for the DVD-2800

This DVD Player was gorgeous: full features, high built quality, excellent image and excellent sound, very good sound (for a DVD player) with CDs also.
BUT this DVD player is unreliable. Many discs are not readable, despite being in pristine condition. It was not mine only; many, many people complained about this, and Denon didn't help.
To avoid.

Product Weakness:	Doesn't read many, many DVDs. Don't buy.
Product Strengths:	Features, image, sound
