    At CES, I also asked if there would be any scaling ability, like the Panasonic RP-91 and the (sibling) Denon DVM-4800. The reply was no-but the picture quality was supposed to be so good that it would be awfully darn close. I must say the picture did look really good utilizing the Zoom mode on...

    I myself asked the Denon presenter at CES in January about SACD capability in the upcoming 9000 player. His reply was merely, "We are working on it but no promises." I took that as a definite 100%, absolute "maybe":D. He really made no commitment there and I remember distinctly hoping there...

    The answer to the numero uno question about this player is yes. There is a chroma upsampling error evident here but it is a mild one. The argument that a $3000 player should not exhibit this problem is a valid one. I did have to look pretty closely at my 9' screen to confirm this. We looked...

    Keith, Are you saying that you do not have DVD-A capability yet? I have only perused the music section of this forum, but it seems you are a frequent and very knowledgable poster there. New DVD-A titles are infrequent, but the ones that I have I really like. I have tremendous difficulty in...

    I installed a Denon DVD-1600 the other day and they were playing DVD-A without video with no problems whatsoever. When I came over to show them how to use the system with their new custom Pronto, they were pleasantly surprised to see that there were picture stills from the DVD-A displayed on...

    Sorry- No review yet. I do have these though: As you can see, it is pretty simple in design...but stylish. I hope to give it a thorough testing this weekend. The big things to watch for are chroma upsampling, and how non-anamorphic DVDs look on my 9' screen without the scaling of the...

    Yup- Guilty as charged..I am a dealer. I am an HT aficionado first though. I will pull no punches when I view this thing...as I did when I favored the RP-91 over the 2800 months ago. The connectors in the back for the analog outs are super heavy-duty! Sorry, I cannot divulge "how much it...

    This 40 lb. monster arrived at my door today and it is a beast. I will have to be patient and wait until the weekend to play with this thing. It is very elegant and simple looking. I guess all THX-certified equipment has an unpublished minimum weight and size requirement. More to come...I...
