TrustedReviews: Budget usually doesn’t mean rubbish when talking about Denon’s kit, as proved by the DVD-1940 DVD player so the budget-orientated DVD-1800BD isn’t likely to disappoint. Although for Denon to call its DVD-1800BD Blu-ray player a ‘budget’ system with its £600 (approx. 720 Euros) price tag could be considered taking the proverbial just slightly.
On the Blu-ray spec front, the player only conforms to the 1.1 standard, so there’s no BD Live functionality. More importantly the DVD-1800BD does offer HDMI 1.3 output, support for Deep Color content alongside Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bit stream output.
CD audio is also taken care of pretty well by a dedicated 2-channel output.
