The DVD-2910 has all the audio and video bases covered. Audiophiles will appreciate that the DVD-2910 is a universal player, so it's equally adept at playing DVD-Audio and SACD discs. On the video side, the DVD-2910 can upscale video output to HD-friendly 720p and 1080i resolutions via its onboard DVI and HDMI connections (most players have only one or the other). Less

Simply calling the DVD557 a DVD player may be an injustice. That's because it does so much more. It also plays CDs and decodes several digital audio formats. With the spread of DVD recorders, consumers are increasingly recording TV programs onto DVD discs. So it's a good thing DVD-R/RW discs can be played back on the DVD557. It also plays MP3 files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW disc. The navigation system shows you artist names and track name, and lets you easily find favorite tracks. The DVD557 also supports WMA (Windows Media Audio) version 9 files. WMA is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology. It claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry. Also, with its handy JPEG slide show features, the DVD557 can be used to play your Kodak picture CDs and other JPEG image discs. Imagine watching your vacation slide show on your big screen TV! So, as you can see, the DVD557 gives you quite a bit more than just high quality DVD movie playback. Less

I have to say, this is perhaps one of the oddest DVD players I have ever owned...as inspiring as it is frustrating. Thinking of buying it, then read on.

Unlike the first reviewer, I only have good things to say about this unit.

My first universal was Samsung's DVD-HD841. Now that did have problems. The picture quality was ok but DVD-Audio discs and SACDs kept cutting out while playing. I didn't really want to shell out so much for a DVD... Read full review »

Pros Cool looking
Cons No headphone jack, large footprint, large remote, no volume control
Recommended it? Yes

I'd purchased a 22" HDTV monitor nearly a year ago to replace a seven year old 15" CRT monitor. So, since I don't watch TV programs, I decided to get a second DVD player to watch my growing collection of classic movies. I did a bit of reseach, and decided on the Denon brand since I'd read so many... Read full review »

Pros Well made, advanced circuitry, very good performance, user friendly, easy to install
Cons No volume control
Recommended it? Yes

In the audio world that I recall from days gone by, the Denon name always stood for higher quality than most "mid-fi" level components. Even though I've been removed from audio scene for the last several years, the Denon name caught my eye when we started our search for a replacement DVD player... Read full review »
