I have a Denon DVD-2200 and every layer change is 100% seamless without a single exception. Unfortunately, the player is dying and I need a new one. I was recommended an Oppo player so I picked one up and while a few layer changes were indeed seamless, they were still there on most discs. I will be returning this player. Now I'm back to square one. I really can't find anything definitive on any player having this capability except the Denon 2200 and 2900 and those have been discontinued for years. Just about all the newer Denon's have half the memory of those and from what I gather, certainly don't have seamless changes.
I did some tests on the Playstation 3 and they were actually seamless with one slight exception but I can forgive that as I don't think the disc was mastered well. I suppose that solution is in the lead. I'm going to contact Denon to find out about possibly getting my 2200 repaired. Another solution is to just use my computer but that's likely more trouble than its worth. I'm just really dumbfounded how more than 10 years since DVD has come out this is a still an issue (even playing standard DVD's on HD players still have visible layer changes) and no one but myself cares about it.
If anyone else has any suggestions (besides "just live with it") I'd appreciate it.
