Guest Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 21 May 2008 18:04 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 23 comments Denon has announced the availability of a new Blu-ray player in North America, dubbed the DVD-1800BD which for Denon products, is at an "affordable" price point. The company, known for outstanding quality in their DVD and Bu-ray players added that despite the price, audio and visual quality will not be compromised. Set with a retail price of $749 USD, the player is Profile 1.1 compliant but will not have support for the BD-Live features that are coming in upcoming BD titles. The DVD-1800BD "features HDMI 1.3a with Deep Color and Bonus View support, full bitstream output of Dolby and DTS-HD audio formats, as well as 1080p scaling from DVDs and 2-channel analogue audio output." The player should hit retailer shelves in NA in October and then in November in the UK.

wedge001 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 sounds like a rebadged panasonic bd30 You got in that comment before me
cwt Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 sounds like a rebadged panasonic bd30 Thought that was the 2500 ? Interesting to see if it shares a uniphier chip too
tonyjg Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Set with a retail price of $749 USD, the player is Profile 1.1 compliant but will not have support for the BD-Live features that are coming in upcoming BD titles. how is $749 RRP 'affordable' in this day and age ???? are they adding the increased price of petrol to them now ???
betty boop Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 how is $749 RRP 'affordable' in this day and age ???? are they adding the increased price of petrol to them now ??? "affordable" in case of denon I guess, more affordable than the $US1199 2500 transport-player that translates to $1899 aussie here or the 3800 $US1999 player which would translate to god knows what when comes next year ! none of this stuff is "affordable". not even a $550 sammy blu-ray when people see affordable as a $50 dvd player from safeway
SDL Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Sadly due to distribution here I am sure this , regardless of the dollar being at or near parity, will translate as $2K.
