Denon DVD-3800BD Blu-ray Player

The DVD-3800bdci was the first piece that had great underground press. I had paid $1200.00 for a Sony BDP-1 I believe, and took it back the very next day, it could not do SD-DVD as well as my old Denon DVD-2910. Not too cool. I went through a series of...

It's upscale capability in SD-DVD is better then many $500.00 players in Blu-Ray, it uses the same Silicon Optix chip used in the DVD-5910ci.($3900.00) Blu-Ray is fantastic. The sound with hdmi is as good as I could hope for. Build quality seems above...

Money, a bit expensive. Had an early recall, 24fps. Denon service spotted other potential problems and are sending me a brand new A-stock DVD-3800BDCI. I guess that should be a pro? So I guess it's money. Firmware upgrades should be sent by mail with...

Denon DVD-3800BD Blu-ray Player

Let me start off by saying how horrible it is that you cannot distinguish DTS-HD HR from DTS-HD MA in the specs page. There is no such thing as "DTS-HD", but many CE manufacturers have continued this misnomer even in product literature. It is either...

Superb CD over analog, beautiful BD/DVD picture with Realta, decoding of all lossless codecs, solid construction

Does not decode DTS-HD HR, somewhat sluggish in response

So why do you have to pay $2K to own this Blu Ray player?? The simple answer is the two processors mentioned above for the most part.

Simply the best picture and sound over any other blu ray player

loading time could be improved! you can pop you popcorn while waiting for this thing to load

Denon DVD-3800BD Blu-ray Player

Denon DVD-3800BD Blu-ray player

If Denon's DVD-3800BD looks like it means serious HD business, that's because it does

Picture sound and build quality; Multimedia support

Lacks BD Live; Sluggish disc loading

But the look and layout of the setup menu is excellent, and it's been split into Quick and Custom modes so you don't have to wade through the entire menu to make basic changes. During playback you can call up a separate display to tweak the image to...
