Looking for a good DVD player

Hey guys what up,

I'm looking to buy a new high tech DVD player that will play pretty much everything. I have a slot-load RCA DRC310N DVD player that only really plays DVD+R. But I was looking for advice from you guys for a new one. You know, something I can rely on to play different media formats. Not just for DVD but for music media also.

Im sure you know what I mean, I'm looking for a really good one! Thanks for any advice.Peace

 

Apex, even thought they are really cheap, they play everything. i have one. Also i have a pansonic xp50. really nice. plays everything also.

 

Theres so many goods ones .actually the less expensive ones play EVERYTHING as Apex ,Phillips etc. i have a Denon thats great and Samsung and Sony are good too. just check out the specks before you get one

 

@aabbccdd

what model number is YOUR denon that you own? i have the flagship one as well, but have been ridiculed TOO much here on AD since i paid $2k for it~ denon makes GREAT dvd players and i would suggest to anyone a solid denon who can afford it~ it's picky on some dvds...but, mine upscales ALL dvds to HDTV format so that is an added plus...

my cheaper panasonic plays EVERYTHING i throw at it...happens to be a 5-disc carosel one...sony also makes good dvd players as well~ i do have an apex too that plays EVERYTHING too, gave it to my wife's family so they can play the backups i make for them

 

Hi Kivory i have the Denon DVD2910
,great player i always seem to buy quality even though the less expenisive players work great also.

Denon does have a less expenisive one, the model number is the DC-1710 for around 129.00 to 149.00 depending on the area your in and its def. a great unit, you just cant go wrong with a Denon

 

hi aabbccdd,

i have the OLDER flagship, the dvd-5900~ it has been discontinued as of now, but, it still works great~ yeah, i paid $2k at the time a few years ago and since i mentioned it here on AD, i have received several insults/ridicule...so, anyways, i can stand by Denon's high quality components~ Denon isn't for everyone, since the higher end models are pricey...but, they definitely DO deliver in terms of high quality output and build quality`

p.s. im actually looking at the NEW dvd-5910 now, but, for $3,500 i think i'll wait until my dvd-5900 explodes or something

 

oh, btw, may i ask how much you paid for your 2910? did you get the black version or the silver? msrp is $739 right now~ denon is VERY picky about AUTHORIZED e-tailers and sellers, the manufacturer warranty is NOT VALID if purchased from stores NOT listed on their website~

i bought my old dvd-5900 almost 2 years ago from crutchfield.com, if you check it IS one of the authorized e-tailers even now~ it still works great, haven't had to RMA it for repairs or anything yet~ *knocks on wood* hope i never have to either~ it's heavy heavy heavy...like 40lbs~

 

i think i payed 649.00 for it at a high end audio shop in Indianapolis ,Ovation

Guess we belong to the more money than brains club huh Kivory LOL

 

right on darthnip

and i heard we are finally get a new supercenter wal-mart huh lol
guess its about time ,that old store really looks bad , its really ran down,dirty etc.

 

@darthnip

hehe, perhaps i could take a look at what needs "plucking out"...murder gland..hehehe, ill have to do some more reading into that one...brain surgery can get really complicated at times, but, the pay is decent...that's the only way i can afford the high end DENONS

i have an apex player myself, i bought it really inexpensively on the clearance rack here at my local best buy; i got it initially to give to my wife's family as a gift, but the fact that it READS everything i throw at it...i gave my wifes' family one and went and got another for myself~ LOL...can never have too many "toys" in my book~

@aabbccdd

you got a good price on your denon...i've been itching to get the newest flagship the 5910..but, i know i will get a bi*chin from the wife that will never cease if i do, so, i will have to wait until i get her a very expensive handbag or a new car to make up for it~ (which won't be for awhile since im in a "slump" right now in terms of patients/day ratio vs. laborious paperwork)

 

heres the info on that player from our local high end audio store Ovation iam sure thay would ship to you for that price

thanks aabbccdd~ i was born and raised in Indiana, so i guess it would be nice of me to give back to my home state huh?

 

sure that would be cool . not much happin here in IN. but its a still a great place to live

 

 ••• My Philips DVP642 will play just about anything you can put in it ..... poorly •••



 ••• And yes, Anderson, Indiana has to be about the worst place on earth to live (except for maybe Iraq) •••

 

LOL... there was acres and acres of corn as i lived right behind a farm when i was living in IN~ what is the other thing that IN grows very well darthnip? been in CALI too long to even know anymore

sorry to take this sooo off topic, i would still recommend a Denon for those who want a solid, very reliable dvd player~

 

 ••• I can't imagine that any 'hippie lettuce' grown in Anderson can compare with the California Chronic •••

 ••  Sticking to the thread's topic • My pair of LiteOn™ LVW-5005 DVD recorders are far better DVD players than my Phillips™ DVP642 (which really disappointed me) ••

 •   And darthnip, we really need to hook up • PM me •
