Denon brings high-end Blu-ray machine on the market
Denon, the high-end AV manufacturer, has unveiled what it is claiming is a true "high-end Blu-ray source", the DVD-2500BT, with a pricetag of £900.
The manufacturer describes the deck as a transport system, meaning it concentrates on reading the Blu-ray disc, without decoding it. It outputs video and digital audio signals via a version 1.3a HDMI port, supporting Deep Colour and 1080/24p output for a full cinematic experience. It means that the DVD-2500BT doesn’t house any onboard decoders, so interested consumers will need to invest in a separate AV receiver.
According to Denon, the machine features a unique drive mechanism specifically developed for use with Blu-ray discs. Denon also improved its mechanism unit from previous DVD players by adding a shield to the bottom and top of the unit. The machine plays MP3s and DivX certified media through the player.
The DVD-2500BT will available now in three colour versions: black, silver and premium silver.
