Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Denon 2200 on sale at ecost

I've had mine for a bit now agree with all comments. It looks brand new, the image/audio quality is great, and the only thing I could find was small scratch under the remote.

The only issue I have with it is the load time. It takes about 10 seconds to load a CD or DVD. This seems rather long if you're in front of the player changing disks for a couple of hours.

Well after listening to a few DVD-A discs I've come to the conclusion that both these and SACD's sound great although I have to say that I like the sound on the one SACD I currently own, Dark Side of the Moon, immensely. Diana Krall, and Yes Fragile are both great on DVD-A. I think overall the sound is a slight improvement over my 1600.

I cannot find any of the Denon players on ecost. Are they out?

Mark,

Sorry folks, this is not an attempt to hijack the thread. I have a question about 563a. I just got one and am finding trouble accessing the two channel hi rez track on sacds. It only plays 5.1 track. What do I need to do to get this track?

I had the opposite trouble. It's in the dvd players on-screen setup menu's. Poke around in there and you'll find it.

They had them for a week or so but then sold out. They were refurbs at a great price. With E-Cost you just have to keep your eye out as they get different items in.

The Denon DVD-5900 just reappeared on eCost today for a little over a grand so I had to jump on it. Sounds like some of you guys have had good experiances with the "b" stock/refurb's from them.

I did however add a two year extended warranty for $117.00 to go with it. Still about $600.00 cheaper then anywhere else and Denon's manufacturers warranty is only 1 year.

The deal is back for the 2200. It is $295 at the Denon refurb websites. Pretty damn good deal.

I couldn't find the Denon 2200 in stock at any Denon authorized internet dealers. No big deal, I'll wait until eCost has it in stock again (I can only hope).

I do have concerns about the availability of the extended warranty though. I checked with both eCost and the warranty provider and they both said this warranty is only valid in the US, despite the details section explaining that it is transferrable to anyone in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico.

Does anyone have warranty experience with eCost they can tell us about? How about knowledge of companies that extend warranty coverage into Canada?

Thanks.

I read the shootout of DVD players on hometheaterhifi.com and they rated a couple of Panasonics pretty highly, the RP-82 being the one that got me interested. As it turns out two other models RP-56 and CP-72 were similar (Sage-Faroudja chip) and I found them in some closeout stock at the Panasonic Store locally. $85 for each, the 5 disc CP-72 being new in the box. All 3 of these Panasonics rated slightly above the Denon 2200.
