Progressive Scan featuring DCDi by Faroudja
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. Now, this Faroudja technology that was available only in the higher-end DVD players has been included in Denon's affordable DVD1940CI.

The DVD1940CI includes a wide variety of playback functions, such as Resume Play, for returning to the Pause position on the disc after the playback was restarted, Slow Play, Repeat Play (A-B, Chapter, Track, Disc), Random Play and Program Play.
