The DD-7040, in addition to all the features of the DD-6040, also includes DVD-Audio, with both six channel and Dolby Digital 5.1 output. The DD-8040 has all the features of the DD-7040 coupled with the Faroudja DCDi video processor. The DD-6040, DD-7040 and DD-8040 have a suggested value price (SVP) of $179, $249 and $299, respectively.

“We are pleased to introduce this line of DVD players which not only feature progressive 480P output as a baseline, but also include such key consumer features such as digital photo viewers and `ripped’ audio player capability,” said Max Wasinger, senior vice president of sales and marketing.

“And to meet today’s digital television recording needs, the HDTV Digital Recorders, which simply and easily record from the FireWire (IEEE1394) connections found in the best home theater systems, are the solutions of choice,” he noted.

“The Faroudja DCDi video processor found in the DD-8040 provides silky smooth video images and fluid motion without artifacts, an expensive circuit normally reserved for extraordinarily expensive DVD players,” said Robert A. Perry, vice president, marketing. “And since we are still several years away from an optical HD home recording solution, our Digital VHS recorders are not only the best HDTV recording value, they are the only HDTV home recording technology available today,” he added.

Disney Plus Free Trial: Can you stream for free in 2024?
Disney+ app on the iPad Air 5.

There is currently no Disney Plus free trial. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. In fact, there hasn't been a Disney Plus free trial for many years. But all is not lost. While you can't get Disney Plus for free, there are quite a few very cheap options. We list all of the tiers and options below: Everything from the $8 ad-supported tier to the $25 Disney Bundle Trio, which includes ad-free Disney Plus, ad-free Hulu and ESPN+. Occasionally Disney has a deal that gets you three months for $6 total, but that's not available right now. We'll keep you updated if it ever comes back.

The best and most reliable way to save is through the Disney Bundle, which sees ESPN Plus and Hulu thrown in for just $15 a month. On their own, Disney Plus is normally $8 per month, Hulu is $8, and ESPN is $10, so this is a great deal.  If it sounds good to you, you should start your subscription now. The price of the Disney Bundle increased to $15 on October 12, 2023.
