Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
BWfreak,This thread is entitled Denon 3910 opinions, and the ones at AVS are as valid as any, especially on the video side of things.There are quite a few posts on failure to read dvd's, sa-cd's, dvd-a's, slow reaction time, and a few layer change... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
I don't know how you can say I, am wrong, as I have not tried the 3910, but plan to.For being a new model, there are far too many complaints on the 3910 imo.Denon has already mentioned the fact that there is a problem whith the 5900 whith macro bl... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
Sean, the 5900 would have, and does have a better image if you take the excessive artifacting and macro blocking out of the equation.In other words if you have a reference transfered dvd, the 5900 will look better than the 2900, and if the dvd is ...

bwhite, you are making an as* of yourself, the lockup was his 480p plazma display, and has nothing to do whith the player itself.mattepntr, works in the film industry, knows exactly what film is supposed to look like, and absolutely loves this pla... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
Who cares what junior has to say, the fact is that every pro and every personal comparison of the Onkyo as compared to all other top notch universals, has the Onkyo on top, and in my set up, it is flawless.Again,every problem you mention can be at... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
The head and toe room cliping is the same exact problem whith hdmi/dvi connections have on EVERY player made.I looked through every post and there are NO other reported problems, and no transport/disc reading problems from the Onkyo/Integra univer... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
Like I said already, ALL players have a hdmi/dvi handshake problem bar none, so what is your point already.Perhaps you can reference the actual thread/user name of this person with disc reading problems, as I can't seem to find it.Any way, none of... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
You are right,about macro blocking being part of the dvd mastering,nobody will argue that, but Denon issued no fix for this, at least none that worked.You would think that they would notice this while doing r&d for the original culprit, the 59... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
bwhite, the hdmi problem is universal whith all players when you use a hdmi/dvi adaptor, but this is something that is seen on a test disc more than actual video, and my newly ordered pj, has hdmi so its a moot point for me regardless. Even though...

You will have to translate french, but here is the only known comparison of the better video based universals besides all the personal reveiws at avs.Look for the comparison at this site.www.hifissimo.comGreg 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
Bwhite, you could not be any more wrong, as the macro blocking shows up because of the DCDI chip in the Denon 3910 and 5900....like I said go read up.The Onkyo is brand new, so that is why there are no modders doing mods yet, but Two that are alre... 
Mark Knopfler Shangri La on sa-cd
Theo, I heard the redbook cd of this and I like it a lot.I find that Knopflers solo work grows on you the more you listen to any of the recordings.When I first heard Ragpickers Dream and Sailing to Philidelphia, I though they were decent, but afte... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
Bwhite, there are many 3910 threads including the positive ones whith instances of not only macro blocking, but transport problems, refusal to play sa-cd's, or in some cases just some discs ect.There are many people whith complaints about QC.The t... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
According to at least 5 threads at www.avsforum.com The 3910 has macro blocking and a lot of QC problems.I would never have any recent Denon player modded, but especially not the 3910 or the 5900, which I had two of.The universal to own right now ... 
Ten Percent Distortion?
These Panys(I have two 45's) are actually around 80 watts rms into an 8ohm load.Need more power, then daisy chain two of then through the digital out and bi-amp like I have done.This provides 200 watts rms into each of my 6 ohm speakers and is a d...
