Clare Newsome: The fact that, despite repeated requests, a review sample of the Denon DVD-1800BD has not been forthcoming may possibly speak volumes.
At the pre-release briefing on the company's Blu-ray products, the Award-winning DVD-2500BT transport and superb 3800BD were lovingly showcased (quite rightly, too) and the 1800BD given a cursory mention. It was described as 'entry-level' and 'more like a Sony or Panasonic design'.
But then, as we know, Sony and Pana have made some great players! I'd still love to test the Denon - there are some corking offers around on it at the moment.
Richer Sounds for one, I'm looking for a stop-gap BD player with multi-channel outs, does the 1800BD have them?
