Denon DVD-1740 Progressive Scan DVD/CD Player

 (13 customer reviews)

Having a Denon Receiver, I know first hand the quality of Denon Products. This player lives up to that rep so long as you feed it factory disks. On home recorded movies, it won't reliably read +R DL. Several brands of discs were tried and none of them played 100% of the time. Don't hesitate to buy Denon, it is a great product. However, if you use +R DL discs you might want to consider another player.

I have my Denon DVD1730 connected to a 1080i LCD HDTV via HDMI cable. Picture quality is tack sharp on upconversion to 1080i. Movies look like candy. For the price it is a great machine.

I bought a Denon 1730 DVD player yeah it was dead in about 45 days from purchase. Tech Support says send it in we will fix it.. after 4 weeks I receive a 'factory refurbished' (laugh) unit that has scratches on it and growls like a pit bull all the time, on ANY disk. Sounds like the motor is unbalanced or has a bad bearing. So after failing to build it (the one I bought) right and then failing to fix it I get one that they failed to build right and they failed to fix AND it has scratches on it. 4 Failures ... not very impressive. What is Denons answer to this? 'Send it back we'll try to fix it again' for an additional 4-6 weeks. I told them I no longer want any of their product and I have asked for my $ back and expect a long fight over that.

Do lemon laws apply in a case like this?

I understand getting a bad product from a good company but how long am I supposed to wait for them to make it right? I bought it 12/31/06 and used it to mid Feb, then used it to March...Read more
