Lovebohn Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I have a refund check burning a hole in my pocket and want to get a new DVD player. After months of reading reviews and looking for prices the Denon DVD-1600 is the player I'm going to buy. I will only buy this from an authorized dealer and have found it for around the low $400's. Has anyone found a better deal or have a dealer to call for a better price. I have to travel atleast one hour to find a dealership so buying over the phone is not a problem for me. I talked with 6th Ave where i bought my 3802 and they gave me the run around and not even close to what i wanted to pay and no reply from Good Guys. My two other sources will only sell for retail price. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Dave - This thread: http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?mode=viewtopic&topicID=31112 has several references to someone at soundcity who has done right by them. You might give him a call... dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovebohn Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 I looked at the Denon web page and they are an authorized dealer listed, are they located in New York? Has anyone had good luck with them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend9 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I bought two denon 1600s from nxgen.com. One for a friend, one for me. That was 3 weeks ago: No problem and works flawlessly. The picture quality is awesome. Only thing I hate is that I would use the remote to jump say from one song to #11 on karaoke DVDs, but it does not allow such thing! That just sux! Another thing is the remote is crap and the response to the remote is crap #2. The picture is worth it, but the functions? ....ahhhhhh Also the player is very very light. Either it has high quality parts ( which should be lighter than average parts) or simply this player needs to be review physically...

Lovebohn Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 The only problem i have with nxgen.com is i won't have a warranty through Denon if i would ever have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend9 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 That's true of course. If you can find an authorized dealer, which I think you did, for the price of 400, that's superb. I'm just giving you my two cents on my transaction with an unauthorized dealer, and not having any problem. Legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snails_Pace Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I have heard VERY good things about www.reliableaudiovideo.com, in fact, I was ready to order my 1600 and the 5803 from them until a 10% off deal through the military lowered each one's price to a point even lower than the best Internet prices. Like many other e-tailers at the sub-$400 mark on this player, they are not Denon authorized; but they do warranty the product themselves (which means if there's a problem, you send it to Reliable rather than Denon). Given that the warranty is only a year anyway and the player itself would be pretty light to ship, whatever "extra" you might have spend in shipping to Reliable in the very unlikely event there is a problem might be worth the extra savings to you up front...it's a gamble to be sure, but given the fairly good build quality on this player, I think the odds are in your favor. Just my $.02 - J.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovebohn Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Snail's_Pace, Legend9 and Doug thanks for the replies. I will post where i end up buying this from. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend9 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hey, no prob. I think don't think soundcity has Denon 1600 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovebohn Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Your right they don't carry it, but when i looked on the web page there is a store called Sound City-New York not SoundCity.com-Jersey?? I emailed soundcity.com and they said no they don't carry Denon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
