For anyone who might be interested:Denon USA confirmed to me that the Denon DVD-2910 and Denon DVD-955S are the same model universal DVD player. The -955S is available for about $280 from Onecall.
Follow Ups:
The 2910 is marketed to Stores, and the 955S is didtributed to "installers" so they can make a small margin and not have to compete with "internet" discounters.
Really?
I feel ripped off here, having paid £525 for mine (around $1050) 2 years ago.
I assume this is the US model though - is it also, like the UK version, PAL/NTSC compliant?
Thanks, I am very interested since I just bought some other items and the 2910 is too much for me to spend right now. But why would Denon have the same model with 2 different #s? Is the 955S Canadian? When was it introduced to the market? Any light you can shed will be greatly appreciated.
I have seen other manufacturers do the same thing....the one in black is one number and the one in silver is another.....Probably makes it easier for people not to get confused when they order.....like some Pannies have either a B or K after the basic number (and people don't know what it means....B is Black and K is silver, btw). The 2910 and 955S are discontinued so makes sense that the 955S are being sold at discount....since most people associate Denon with black units and the 955S is relatively unknown.... Something even weirder....look at the Denon site...they have two machines that are the same with different numbers....the DV757 and the DVD-1930Ci.....if you can tell anything different about them (including color)...please, let us know. The 955S is a steal at that price.
I guess the 1930 is a development of the ghastly 1910 unit we bought before the 2910.
That had serious issues.
Wouldn't play discs that were home-authored with Chrome 2, (subpicture highlights did not display properly) glitched at MLP track points (with segue audio, so no gapless playback), HDMI was allegedly (I cannot confirm this though) not good either.The 2910 has been flawless here in daily use for 2 years now.
Addendum.
Since we swapped authoring systems, we have had no further compatibility issues at all.
