It's as fresh as though it were just painted yesterday. 

That's what someone once said in praise of a 19th century masterpiece.  Denon believes the same can be said of music and video playback.  Live tone is the sensation of being there at the time.  This is precisely the freshness and reproducibility that Denon is after.  A famous performance of classical music, jazz amidst cacophony the relaxation of bossa nova,the fever of rock & roll, the adventure of movies, love, space, fantasies, and so on...  Works of art that continue to appear inexhaustibly on this Earth throughout time.  These moments of enxcitement come to us in the time capsules of CD, DVD and Blu-Ray disks, or over the internet.  Denon honour various creators by reviving those moments of time, as faithfully as possible to the producers' original intentions.  We live in an age where we can enjoy music or video images at home or carry them with us where ever we like.  130 years have passed since the invention of technology to record and play back sound.  Denon, too, has been on the scene for that same century.  For the sake of refreshing sound and video, and Live tone.  From now on, just as we have thus far, Denon will continue it's tradition of building greater sensitivity and better technology
