Reference player geared towards analog audio users December 2, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
PROS: Superb CD over analog, excellent bass management, beautiful BD/DVD picture with Realta, decoding of ALL codecs, solid constructionbr /br /CONS: Sluggish in response, expensive, not BD-Live 2.0 although some would call this a plus!br /br /I've owned this player for nearly a year now and have watched a lot of the bugs get fixed through firmware. UPDATE: Decoding of DTS-HD HR (as of 1.115 firmware 11/24/08) is now included. Owners in forums were slow to pick up on this due to HR being the "forgotten codec." It decodes ALL now!!! The 3800 also does bitstream all codecs if you are so inclined. This player is really targeted to the analog crowd as it's got AL24 processing and great Burr Brown DAC's. If you own an HDMI capable receiver, then the purchase is more questionable as you are paying for an analog section you may never use. The Realta keeps the video reference quality so no need to keep the DVD player.br /br /Summary: br /Targeted to owners of non-HDMI receivers who want extensive bass management and listen to CD's and play both DVD's and BD's in one player. I suggest you purchase an extended warranty or get the Marantz BD8002 since it has 3 yr warranty and is a clone.br /br /Similar players:br /br /Sony BDP-S5000ES - a fine player but lacks the bass management that the 3800 has for the analog output (ie. fixed crossover).br /br /Pioneer Elite BD-09FD - another fine player but will not have DTS-HD MA decoding until future firmware. It is also rumored to have variable crossover through future firmware but the manual currently implies fixed crossover. I personally would never buy a product based on "future functionality."br /br /Marantz BD8002 - a clone of the Denon 3800 with a different power supply, faceplate, and Marantz's own upsampling instead of Denon's AL24. Otherwise almost everything is the same as the Denon.
 Top of the line dissapointment July 6, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
After spending 2K for Denon's DVD 3800 BDCI the trouble began. I watched my first movie (SpiderMan 3 Blu-Ray) all went well. A week or two later I tried to watch Cloverfeild and 2001 A Space Od. NO GOOD.br /br /Both movies started to stop and play at random, not a good thing. Went to Denon website, there may be a fix, upgrading the firmware. However I must ship the unit to Denon in NJ, worse yet I'll have to pickup the shipping both ways ($45.00 each way). Unit should have an ethernet connection so updates can be done off the web (like my Toshiba HD DVD)..br /br /Must admit however when playing Blu-Ray disc quality of the pix is outstanding (but so was my HD DVD)...
 Outstanding Blu-Ray and CD player July 3, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I purchased the Denon 3800BDCI as I was looking for a "high end" Blu-Ray player that was also capable of playing SD DVD's and CD's. Having a Denon 4308CI as an AV processor also made this player an optimal choice for my system. Blu-Ray discs used in connection with the review included Home Video Essentials HD Basics, The Golden Compass, 2001, 10,000 B.C., Blade Runner (5 disc), Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Celine Dion's A New Day. Various SD DVD's and CD's were also used.br /br /The following equipment was used in connection with the review of the 3800BDCI:br /br /Panasonic TH-50PZ750U (Monitor)br /Denon 4308CI (AV Processor)br /Denon 3800BDCI (DVD) (Manufacture date May 2008)br /Artcoustic DF-65's (Front speakers)br /Artcoustic DF-Multi (Center speaker)br /Monster AVS 2000 Signature Series (Power regulator)br /Monster HTPS 7000 Signature Series (Power filter/surge protector)br /Monster 1000 HDMI interconnects br /br /Intangibles: Average viewing distance: 8-9 feetbr /Price paid: $1620 (New unit from reputable NYC retail store [please don't ask which one as it was an insider's price])br /Unit heat generation (enclosed): Moderatebr /br /Overall Impression: 5/5 Starsbr /br /Strengths: Amazing picture and soundbr / Excellent build qualitybr /br /Negative considerations: Cost br / BD 1.1 (Bonus View) vs. BD 2.0 (Live) br /(Please note that AV forum users have reported technical problems with lasers, firmware, and timing issues on earlier manufactured units. This appears be limited to serial numbers 1502 or less (3/08 build). Potential buyers may wish to review online forums for recent owner feedback. This reviewer has after 3 weeks of use had no problems.) br /br /Having watched the above source material I was blown away by the picture and will never purchase another standard DVD disc again if available in Blu-ray. The difference in quality between the Blu-ray discs and SD DVD's is astounding. This player comes with the Silicon Optix Realta HQV chip and it does not disappoint. I never observed any loss of picture quality or signal while viewing any source material. Edging was also outstanding even when observed up close at a distance of 6 inches. It should also be noted that an outstanding picture was obtained despite the output being 1080P/60 as the Panasonic TV is a 2007 model that does not display 1080P/24. br /br /Upconversion with SD DVD's was excellent but did not compare with BD material. Audio quality is excellent and this unit also decodes the most recent Dolby formats. As the 3800BDCI and 4308CI were enclosed in a closed audio rack and closet I was initially concerned with the heat alleged to have been reported by an earlier reviewer. Although BD discs did get "warm" the unit never got hot and the 4308CI (which runs cooler than some other AV processors) ran much warmer. br /br /The only unusual observations were an "image stabilization" problem noted on the Blu-Ray 2001 Space Odyssey Disc. During viewing the total viewing image would shift about 1-2 pixels. In order to see the movement one had to view the 50" screen at a distance of 3 feet. I only observed the movement as I had moved close to observe some writing. I do not believe that it is a jitter problem as it appeared to be limited to 2001 on BD and was not present on the other discs even when viewed up close at a distance 1 foot. It is possible that this could be a consequence of the 1080P/60 processing or defective clock timing reported by AV forum users. Absent a direct player to player comparison I am unable to determine if it's a disc or player related issue. In any event it does not warrant any reduction in the reviewer's analysis of picture quality and display by the 3800BDCI. br /br /3800BDCI vs. other Blu-Ray players? I felt that waiting for profile 2.0 made little sense to me as I am primarily interested in the movie itself vs. online add-ons. Playstation 3 is profile 2.0 compliant but does not support the full audio processing capability of the 3800BDCI. The Optix Realta processing chip is generally considered by professional reviewers to the best video processing solution out there. Marantz has a similar unit to the 3800BDCI also scheduled for release and is a sister company of Denon. The Marantz BD8002 may contain the same processing solution/similar features and offer a longer warranty. So it might warrant a look as well. Build quality of the 3800BDCI is far superior to that of cheaper players. If you are looking for a quality HD Blu-ray video/audio player and can live with the price, the 3800BDCI should not disappoint. br /
 It plays blu-ray discs, no SACD support June 19, 2008

This is a my opinion type of review, but they fall well short of actually supporting the best sound format in SACD. The PS3 does this for $500.00.br /br /An Oppo 980H supports SACd and it's DVD multiplayer with DSD acros the HDMI cable. I know it's not Blu-Ray, but it only costs $170.00.br /br /I put a Blu-ray player in my computer for $150.00 and the picture is perfect. They are coming out with newer sound cards that will support DTS-HD for computers ($100.00 or so and via HDMI).br /br /So pray-tell, what would I be getting for nearly $2000.00?br /Bite the bullet and add SACD and then I might buy one, but the price hasbr /to drop quite a bit to even be considered a reasonable buying option.
Excellent Blu-ray player with one caveat May 8, 2008
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
The Denon DVD-3800BDCI is an excellent blu-ray player. It features the best audio and video components. br /br /On the audio side, it features the Burr-Brown DACs PCM-1796, which is the same one featured in the Denon AVP-A1HDCi. It has internal decoders for 7.1 Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA. Sound quality is outstanding whether it is TrueHD, DTS-MA, LPCM, or just 2.0 CD. br /br /On the video side, it features the Silicon Optix Realta chip, which is also featured in the Denon AVP-A1HDCI. It can upscale all sources to 1080p and the Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) can be used on both DVDs and Blu-ray, which is unique since DNR is usually for SD DVD only. Picture quality is outstanding whether it is blu-ray or SD DVD.br /br /On the downside, I have noticed that it is not compatible with some home-made DVDs, both DVD-R and DVD+R.br /br /As far as Profile 2.0 or whatever, it does not matter to me. I just care about the movie itself so not having profile 2.0 is a mute point for me.
