The 3800 is having severe lock-up problems. I am also very interested in this player but on the AVS forum approx 90% of the owners reporting in have returned the player due to lock-up issues. Thought you should know. Mark
I have to say I thought the 47a's build quality was no where NEAR typical Elite products and am still trying to figure out how it got an Elite badge. This unit had the build quality and look of a $150 player in my opinion.
I returned my unit because it was buggy.
If it was my money I would either buy a much less expensive TV until the dust settles or just wait and see. I completely understand your frustration, a few friends of mine have asked me the same question and my reply was the same. Sad thing is the sales reps at the local HI-FI shops still don't...
One of the discs was the Hilary Hahn, The other was Herbie Hancock.
Keith-One of the primary reasons I went with the 555ES was the tremendous reviews I read including yours.
Does anyone know about the Sony switcher for 6 channel analog inputs as I only have one set on my Denon 5700.
I...
I was disappionted.
I purchased the 47A on Friday and spent most of the evening hooking it up. DVD Video/Audio was good. Redbook CD was ok at best, and SACD only played 1 out of the 3 discs I bought!
It didn't even recognize the SACD format when the drawer closed, just spit back out. So I...
I am pretty close to pulling the trigger on this player so I would like all who have it to answer this one question-After owning and testing the player would you purchase again?
Thanks again for all your help!!
jaleelk,
I will be using the Denon 5700 so I only have one 5.1 input.
I completely agree with waht you are saying, especially the limited software.
I went to Best Buy today and was amazed they only had 3 SACD multichannel discs and about 10 DVD-A discs. And...the SACD MC discs were $32...
I have the same delima, I am thinking of seperates(555es and Denon 4800) buthave got a fair price on the pioneer-$850 with no intrest financing for 1 year.
Howver, I also have the opportunity to pick up a 555es @$600.
I went to several stores this evening and could not find anyone that had a...
James,
I thought I read somewhere that the DV-47A did not utilize DSD therefore was inferior to most SACD players. Is this accurate? Also, does the dvd video have any chroma bug issues?
What can I expect to pay for the unit?
I would like to buy a DVD-A/SACD combo player because my Denon 5700 only has one set of analog inputs. The only 2 players I am aware of is the Pioneer elite DV-47A and the Marantz. Does anyone have these players and what is your impression, and does anyone know of anymore out there. I want to...
I have a 61" Hitachi Super Ultravision and have the same problem. When I contacted Hitachi they said since the prtective screen is so thin that in bright light I would notice this. But since I have a dedicated room it doesn't affect me too often.
I have read several reviews on Denons DVD players and they seem to be some of the best on the market for their price point. Go to Denon website and check out ththeir new THX Ultra player, I believe it is the 3000 model, it has full digital bass management for DVD-A which is the first I have...
