Simply brilliant HDMI dvd player, getting hold of one ain't easy though...........2006-02-19

Having an HDMI Plasma TV made sense to go and buy an HDMI dvd player. The recipient of fantastic written reviews and verbal recommendations, the Denon 1920 dvd player has been unavailable due to demand in the UK for months now. Some dedicated Home Cinema/Hi Fi shops have been waiting two months for new stock of this player. Even on the Internet, most supplying sites will take orders but then warn of delays and lack of availability. Well having drawn a blank at 20 stores today, I finally discovered a store which had one in stock. He had this player for a whole day and was amazed that he had not sold it. Needless to say so was I but that did not distract me from parting with my cash, and putting him back among the stores (i.e. everyone else) currently out of stock of this player.

Having set the player up what are my conclusions? Does it live up to the hype and the frenzy which seems to have gripped the buying public in the UK? The answer is a resounding yes.
My previous player, a Panasonic multi region A160 was good, this though is better. The picture on films like Lord Of the Rings and Revenge On The Sith is stunning in its brightness and clarity. The HDMI seems to meld SFX such as CGI into the picture seamlessly, getting rid of scenes that look CGI generated. Controls are easy to use once you have passed unfamiliarity mode. Sound is superb and seems to have taken an already good home cinema system up to another level. Bass from the Subwoofer in particular seems to be clearer and less distorted, yet has lost none of its power whatsoever. CD playback has been taken to another level too, sound is crisper, clearer, and the distribution on the sound channels is noticeably better too.
Be warned though HDMI will show up matting and older types of SFX on some older films quite starkly. I played The Black Hole on this player, and quickly had to reduce the upscaling from the top level of 1080i to 720p. Yet black and white films are superbly enhanced on this top upscaling format. On 1080i, films like Them and The Quatermass Experiment are simply amazing. Given a brightness that I have never seen before, and the hues of the blacks are just so real, instead of the slight blurring and lack of definition that you would previously have seen on a normal player.
Scaling control is via a single button on the front of the player, and is an easy fix for as and when required. You can of course turn it off completely if the film you are watching is going to show visual flaws if viewed in HDMI or run it on the lowest HDMI setting of 480p.
When setting the player up, don't forget to go into its menus and set the picture to 16/9 if you have a widescreen TV. If you don't do this, then all playback on all screen sizes will be in a letterbox picture.

I am still getting used to this fantastic player with all of its features normally found on the upper end Denon players. The effect of the arrival of the Denon 1920 has been to lower prices of these (older) upper end players. Eg. the RRP for a Denon 3910 has dropped by nearly one third. Its features are identical HDMI wise to the 1920, yet is nearly three times the price.
Basically the Denon 1920 brings upper end player features to a very affordable package, indeed. Its closest rival in the HDMI stakes is the Sony but nothing else comes close at this time.
To conclude - this is simply the best HDMI player available at the best price. It may take some doing but I strongly recommend that you get hold of a Denon 1920 and see it in all of its glory for yourself.

Great for one week, then Eureka- It Stinks.......2006-01-22

Got this to pair up with a new Sony R50XBR1 projection TV, to use the HDMI input. My initial reaction was "this player is amazing", but after careful viewing of some DVD's I've seen a million times, I discovered that the Denon is guilty of detail removal- images containing subtle color shifts (sunsets, fade-in/outs, ets) will show terrible thresholding errors. A check of another player/TV setup yielded the same errors. I ended up replacing the unit with a Sony DVP-NS90V, which was also cheaper. My conclusion: if your TV can handle HDMI, make sure to do a real world demo of the player you want. Any flaws in the chain from DVD to player to TV will be ruthlessly revealed by today's premium TV's.

Exceptional.......2005-12-25

For those of you who think that the difference between getting a cheap $69 DVD player and this player is hardly noticeable, THINK AGAIN.

This player is exceptional in quality. Its DCDi Faroudja processor provides picture quality that I would find hard to surpass. After replacing my old Sony 360 model, the depth in color (especially skin tones) as well as the contrast took my breath away. There were details in Star Wars III that had escaped my attention before; the picture was so sharp!

Just some additional notes:

- HDMI conversion upscalable to 1080i...a definite plus.
- 2 MB buffer memory makes layer transitions hardly noticeable.
- Rating control allows parents to select whether certain movies will play for children or not.

All in all, an exceptional professional product for a mainstream user - a definite must for an HD user.

A nice system - breeze to setup at a low cost.......2002-10-12

This is a good solid system, if you're looking for an good simple way to upgrade your old CPU/motherboard for little money. I like the design of the chassis and the motherboard. Nice big power button. A solid chassis that is designed well and gives you enough room to make it easy to open up and install components.

I was a little disappointed though that the power connector wasn't already plugged into the main board and the power switches, chassis lights and front USB ports were not connected when I got it out of the box. Basically the mother board and the power supply were connected to the chassis but none of the connecting wires were attached. But it wasn't too big deal a to go through the little manual and see how to hook everything up. Only took me 20-30 minutes to hook it all up, but it would have been nice to have that already connected when I got it.

I was able to take my old components out of my old system and drop it in here without any problems (hard-drive, memory, CD drive, 3D graphics card, sound card, network card). I then installed Win XP with no problems.

It's been running smooth as silk for a few weeks now, no problems at all.

This motherboard even breathed new life into my old sound card (Audigy Vortex2) which wouldn't always work on my old 3 year old motherboard and would sometimes lock up the machine with some newer games. Now I have sound in those games without getting a new card!

Product Description

This cable is widely used in the interconnection of audio/video equipment. Even the most common of products can demonstrate AV Link's quality. Using solid PE or foamed PE to insulate, it has a low dielectric constant to ensure low capacitance and to transmit with high fidelity. Spiral shield or multi-layer braiding and 100% conductive PVC shield minimize circuit interference. A magnetic ring and inductance are added to further eliminate interference to signal transmission, thus ensuring a high signal-to-noise ratio.

I didnt understand how to use the negative photo scanner and when I figured it out --- I LOVE IT!!! It is SO EASY, if you bought this and your not satisfied with the photo scanner, your doing it wrong; I was doing it wrong and when I figured it out -- I LOVE IT!!! My photo's are sharp and clear. I can edit, enhance the color, and the photo touch up is a breeze.

I can scan documents - everything and anything. Negative's, Positives, large negative format, medium negative format, 35mm negatives and regular photo's come out great also.

The best for the money.......2000-11-15

my friend charles has one he love's it ,I tried every every thing to get one every sales person sing's their praise of epson perfection 1200u but can not tell you how to get one.. even Epson home page tells me to take a # and will get back when in stock every broker on line says the same thing.. This is a salesman nightmare a product this good and not able to deliver

Good quality, great brand!.......2000-10-11

I must start by saying that Amazon is offering this scanner at a great price. Plus if you are buying a printer or other Epson products to go along with your scanner, go to Epson's website and check for any rebates over there. This scanner provides great quality scans. It comes ready with a transparency unit that allows you to scan 35mm negative or positive film, brownie size film (2.4x3.5in), 4x5 film, and slides. You're getting a high speed scanner that also has accurate optical character recognition (OCR). This means you can scan text and export it to your word processor. And if high tech devices give you trouble, you'll love this scanner's Start button for one-touch scanning! You're also getting 4 nice little programs: Adobe PhotoDeluxe (Adobe Photoshop LE would have been nicer), Broderbund The Print Shop PressWriter, NewSoft Presto! PageManager for Epson, and ArcSoft Photo Printer. I like PageManager a lot because with one click, it scans your document/picture and exports it to MS Word, or your email program or any program it lists! The only problem I had was installing the driver. Being an USB ready device, I thought it would be as easy as installing my other USB devices. I guess it all depends on the system you have. But if you do have any problems, Epson's response to mine was fairly quick. :) Now that everything is up and running, I'm more than happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this product. :)

Excellent scanner!.......2000-10-05

I am thoroughly pleased and impressed with this scanner. The scanner and software were easy to install. Within 10 minutes, I was already scanning. The scanning speed and image quality are very good. The transparency adapter handles 35mm slides admirably. I highly recommend this scanner!

Better Than I Expected.......2000-08-21

After reading all of the glowing reviews on the 1200U, I decided to go for the 1200U Photo, which includes the attachments for scanning slides and negatives. The combination of Amazon's price, and the savings of buying the complete package was too good to pass up. After all, it's only about $100 more than a mediocre scanner that doesn't have those options.

Anyway, I'm extremely surprised at what I got for my money. The scanner installed easily, has a real on/off switch, warms up quickly, and scans at speeds that blow away the competition. I was especially delighted at the quality I was getting from scanned negatives, considering this is not a dedicated negative/slide scanner. The photo editing software that comes with it is okay, but a long way from the full fledged Adobe Photoshop. OCR works well most of the time.

As with most scanners, you will probably be dissapointed using the default settings, and some time and patience is required learning how to fine tune scans to get the best results. Fortunately, Epson gives you plenty of options for tweaking scans to perfection, or close to perfection, so don't be afraid to experiment. The manual is good enough to get you started, and the help menus are pretty good, too.

Although novices may do better with a scanner that is more user friendly, I doubt most buyers will be dissapointed with this scanner. Especially those who want the option of scanning negatives and slides.

Finally, here's a tip that took me a long time to figure out. Most manuals tell you to scan at a low resolution when e-mailing photos (smaller file and size). Instead, try a higher resolution and use the Adobe PhotoDeluxe software to resize the scanned image. Your file size and image will be reduced, yet the quality of your image will look much better. As I said, don't be afraid to experiment.
