oogins Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I'm very interested in this DVD player mainly for its DVD-A decoding. However I can't find any info on the bass management for DVD-A. So I'm wondering if anyone here owns one or has some knowledge about it. Does it have any bass management for DVD-A? The DVD-3300 is a first generation DVD-A player, so I think I already know the answer but I just need to be sure.

T2K Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 http://www.denon.com/catalog/products.asp?l=1&c=4 oogins,I have the player in question.I bought it from U-Bid simply for its ability to play DVD's and CD's and I am very happy with it.The DVD-A was a bonus. Price would be my paramount concern if I was buying now as prices have dropped dramatically.The DVD-Audio sound gives you a good idea of the direction of audio in the future. What specifically do you want to know about the bass management? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossVTaylor Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Oogins, I'm going to presume that you're asking about bass management as it relates to music and the multi-channel outputs. This seems to be the biggest omission in the DVD-Audio players, and this is what most of the articles have been about. I've also got a 3300. While I'm quite happy with it, it does not (according to what I've read) have bass management for DVD-Audio music. It *does* have a bass management/speaker setup menu (which just gets your hopes up...), but I've read that this only works with Dolby Digital or DTS signals and NOT with DVD-Audio. I believe that to get the bass management you want, you're going to have to buy Outlaw's ICBM .

oogins Posted November 21, 2001 Author Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hmm... The ICBM looks interesting. The adjustable crossover is appealing as well. Thanks for the info Ross.

RossVTaylor Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 The ICBM's been discussed for a while, and eagerly awaited, in the AVS Forum's community. The comments there are extremely positive. The unit was also reviewed in this month's (Nov 2001) Sound and Vision (page 85). There were really no low points to speak of.
