Denon DVD-2910

Pros: CDs sound like DVD-A and SACD discs!, Multiformat Player, Build Quality and Appearance

Cons: Mediocre Video Quality, Slow response time, Possible SACD problem, Doesn't play DIVX discs

The Bottom Line: Want a musical DVD player. This is it, with some reservations.

Review: I have to say, this is perhaps one of the oddest DVD players I have ever owned...as inspiring as it is frustrating. Thinking of buying it, then read on.

AUDIO

First, lets take the audio performance...

Pros: Does everything so right.

Cons: Complicated for the casual user. Seem's pricey until you use it and see why.

The Bottom Line: With HD-DVD just around the corner this is probably the best mid-range universal we're ever likely to see.

Review: Unlike the first reviewer, I only have good things to say about this unit.

My first universal was Samsung's DVD-HD841. Now that did have problems. The picture quality was ok but DVD-Audio discs and SACDs kept cutting out while playing. I...

Pros: Solid Audio features. Plays almost all formats. Solid Video features. Plays almost all formats.

Cons: So far none.

The Bottom Line: Go for it and it would not disappoint you.

Review: I have purchased the silver color version of this DVD player in March 2005. The link for Denon Website is http://www.usa.denon.com/catalog/products.asp?l=1&c=4#PID764. So far there is no complain and actually I love this player. It is one of the...

Pros: Impressive sound quality in 2 channel

Cons: Problem w/ playing SACD.

The Bottom Line: As mentioned earlier, before buying make sure the SACD playback works, if that is important to you.

Review: I purchased a DVD-2910 a couple of months ago. I was impressed w/ the build and the audio quality of the unit as noted by the other reviewers. However, I was disappointed at the SACD performance of the unit. I connected the player to a Denon...

Pros: Great picture.

Cons: Possible sound sync problem - 200mS delay. Aspect ratio control buried.

The Bottom Line: Not worth the premium price unless the sound-sync problem can be fixed. Get the Samsung 841, or perhaps the 941.

Review: My third upsampling DVD player for review. See also Samsung 841 (http://www.epinions.com/content_178440343172), and Toshiba 5970 (

Pros: Does it all, with no real problems.

Cons: Very Honda-like. Nothing bad, and everything fine, but nothing excellent, except maybe the DVD Audio.

The Bottom Line: Want a universal player with every possible feature, this is on the list.If you are searching for that excellent jaw dropping picture, even upconverted, you will be disappointed.

Review: Video: Agree with the other reviewer that the DVD picture is very uninspiring. No better than my Technics DVD-A10 or Sony NS700. I was VERY disappointed that the DVI to DVI picture was no better than the component connection, and worst of all,...

Pros: Sensational pictures, top quality build, nice sound.

Cons: None as yet, but its early days.

Review: I had spent nearly 6 months monitoring the market for audio visual equipment for a new home cinema system. After viewing a number of DVD players I took the plunge for the Denon 2910. I had it up a running for 2 weeks now and I'm delighted with my...

Pros: none

Cons: My last experience with Denon or DBUYS.

Review: New Denon 2910 DVD player defective out of the box. Plays all DVDs for 10-90 seconds and skips back to the opening menu. Purchased from DBUYS who will not replace. Outrageous!

Pros: I could have lived with the picture I got (component output)

Cons: Two samples had noise on sacd

Review: I wanted a dvd player that could also function as a back-up sacd player for my older high end Sony player. The Denon produced a very smooth and subtle image from dvds, and at first seemed to do audio well in all formats. But I soon started to note...
