The Denon DVD-1920 comes with a remote control (Denon RC-1017), two AA batteries (for the remote), a stereo RCA audio cable, a RCA composite video cable, a manual, and the usual paper junkyard of warranties, service station lists and other last minute addendums.
At a retail price of
US $369.00 you would at least expect an
HDMI cable and/or a
Component Video cable instead of just the Composite Video cable. Composite Video is the
least desirable way to connect your DVD player to your TV, resulting in an image quality that isn't even close to what can be achieved through HDMI or Component Video. In fact, Composite Video can only carry low-resolution analog video signals. If I wanted
that, I would have bought a $49 DVD player at the local Wal-Mart (which I did BTW, for our bedroom TV) .
The DVD-1920 doesn't look like the expensive DVD player it really is. I've seen cheap players that look much, much better than this one. But that's really what Denon is about. It's no-nonsense, no-frill, no-we're-not-selling-you-beads-and-mirrors equipment. If you want to impress your friends with what your DVD player
looks like, then there are many fine brands out there that will suit your needs better. But if you want something that's simply the best and focuses on what's
really important, then Denon is the brand to get.
