We wanted to be blown away by the DVD-1800BD but sadly it's left us feeling a little bit underwhelmed. Although it's an all-round solid proposition, we can't help feeling that it's a touch overpriced for a player that lacks BD Live support, multichannel analogue outputs and HD audio decoding. And while its picture quality is undeniably impressive, it lacks the jaw-dropping sharpness offered by the latest Pioneers and Panasonics. Maybe we expected too much from an ‘entry-level' player - hopefully the sumptuous-looking DVD-3800BD can show us what Denon is really capable of.
