Even though Blu Ray is the future there are plenty of standard DVDs around and it will take ages to see some of them reissued in HD. Therefore the standard DVD player is not going away anytime soon. The price drop makes Denon 2930 a real bargain. The video and audio quality is simply outstanding and worth every penny of the $300 tag. Inclusion of the SACD function only sweetens the deal (as I'm still grieving over the failure of this superb audio format). And last but not least this is a multi-system capable player (simple Region unlocking with a remote control required) that plays every DVD from anywhere in the World.

This product is for persons whom want to watch standard dvd movies that look as close to blu ray dvds as possible. I highly recommend this product for serious minded movie lovers and videofiles. The Realta Reon VX-50 HQV Processing does a great job of maximizing the potential of standard dvds in both picture and sound quality. My favorite feature about this unit is that once it is calibrated to my desired taste and liking, it seems to bring out the best of all the movies no matter how poorly the film to video transfer was made. There's only so much that can be done to stardard dvds. This product does the best at making standard dvds rival hd dvd and blu ray.

Do NOT buy these I bought 2 and I have had so many problems with them it is unbelievable. You would think that for the price Denon would make a great DVD player. I have the same problems the person that replaced the logic board had on both of my players. These skip scenes, lock up, go to blue screens, stop playing the DVD for no reason etc etc. Lock up so the only way to fix it is to completely unplug the unit. I have had both in the repair shop so many times I have a 3 inch folder with repair invoices. I have own them for 2 years now and have only played 15 DVD movies completely. Since they lock up so much I never make it through the movie. I have given up on them. Denon is no help refuse to repair etc. BTW, a friend bought their Blu-Ray version and after 6 months he is having the same problems. I wish I would have had the chance to talk in out of it.
