Denon introduces 'entry-class' Blu-ray player at £400

Denon DBP-1610

Still, Denon hopes its Profile 2.0 DBP-1610 will have the spec and performance to justify its price. It supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, Deep Colour, x.v.colour, and 1080p/24fps video.

One area where Denon has paid particular attention is that of stereo playback for music. With an eye on those who wish to use their BD player as a step-up CD player, the DBP-1610 is equipped with a pure direct mode, dedicated stereo analogue output and high-quality Burr-Brown digital-to-analogue converters.

The Denon DBP-1610 will be available in black from October, and we'll be testing it soon.
