2000 marked the 90th anniversary of Denon
and its parent company, Nippon Columbia Co.,
Ltd. Throughout its history, Denon’s
professional-use, consumer-use equipment and
software products have long been
internationally recognized for their
originality and high standards of quality,
durability and innovation. To celebrate its
anniversary, Denon launches the world’s
first DTS-ES Discrete A/V component, the
AVC-A1SE. The DTS decoding option provides
digital discrete surround-back channel for
even better sound separation.
In 2001, Denon launches the first Mini 5.1
A/V system complete with NXT flat-panel
speakers and sub-woofer, the AV-F100 and the
first DVD player with Silicon Images
Progressive Scan processing, the DVD-2800.
In 2002, a new era for digital connections
is formed with the introduction of the DENON
LINK technology, which enables high-speed,
high-grade, multi-channel digital signal
transmission. The first product to
incorporate the new DENON LINK technology
was the AVC-A1SR and the DVD-A1.
In November 2004, Denon UK previewed the new
DVD-A1XV high-end DVD player at the What Hi-Fi
Show in London. This event became the world
launch for this player, the first consumer
product anywhere to incorporate the HQV
(Hollywood Quality Video) "Realta" processor
from Silicon Optix. Following three years of
collaboration between Denon and Silicon
Optix, this technology is based on the
original Teranex USA HDTV broadcast-standard
processor costing over $60,000, now
incorporated into a single chip. The
comparisons at this show demonstrated how
standard DVD discs can produce smooth, clean
high-definition images with amazing depth,
clarity and detail.
Today, Denon continues to introduce the most
innovative audio/video products with the
latest technologies, superb craftsmanship
and the leading performance worldwide. The
company is one of the world’s most
diversified specialist audio and home
theater providers who offer consumers and
professionals with breathtaking sound and
images, superior reliability and unrivaled
convenience features
