Denon Electronics has announced that they will be introducing the world's first "universal" Blu-ray player.
The BD-Live capable DVD-A1UCDI will retail for $3800 USD when it ships in two months and will support DVD Audio, SACD along with standard DVDs and CDs.
Users can use an SDHC memory card to play files in popular formats such as WMA, MP3 audio, DiVX 6 video and JPEG images. A "built-in audio-restorer function improves the quality of compressed music."
The 4th-generation Link port means the player will integrate with any Denon amplifier.
As for inputs, there are a pair of HDMI 1.3 inputs, component video, S-video, composite video, optical and coaxial digital audio, balanced two-channel stereo analog audio and an Ethernet port.
The player also notably supports Dolby TrueHD decoding and DTS-HD Master Audio, each with full analog 7.1-channel audio.
