Advantages: Good picture quality Disadvantages: Flimsey remote
...on movies but with the Denon the voices are very clear and unmuffled. Bass clarity is also very good and the mid's to highs are also clear. It is also very good for playing normal music CD's which is a bonus as you won't necessarily have to splash out for a separate CD player.
The Denon is also compatible with a wide variety of discs, something which cheaper units struggle with. It will play -R/RW recordable DVD and CD, MP3, WMA, JPEG files and ... ...offers a very intuative on-screen set-up menu which is easily navigated using the remote. The range of settings isn't overwhelming but it is sufficient. After all what do you expect at this price? If you want everything then you'll either end up paying for it or you'll buy a piece of kit that suffers on component quality.
The rear panel offers all the usual connectors, scart, HD, S-video, digital (optical and coaxial), audio L & R for CD's, component ...

The 1930 is a good example of an upscaling DVD player. When it first arrived along the similarly designed AVR 1907, at my house, I was pleased to see the eye catching design. I must say at this point that I was rather disappointed with the weight of ...

Advantages: Does everything you could ever ask for Disadvantages: feels a little cheap for the price and the remote is awful
I needed a dvd/sacd player and as Sony have quit the field went to my local Hifi specialist looking to purchase a pioneer 636 (which had superb reviews) or something as good at a simular price. My dealer said ok whilst the pioneer is good would you be open to something better?

A quick burst of Pink Floyd from the ... ...how the salesman could read me so well) quickly had me sold up although had my bank account permitted me I would have spent four times as much money.The picture was very crisp through their 42" Pioneer Plasma, the sound through their Marantz SR7500 and B&W speaker system blew me away. I parted with my hard earned cash and took it home on the promise that if I was not totally satisfied when I hooked it up with my kit that I could return it! I took ...
