New model information
• HDMI (*1) output (480p/720p/1080i/1080p Scaling)
HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncom-
pressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in
all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. An all-digital, uncom-
pressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and
heard, direct from the source. DVD-1740 scaling circuit supports up to 1080p.
• Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan technology represents a cast improvement over the inter-
laced scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applica-
tions, 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.
The DVD-1740 has a feature of manual IP detection mode selection. Even if a DVD-
Video disc was mastered with wrong progressive flag or without a flag, the user
can select a mode (Auto1, Auto2 or Video) to enjoy higher performance of picture
quality.
• Picture Adjustment function
Brightness/Contrast/Colour/Gamma Correction/Sharpness
• DVD-R/RW Playback (*2)
With the spread of DVD recorders, consumers are increasingly recording TV
programs onto DVD discs. These discs can be played back on the DVD-1740.
• CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW (MP3/Windows Media Audio/JPEG/
Kodak Picture CD) Playback (*2)
The DVD-1740 supports the CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW formats. It plays
finalised CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs (single-session or multi-session)
containing MP3/WMA9 audio files. It also reads still photos in the Kodak
Picture CD or JPEG format taken by a digital camera. WMA (Windows Media
Audio) is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology. It
claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry. If WMA is
used to compress a music CD on a PC, for instance, using the new Encoder 8,
the quality of sound at 48 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original CD.
