Superb, plain and simple.
By Rambris Fredrik
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.

Great DVD/CD combination, supports lots of formats!
By Mihailo Despotovic
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.

By M. Sharpe
I purchased this player this year, 2011, for a Cd player. I tried it out on a movie just to make sure it'd read the disc because I had read that it was faulty out of the box when it was new and was surprised at how good the picture looked, not as good as the 3910 but still very good even with component video interlaced. The Optical audio out was a little loose so it's a Cd player like I first planned but will most likely use it as a bedroom player or something later on.Pros:Big, heavy, well built like a tank.Nice big feet on the bottom.Heavy duty metal outer casing.You can't hear this player running when watching a movie.Very attractive, not much writing on the front.Not dinky! Big loading tray, over-sized probably. this player looks like it should be sitting in a rich person's house under a 90" plasma TV.Might fine picture and Audio for such an old player.Good sized remote easy to use.Metal face plate.These days a good price you can find them used all over Ebay.Removable power cord.Same exact width as all other Denon components and players.Cons:No headphone jack.No menu navigation on the player itself.A little noisy when loading a disc.On the remote the "enter" button is not in the center of the arrow keys like on other players.Remote can't turn the power all the way off just standby.No dimmer.Really the cons are fairly trivial but there they are. Like I said, this is a good player even though it's old the picture and audio are surprisingly good but I guess that's Denon.
