Alright, so I got the 2200 extremely fast from ecost. Now onto the bad stuff... I got home last night and opened it up to find that there was an inverted dent in the top of the chassis. It is right above where the DVD tray slides out. I thought, no big deal, you won't even see it once it is in a rack. I plugged it in and it powered up fine. I plugged in a DVD and it seemed to be working ok, but after a few minutes, I noticed there was a quite annoying resonance coming from the chassis. I went up to the player and it was coming from where the dent was on top of the chassis. If you apply pressure to the dent and force it back down towards the unit, it stops, but if you release the pressure it starts again. At this time I had it placed on top of a satellite receiver, so it might have been that it was simply not stable enough, and there was a little vibration. After placing it on a solid surface the resonance stopped from what I could tell. Now the weird thing is it was only doing it at like menu screens or scene selections. Once the DVD started to play into the movie, from what I saw it stopped. So I might be a little too picky about this, but hey I don't want a messed up DVD player.
One more issue...should there be any electronic interference from other components? After placing the 2200 on a solid surface I placed my satellite receiver on top of the unit, and it (the 2200) kept turning on and off by itself. I powered the satellite receiver off and there was no problem. These two problems kinda have me worried.
I called Denon because they offer a 90 day warranty on their refurb stuff, and they said call ecost first to see if they will replace it. I called ecost and found out the model was discontinued and they will not be getting any more in stock. I am S.O.L with ecost unless I want to simply get a refund, which I don't...I like the player. Should I contact Denon about this again or just keep it and see what happens in the 90 day warranty period? Would you guys be worried if your unit was doing this stuff? Any help is appreciated.
