Denon Brings HDMI 1.3 to Homes in Mid 2007
I’ve been waiting for news like this for a long time. Denon is going to be bringing HDMI 1.3 capable receivers to the market in the form of their 2007 lineup, due in mid 2007. These receivers will accept and switch 1080p signals. They will also support 36-bit deep colour, and some will include video processing by Silicon Optix, Faroudja, and Analog Devices.
And the coolest thing of all? High-end models will finally be able to decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master soundtracks from your beloved HD DVD or BD discs! Yay! This is the first such announcement I’ve seen.
If you’re a big Denon fan, though, you might be disappointed to hear that they still have no plans for to release a BD or HD DVD player anytime soon.

As a long time Denon enthusiast, I am VERY excited about this! It seems that over the last 5-10 years, Denon has really just “got it” when it comes to all the codecs, connections and useful features!
