FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A BIT OF THE BUBBLY – NEW ENGLAND SPIRITS RETAILER SHAKES UP SALES WITH THE HELP OF THE DENON DN-V755
DIGITAL AUDIO/VIDEO PLAYER

— Customers at Wyman’s Liquors can now get instant pricing
on weekly specials and build a greater rapport with the store —

ITASCA, IL, December 19, 2007 — As part of an extensive renovation of its chain of retail outlets, Wyman’s Liquors, a well-known and successful brand in Massachusetts for over 80 years, called upon the Denon Professional DN-V755 Digital Audio/Video Player to achieve the chain’s owner’s goal of bringing in digital signage that would cost-effectively boost sales and increase awareness of the company’s offerings. The Denon DN-V755 has become a favorite in the digital signage market for its ability to store and playback a variety of file formats from its built-in hard drive, and those features have given the customer base at Wyman’s Liquors a whole new relationship with the store.

“The Denon DN-V755 has brought about a significantly enhanced shopping experience,” says Jacques Marchetti, President of Marchetti Engineering, the Boston-area company which developed and manufactures a proprietary remote control interface (SW-755) that plugs into the DN-V755’s parallel port and allows customers to navigate the content stored on the DN-V755’s hard drive. “While TV advertising draws customers into the stores, the bigger challenge is to sell more goods during those visits,” says Marchetti, underlining the benefit that the right digital signage can bring to the retail environment. Specifically, Wyman’s goal was to draw customers’ attention to weekly sales items and specials in a unique manner that engaged and informed the customer, and to do so cost-effectively, with low maintenance requirements and the ability for each store to manage its own digital content. That’s precisely the solution that the Denon DN-V755 offered. Now, Wyman’s Liquors customers get instant pricing at the push of a button, and with Denon’s intuitive software, Wyman’s can manage all of their signage content in-house, saving the company thousands of dollars. “That is a great return on investment,” says Marchetti. “The DN-V755 is the perfect solution for increasing customer awareness and taking the customer-store relationship to another level.”

The DN-V755 Digital Audio/Video Player features built-in software and is accessible from any web-enabled computer connected to the network. With a 40-GB* internal hard drive, the DN-V755 features Automatic IP search (DHCP, APIPA) and can play hours of DVD quality MPEG-2 video, along with MPEG-4 video and JPEG images. It also plays WAV, MP3 or MP2 audio at a variety of quality levels and includes Parallel remote control, Serial and Ethernet control, a real-time clock for scripted/automatic playback of A/V files, S-Video and Composite (RCA) video outputs and unbalanced (RCA) stereo audio outputs. And with the installation of a newly available firmware update, the DN-V755 can automatically load content via an FTP server from any location with an internet connection.
