Denon DVD-1000 DVD Player

Rating:
Summary: High performer
Review: Recently purchased as a replacement to an old Proscan DVD player. This unit doesn't seem to be loaded with features, but then I was shopping for quality, not features. Picture quality is excellent, as most DVD's are. Hooked up to a 41" projection set (not HDTV) with Monster S video. Plays through smudges and scratches better than Proscan.

Summary: recommended but be wary...
Review: The earlier DVD players came with a lip-synch problem on the audio. Some DVDs do not have the problem. Actor/ess mouths don't synch so there is a delay. Later, Denon fixed the problem and offered older models a firmware upgrade (which i used). Video is nice and smooth, but the audio is where it really shines. If your in the market, do yourself a favor and demo the unit first for the lip-synch...MI2,Galidator,etc... will show the flaw. Otherwise, an excellent player and the audio alone is worth the price of admission.
