Denon DBP-1610

 

The Blu-ray market is slowly populating itself with plenty of Blu-ray players to offer by all the same companies that specialize in DVD players, home theater systems and high definition televisions. Most of these manufacturers are reaching out to the...

This is a model that is recommended for people that solely want a Blu-ray player without the huge bells and whistles. While it is not considered a budget model, the Denon DBP-1610 does it right with the Profile 2.0 support, superb quality through HDMI...

Denon DBP-1610 Blu-Ray Player

 

I am pleasantly shocked. I bought this primarily for a second sound room (aka man-cave) that I'm building. I needed a good CD player primarily and thought decent video would be nice too. 99% of the plan was for audio, 1% for movie or concert DVD....

NIce!

At the current price ($325.00ish) the 1610 is a nice player with good Blu ray playback (same as their 2010) and pretty good SD dvd up conversion. I tested about 200 titles and it played them all! And I had no freezes to. For the money it is a good Blu...

Well built and attractive, but high price and low featureset

 

Well built and attractive, but high price and low featureset

One must wonder where the street price will land on these in a month or even weeks. In a competitive landscape where quality 7.1 analogues are below $300 (ie 320), lightning speed and quality upconversion are below $225 (JVC), and netflix and pandora...

Probably there're better cost-benefit blu-ray players out there, but this is a player for those audio quality is what matters. Video quality with blu-ray discs and DVDs are very good just like others in the market, but its audio quality thru its...

I love this product. All dvd's come to life. I am a huge fan of denon and cerwin vega. My stereo systen and surround is all denon and vega. I know it has a price tag, but you really get what you pay for. It is worth every penny.

Disappointing Audio Quality

 

Disappointing Audio Quality

I've been using the Denon 1610 for a couple of weeks now. The thing I noticed immediately when playing my very first blu-ray disk was the lack of "body" in the audio - even with uncompressed HD audio. The audio sounded a bit muffled, as if attenuated...

Denon DBP-1610 review

 

The latest Blu-ray player from Denon has a bit of a mean and moody streak

Good, natural-looking icture ; Audio erformance ; Great value

Picture not as unchy as some ; No analogue outs ; Slow menus on some discs

Denon DBP-1610

 

Another dependably good Denon AV product but falls short of the very best all-rounders

Good list of features; solid styling and build; easy to use; good insight, smooth motion

Lacks a little weight to sound and edges could be sharper; no multichannel outs

Product Specifications

Combining superlative performance and high value, Denon's affordable Blu-ray/DVD/CD player includes features and technologies found on the higher end models, such as HDMI source direct and 12 bit video processing. Standard definition DVDs never looked better thanks to i/p scaling and upconversion up to 1080p, along with digital video noise reduction to eliminate compression artifacts. The precision drive mechanism is center-mounted, and the chassis incorporates Denon's separated unit structure architecture, which separates key mechanical and electronic blocks into five separate sections to eliminate mutual interference. Equipped with an Ethernet port, the DBP-1610 features Blu-ray profile 2.0 BD-Live web-enabled interactivity, as well as firmware upgrade capability. The specification HDMI output provides highest resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD digital multi-channel audio compatibility, and the DBP-1610 is equipped with stereo analog outputs that feature high resolution Burr-Brown DACs for optimum audio purity. The DBP-1610 is able to handle a wide range of disc formats, including Blu-ray, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs, and features WMA, MP3 and DivxHD playback along with Kodak and Fuji picture disc playback capability for increased system flexibility.
