Product Description

The DVD-2800 is endowed with PureProgressive technology to unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. This DVD video player from DENON is the first to use the Progressive Converter developed by Silicon Image, ensuring greater accuracy and speed in I/P conversion. The DVD-2800 also uses a 54-MHz, 12-bit video D/A converter to faithfully preserve the delicate low-level signals during D/A conversion. With these advanced video image technologies, the DVD-2800 is able to reproduce high-quality pictures on Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors. The audio circuitry masterfully complements the superior picture quality with its 96-kHz, 24-bit D/A converter, HDCD decoder, and parts strictly selected for high sound quality, providing you with stunning sonic transparency and power.The DVD-2800 also plays MP3 files downloaded from the Internet and other sources. Simply record these files onto a CD-R/RW disc via your computer, then play the disc in the DVD-2800.DVD-2800 can pass below black video via the progressive and the interlaced outputs for correct monitor setup and optimum picture quality. Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using just one pair of speakers. The DVD-2800's Virtual Surround mode provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb, plain and simple., October 10, 2001

By	Rambris Fredrik (BEDDINGESTAND, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this for a couple of weeks now and I am very impressed with the unit.

Both video and audio quality is extremly good. It's so exact that MPEG artifacts are visible on low quality movies that doesn't show on other DVD players. I haven't noticed any jerkyness at all when watching DVDs. Most DVD players jerk when switching layer but this one doesn't.

On the negative side I have had some problems playing some of my own VCDs and it doesn't play SVCDs. But weigh that with the superb quality and MP3 capability it is definitly worth every dollar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD/CD combination, supports lots of formats!, January 16, 2002

By	Mihailo Despotovic (Silicon Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Highlights: CD-R/RW, HDCD and MP3 compatibility (with a good user interface), fantastic pure CD player, has both PAL and NTSC outputs. I really like the HDCD compatibility, the sound from a HDCD disc is really better and warmer than from an ordinary CD. This player is probably the best deal for bucks if you are looking for a multiformat DVD/CD combination with an excellent CD part. The CD part of the specifications is really awesome, this player outperforms many dedicated CD players! I am using an (Monster) optical cable between the Denon and my Sony STR333ES and then Monster cables to Jamo Classic 10 speakers. All components are pretty synchronized and in the same price/quality range and everything sounds and looks (Sony Wega TV) great. The DVD picture is much better than with my old Sharp DVD player and the sound coming from DVD is simply non comparable at all. My unit is manufactured in September 2001 and DOES NOT HAVE THE FAMEOUS BLACK DOT RELATED TO THIS MODEL but the version of the firmware is the correct one and there are no any bugs mentioned on various Internet forums. The MP3 interface is very intuitive one and similar to a file system browser on any GUI enabled computer platform.
