    My Denon DVD 2900 review [long]

    I have now had the 2900 for about 1.5 weeks and previously had an RP-91 (which was stolen last Christmas). I have zero complaints about the video on the 2900 including Toy Story, etc. It seems to be as good if not better than the RP-91 by my eyes (it could be that my using a Samsung combo player...

    My Denon DVD 2900 review [long]

    Is anybody using this with a Marantz receiver yet? My receiver will cut the first fraction of a second off the music when in digital mode listening to CD's. Does anyone know if the Denon keeps a continuous signal rather than cutting the signal between songs so that the receiver will stay on and...

    Denon DVD-2900 may have chroma bug

    Jeff, the video was just fine on the RP 91. The audio was adequate IMO. Heck, if they could have just added SACD to the RP91 I would jump all over it.

    Denon DVD-2900 may have chroma bug

    Well, my RP91 was stolen at Christmas. I really have been wanting a universal player and knew about the 2900. I really thought they would have all the issues hammered out but he we are talking about the chroma bug and bass management. If these issues are not resolved I cannot see spending 900...

    Marantz Receiver with Denon DVD question

    It is my understanding that some players will keep a continuous signal to the receiver so it does not momentarily disconnect. With the Pana it was not a big deal but with the Samsung it sucks.

    Marantz Receiver with Denon DVD question

    At Christmas, my RP-91 DVD was stolen. THey left the Marantz 7200 receiver and I have been using a Samsung combo player until I can decide on another DVD Player. Right now it is between the Yamaha 2300 and the upcoming Denon 2900. One simple question, with the RP-91 on digital input listening to...

    My new Wega is scratched!

    I honestly doubt you could do a good repair. The bezel around the screen most likely needs to be replaced. I would have them agree in writing to cover expenses and have a have a repairman figure out the part you need a replace it.

    unofficial comprehensive list of universal (SACD/DVD-A) players...please add to list

    I think it would be to list the MSRP of the units. In that case: Marantz 8300--$1500 Onkyo DV-SP800--$1000 Yamaha DVP-S2300--$1000 I think there is a new Pioneer player to be release in June for under 300 also

    Review: Marantz SR7300 AV Surround Receiver

    Does it have more than one set of 5.1 analog inputs??

    replacing stock woofers in paradigm 7se mk2.. ideas&thoughts?

    I would suggest getting your existing ones rebuilt for a couple reasons (I have done this for my old Infinity Kappas) 1) Less expensive (even as compared to cheap woofers) 2) Maintains correct balance and acoustics as Paradigm intended.

    which speakers for a Marantz 90% music man?

    Maybe you could get a good deal on Paradigm Studio 20's.

    Multi channel SACD mega changer

    Maybe I will do just that. By the way when it comes to switching the 5.1 inputs do the radio shack switcher(s) work well. I know I will have to get off my butt to change it but it seems like the simplest plan. I just cant see spending $200 on the other one I have seen around here (unless...

    Multi channel SACD mega changer

    I appreciate your responses. I may break down and buy a 5 disc changer but I would much much rather have the mega. I wish the Marantz 8300 werent so high or I would trade my RP 91 in on it and get a regular mega changer.

    Multi channel SACD mega changer

    I already have the RP-91 for DVD A and V but I really want SACD but need a mega changer to hold my disks. Does anyone know if Sony will be coming out with a Multi SACD/CD megachanger (or any other manufacturer for that matter). Thanks

    What speakers do most directors/producers use fo movies?

    For their size, in my opinion Genelec sounds downright incredible. Would have bought them on the spot if budget allowed but 3500+/speaker was a little outta my range.

    Panasonic RP91

    I find that even in the "higher end" stores they dont seem to know a whole lot of specifics about DVD players. They all want to push the big names on you (like my dealer trying to get me to buy the Marantz over the RP-91 yet couldnt give me a coherent reason why other than the name).

    Studio 60 owners-Any problems with sibilance??

    Ive got 60's using a Marantz 7200 receiver. I originally had 12 guage Monster zipcord and they honestly seemed to sound very flat and I was considering switching speakers. I then hooked up Monster M1.4 biwire and these sounded awful at first particularly with Alison Krauss when she would hit...

    Marantz SRx200 owners, what speakers do you have or recommend?

    I am running Paradigm Studio series (60, 20, CC, 2200) with my 7200. Sounds great and agree that they are a good match. I have found that I dont have to monkey with the tone controls with this set up.

    2002 Best Outdoor Speaker?

    Boston Acoustics Grand Voyagers sound awesome. I did not want to spend that kind of money so I bid for some JBL S36AW on Ebay and won for something like $150. Sound great. Also bought some N24's for the shop and they sound great too.

    Panasonic Rp91 2.50 Firmware Update

    Someone was kind enough to post a link to a 236 iso file in the past. Do you think someone will do this for 250. I am having major problems converting the file (cant get programs to download).

    Panasonic Rp91 2.50 Firmware Update

    I have one of the first RP-91's. It has the original firmware setting (cant remember number). Will updating to the newest firmware also include the 236 changes or do I need to install the updates individually and in order?

    Unfortunately, I have not been able to as my dealer does not stock it since it is not a high demand item.

    Recs on best cd megachanger for my setup

    I tell you what would benice.....someone come out with a megachanger with multichannel SACD capability that also had a 5.1 analog passthrough input so you could also use an outboard DVD-A player if you had one (like my RP-91) without having to rig up some kind of switch.

    Recs on best cd megachanger for my setup

    Dont really have a budget persay. Have been looking at the Sony's but not the ES models (will look at them). Was thinking about the Marantz model but it really doesnt offer anything special for the price. Thanks for the suggestions!!

    Sony top is too narrow... center channel support?

    Its very easy to build a nice little shelf for the top of the Sony (I have a 51W40). Go to hometheaterspot.com and do a search.

    Which to get Studio 40's or 100's?

    What do you think about the idea of taking the money that would have been spent on stands for the 40's and get the studio 60's.

    Dances With Wolves- 2 disc DTS set for $24.99

    I wonder if these were just a bunch that Best Buy found or they have been re-released somehow. Has anyone seen this DVD recently outside of Best Buy. I was able to pick up a DD version at a local FYE store but they had no DTS at the time.
