5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!.......2007-01-13

I use the Denon unit to up-convert older DVD's for play on a 60" SONY HDTV. It does a great job, better than the up-convert function of the SAMSUNG bluray player (which is also quite good). The picture quality is not as good as the true HD when playing a Bluray disc, but the differances are subtle and my investment in the older discs is preserved. I have been told that this unit is the "standard" and I can see why.

3 out of 5 stars The transport is noisy.......2005-12-13

You will hear the motor of the transport as it spins the disc if you sit too close to this DVD player. I sit about 3 to 4 feet from the player, which is on a rack and connected by long cables to the rear projector about 12 feet in front of me. During quiet parts of movies and music, I would hear the player grinding away.

Most of the front-loading players these days seem to have this problem unless the builders of the player pay special attention to mechanically isolate the transport sonically so the listener does not have to hear this, what I find to be, very distracting noise. (And my other DVD player needs to go on my desk about 2 feet from my ears - and this 3910 ain't gonna be it!).

That said, many audiophiles swear by the sonics of this beast - especially after a 3rd party modifies the electronics some (usually adding a tube to the output stage). All I can say is they must be sitting far, far away from it at the time.

5 out of 5 stars Denon Once Again!.......2005-01-25

Beautiful picture and Great sound. Plays DVDs, CDs, SACD, and DVD-Audio with amazing clarity and resolution. Denon's signature electronics make CDs sound almost like Vinyl. I Paired it with Denon's AVR-3805 and got great results! Listen at a local high-end audio store.

2 out of 5 stars Problems after only a few months.......2006-10-25

I started having problems with this DVD player after only a few months of ownership. It would stop reading DVD's and CD's, unable to play them, then the next day start working again. I took it a Denon service center twice, where it did same malfunction, only to have it start working again when they are ready to do a diagnostic. No explanation was given for this malfunction. For the price paid, sound/audio and product quality doesn't match up. I had luck with Denon products in the past, but I wish I had never purchased this, I feel like a chump.

3 out of 5 stars Mixed impressions.......2004-12-11

I have only had unit for one month. It has worked flawlessly and is an impressive looking unit. It is connected to a Denon 3805 receiver utilizing the Denon Link and analogue connections for audio only use. I was told by Denon rep that I would be able to use the Denon Link for audio in a month though there is no sign of this being available yet.

The unit seems fine for video DVD. I have not assessed it for this. The audio on video DVD is unimpressive but I have found the same when I have auditioned a number of higher end units so suspect this is inherent in the discs.

However the sound from CD and SACD is a real disappointment, particularly the former. There is a lot of detail with both. However the sound is harsh and gritty. It is particularly fatiguing to listen to CDs.

Easy sounding SACDs (e.g. rich female voices like Bartolli Gluck SACD)do sound good. However more challenging music, like the recent RCA Ravel SACD which has been very well reviewed for sound quality, is quite unpleasant. (I listened to the same disc on Esoteric DV50 player and there was none of this.) The staging and particularly the detail is impressive. But the sound is marred by a harshness and the same grittiness noted in CD, though to a lesser extent.

I bought this unit not wanting to spend a lot more which appears to be necessary to get a really good SACD player at this stage given the limited attention paid to this market so far. I hoped it would carry me through for a couple of years. However, I now believe I will end up using it in a dedicated video set up and look more aggressively for a better CD and SACD player.

I would recommend people either go down market and save a lot of money, buy high end if they have money to burn, or wait and hope that the mid-level market will be better served in a year or two.

    5 out of 5 stars Garmin Etrex Serial Connection.......2007-02-11

    Product slides into place quickly and works exactly as described. Cable is long enough to conveniently use the GPS real time with a mobile computer.

    5 out of 5 stars Perfect mate for Google Earth........2005-10-25

    Perhaps is a expensive cable, specially if you don't earn dollars, but it is perfect to complete Google Earth software.
    I tried it in my contry, Costa Rica, and I am very happy with the results.

    3 out of 5 stars Frustration and success.......2005-08-04

    I started to give this thing 1 star, but I realized that it's not the cable's fault that Microsoft Windows is annoying. The cable is what it is, and once you have a free serial port, it works fabulously.

    That said, it may be a huge frustration to free up a serial port if Windows says it is "busy." If you have a Palm, a Windows CE device, some other PDA, a camera, or anything else that connects or has ever connected to your serial port, you may have to go through your whole computer looking for software and hardware that is 'using' that connection, before this will work.

    Once I convinced Windows that nothing else was using the serial port, I have been able to connect my eTrex to everything I needed: Garmin upgrade software, Easy GPS, Geocacher's Swiss Army Knife, and Google Earth. Being as this is your only PC interface cabling choice when you have an eTrex, it's great that it works, and it's important that we all acknowledge that it does work. But in this case, three stars is like a C grade in school: "OK, it just exactly/barely meets expectations."

    It would get 5 stars if it was an eTrex-to-USB cable -- but then Garmin would not make another chunk of cash by selling the serial-to-USB adapters required to attach these GPS units to laptops & other computers where a serial connection is not possible.

    2 out of 5 stars Try to find a port.......2003-09-19

    I own a Sony VAIO computer. In the computer, there are no ports to put in this cord. Ended up buying something for [money] to convert it to a USB connection. Then, I couldn't find a program that would be able to send and receive data to my eTrex GPS via a USB port. Was definitely a hassle.

    3 out of 5 stars Excelent for Portables........2001-06-17

    The cable doesn't come with any software, but is great for upgrading the software on your eTrek(avilable from Garmin's website) You will need a GPS compatible mapping program to get the full advantage. The cable connects very securly to the GPS, and is plenty long enough.
