Great DVD/CD combination, supports lots of formats!.......2002-01-17

Highlights: CD-R/RW, HDCD and MP3 compatibility (with a good user interface), fantastic pure CD player, has both PAL and NTSC outputs. I really like the HDCD compatibility, the sound from a HDCD disc is really better and warmer than from an ordinary CD. This player is probably the best deal for bucks if you are looking for a multiformat DVD/CD combination with an excellent CD part. The CD part of the specifications is really awesome, this player outperforms many dedicated CD players! I am using an (Monster) optical cable between the Denon and my Sony STR333ES and then Monster cables to Jamo Classic 10 speakers. All components are pretty synchronized and in the same price/quality range and everything sounds and looks (Sony Wega TV) great. The DVD picture is much better than with my old Sharp DVD player and the sound coming from DVD is simply non comparable at all. My unit is manufactured in September 2001 and DOES NOT HAVE THE FAMEOUS BLACK DOT RELATED TO THIS MODEL but the version of the firmware is the correct one and there are no any bugs mentioned on various Internet forums. The MP3 interface is very intuitive one and similar to a file system browser on any GUI enabled computer platform.

Great buy.......2001-10-12

To clarify, it does play VCD and SVCD perfectly, at least with the ones I've tried.
Great sound and vision, an excellent combination of DVD and CD-player.
And it does progressive scan in both NTSC and PAL, though you may have to flash it to get progressive PAL.
It's zonefree and plays RCE1 DVDs (with new firmware). Only complaint is that it shows only the 11 first characters of the MP3 filenames but how much can you ask for in one box at that price.

Superb, plain and simple........2001-10-10

I have had this for a couple of weeks now and I am very impressed with the unit.

Both video and audio quality is extremly good. It's so exact that MPEG artifacts are visible on low quality movies that doesn't show on other DVD players. I haven't noticed any jerkyness at all when watching DVDs. Most DVD players jerk when switching layer but this one doesn't.

On the negative side I have had some problems playing some of my own VCDs and it doesn't play SVCDs. But weigh that with the superb quality and MP3 capability it is definitly worth every dollar.
