I have been very happy with my Denon DVM-3700 which I use for both DVD and CD playback. I purchased the unit in May, 2000. The DVM-3700 is expensive. It has superior sound to my Pioneer Elite CLD 53. However, the Denon will not play CD-Rs or CD-RWs by design. So if you intend to play these type disk this player is not recommended. I agree with Ray knowing now that players are in a transitory to truly multi-play units. I have heard the SACD and it is awesome. I probably would not have spent as much on this unit. Other than it limitations play CD-Rs and CD-RWs, it is a great player. The carousel is a very nice feature.
