Aside from this it is a very good buy if you are looking for an upconverting DVD player that offers superb audio playback options and excellent picture quality. It plays SACD and DVD-Audio with equal clarity, it has bass management for each and extensive setup options. I also used the DVD playback on my Sony 36XBR450 TV set via the component conneciton. Rated 4 out of 5 due to the refusal to read perfectly well CD, albeit this only has occurred once.8/12/08 update, CDs will no longer play on this unit, since the unit employs a double laser reader I assume that the laser for CDs is either misaligned or defective. It does take a bit longer to read a disc as a result of these capabilities but it's not a big deal.
Suprisingly I have experienced an issue with the playback of a particular CD, the player refuses to read it for some reason. The picture was crystal clear and colors were concrete and vibrant, playback was steady. I purchased this product over one year ago because I wanted to utilize the SACD and DVD-Audio play back as I have an extnesive collection of each. However, as I said I purchased this for it's sound capability and I have not been disappointed. I purchased an extended replacement warranty however they will not repair the unit only refund.
This TV does not support 720P so everything the DVD was displayed at 480P. As a result I suggest if you considering one of these in the use market be careful there are a lot reports of this occuring to the 2910/955s.
I purchased it shipped for less than 302.00, but it is still not worth the pain. When it works, it works great, but most of the time, I have to wait on it to work right. My DVD-2910, is far superior, its a good unit vs. I have the DVD-2910 and I am returning the DVD-955S, I had them in seperate rooms of course. to load, sound drops out and any given moment. bad unit thing. My player (DVD-955S) has bugs, has a hard time detecting CDs, takes more than 10 secs. Good luck if you purchase.
So,I stop and replayed the dvd movie again and it freezes again within 5 minutes. Big disappointment,picture freezes after within 5 minutes. I returned it for a refund. First time owning a Denon product. When I first took it out of the box,it was heavy and after I hooked it up and popped in a dvd movie. Just ordered the Harman Kardon dvd47.Hope this one is trouble free. I was excited about this dvd player with so many features and got a great deal on it. Will not recommend this Denon player.
It is a 20+ lb. I have a 32" 1080i LCD TV. The initial setup was easy to me. The quality of video enhances the enjoyment of all my movies. The silver metal front panel gave the look of elegance. However, I got a very good deal for it was getting obsolete. heavy solid built DVD player with all the features and functions that I need: it plays SACD, DVD-A, HDCD, VCD, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW,.; it upconverts VCD and DVD videos to 1080i. The manual is for both DVD-955 and DVD-2910.
The sound of DVD-955S is yet to be reviewed with my high end stereo equipment. It assures me that DVD-955 and DVD-2910 are the same product under different model names. I only knew it was very pricy comparing to other popular brands. The touch and feel of the case and buttons was just as great as the look. I just did the fundamental connections and setup. It started playing immediately.
Viola. It just looks cool. I never had a Denon product before. I especially prefer the silver color with blue lights instead of the black color box. So DVD-955S is the one for me. When I open the box, I found a very high quality equipment in front of me.
But I have confidence that this piece of hardware will not fail me.
