Denon low cost Blu-ray player is not that affordable

, Sep 3rd 2008 Discuss [0]

Denon Electronics has announced that they will begin shipping a lower-cost Blu-ray Disc player next month. The new DVD-1800BD only supports Bonus-View (profile 1.1) and bitstream of all HD audio codec including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio but guess what. It is retailed at $749! But for that price, they will kindly throw in Burr-Brown DACs for two channel analog output. Nice! Read The Full Story

Denon $499 ethernet cable: words fail

, Jun 13th 2008 Discuss [1]

Half of me wants to call this a hoax, while the other half of me is wondering whether not using Denon's $499 AK-DL1 ethernet cable means my broadband is depressed and sluggish.  At over $8 an inch, the 1.5m cable is, obviously, intended for the "audio enthusiast" (read: "gullible rich guy"), and the ideal way to hook up your Denon Link components.

Denon DVD-3800BDCI – its finally coming, and it has its DivX certification

Earlier this year we informed you of a new Blu-Ray player from hell coming from Denon that was to have DivX capabilities as well. But the release was delayed and speculation was made. Read The Full Story

Denon Postponed Flagship Blu-Ray Player DVD-3800BDCI to March

, Jan 21st 2008 Discuss [1]

Denon is pushing the release date on the $1,999 Blu-ray player further to March. The flagship DVD-3800BDCI announced back in July 2007 featuring onboard DTS-MA decoder and 7.1 analog outputs was suppose to make its first appearance last Fall. It was put off to late December due to Denon uncertainty in Blu-Ray forecast, which I doubt it has anything to do with Paramount decision to back HD-DVD exclusively…Right! It will be a great match-up against Marantz BD8002 which will be released around the same time; we just have to wait until Spring break. The delay doesn’t affect Blu-ray transport DVD-2500BT. But hey, I'm all for it if that is what it'll take to add a RJ-45 (profile 2.0... but in my dream) [via Impress]

Denon C551 earbuds, quality sound from a well known name

If you don’t mind paying for better sound quality, then you’ve probably already heard of Denon, on the other hand if you do, Denon is well known for their home theater components, namely their receivers, amplifiers, pre-amps, all that jazz. Well they also, every once in a while, make a set of earbuds. Previously they had the C700, and now they have the C551, which other than being 2 millimeters shorter, also has some punchier mids. What they have in common is the Acoustic Optimizer, a reflex port for your headphones, it keeps the air pressure balanced and makes them sound better. Read The Full Story

Denon SMART S-302

This device is amazing, especially if you live in a confined space. So it comes with the main receiver unit two stereo speakers and a subwoofer. However, it offers up virtual surround sound through those two stereo speakers. On top of that it has an upscaling DVD player that will upscale up to 1080p for you. There is an HDMI port for that to play through and there are USB ports for connecting media players, thumb drives, so on and so forth. The best news is after the jump. Read The Full Story

CEDIA 2007 – Denon’s Blu-Ray player boasts highest resolution available

In a show of remarkable solidarity, Denon has released some Blu-Ray disc players at CEDIA 2007 today - astounding everyone who had forgotten that the format existed and were too busy distracting themselves by salivating on Apple Store windows.  The so-called "reference standard" DVD-3800BDCI (and what a snappy name that is) takes the award for being the "world’s first BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.1 Blu-ray Disc Player from a Blu-Ray Disc Association member featuring the acclaimed 10-bit Silicon Optix Realta chipset."

CEDIA 2007 – Denon S-Series of compact systems upgraded with WiFi streaming

CEDIA 2007 – Denon’s easy surround sound upgrade

A phrase I hate is "wife acceptance factor" (WAF) - the degree to which a gadget is permitted home space by virtue of its ease of use, attractiveness or general benefits - when really what we're talking about is non-technophile acceptance factor.  Surround-sound setups are a good example of this; yes, the average SlashGear reader will put up with the wires and sprouting speakers because the audio is worth it, but others are less forgiving.  So Denon's DHT-FS3 Active Surround Sound System is likely to win admirers among the gadget-savvy and otherwise, being a discrete black bar that sits under your TV and gives the impression of a full cavalcade of speakers.   Read The Full Story
