The DCD-1400 compact laser disc player utilizes a unique DENON Super Linear Converter which prevents deterioration of sound quality in the PCM playback system, assuring accurate reproduction of sound record on compact laser discs, in the studio or in live sound production areas. The parts for this high performance disc player have been selected with careful discrimination, to produce high quality, realistic playback of the full musical production. (1) Double Super Linear Converter This unique, DENON converter system prevents the zero-cross distortion that causes deterioration in PCM reproduction quality. The result is perfect reproduction of concert hall quality.

(4) Digital OUT is an optical output device This device outputs information from a compact disc in digital form, making it possible to play music with an external digital processor or Digital-to-Analog unit. In addition to coaxial output, an optical output device is also provided, eliminating the interference of noise and improving audio quality. (5) Anti-vibration Consturction A double top cover, anti-vibration weighted bottom, sintered alloy insulators has been used to improve the anti-vibration effects.
