Product Description

Product Description
The DVM-1815 is endowed with many of the most advanced technologies currently available, providing you with the most stunning and realistic experience in sight and sound. For video it is Progressive Scan, to masterfully reproduce the high-resolution picture quality of DVD-Video. The DVM-1815's 5-disk carousel gives you extremely flexible Repeat and Program playback options.The DVM-1815 supports the CD-R/RW format. It plays finalized CD-R/RW disks (single-session or multi-session) containing MP3/WMA8 audio files. It also reads still photos in the Kodak Picture CD or JPEG format taken by a digital camera. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology. It claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry. If WMA is used to compress a music CD on a PC, for instance, using the new Encoder 8, the quality of sound at 48 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the original CD. WMA is now becoming a standard audio compression format rivaling the popularity of MP3.

1.0 out of 5 stars Consistently damages DVD, July 22, 2004

By	jasonw (Oregon) - See all my reviews

Plays adequately. Excellent sound reproduction (a feature it shares with many players.) The carousel however, consistently causes the discs inside to slide out of their position and to get caught above the rotating tray. This had resulted in catastrophic damage to many DVD's and makes the player useless as a CD changer. Additionally, to avoid damage I have had to load only 1 disc at a time and immediately remove it after viewing. Also, not quite as good at playing discs with light scratches. (the scratches it causes though are not light but very heavy usually).

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It, January 8, 2006

By	R. Kelley (Happy Jack, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this product in Sept 2004. I should have done my homework before buying however. Denon products tend to have more problems than many other well-known products. This DVD player was no exception. Within the first year my CD's and DVD's began to skip. Furthermore, the price is way to high for the features you get in this DVD player. You can purchase a Sony or Panasonic DVD player with similar features that is just over a third the price of this Denon and with much more reliability. No more Denon's for me!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disk loading error...., January 19, 2008

By	Scott E. Vezina "thevez" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was, and still am a Denon fan...just not for their DVD products. We have a Denon reciever that is fabulous so when I purchased the DVM-1815 I thought it would be flawless. However, after a year it experienced "disk loading" issues that would come up almost every time I used the player. After returning it for a new model, the same problems occured again and again.

As in other reviews, the unit does cause small scratches on the disks and they often fall out of the tray. The tray, in my opinion, is very flimsy and poorly made. Denon products are typically the highest priced, therefore you have an expectation of buying a solid unit. Not the case here.
