It has also repeated a disc until intervention. Slow to begin. In short, a great long lasting predecessor declines into [...]junk. I wish I'd bought a single -play NAD. [...]..." Read Full Review »

"Discs are VERY slow to load. Also, my unit failed after one year, and some Googling revealed a consistent pattern of similar failures with Denon disc players. Repair looks set to cost as much as the player. Will not be buying Denon again. "
