I picked up the DVD-1600 at Tweeter today. I'll test it out and decide whether I want to return it and get it cheaper online. Tweeter sold it to me for $425 which isn't a bad price, but I can beat that online. Tweeter knows me and they've got a great return policy so this will work for "audition" purposes.
tomdkat's
link above from the Denon website lists the DVD-1600 as having closed caption capabilities and aspect ratio functions. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it has either function. That page has a "tentative" notation at the top. I see no mention of either of these features in the owner's manual and cannot find anything like them in the player's menus.
The lack of these features could be the difference maker for me on this player. My first impression of the video quality is great, however. The DCDi chip does seem to make a difference in the picture. I'll have to test it for a few days to really make a decision on this player. I suppose I could always use this player for anamorphic discs and the Toshiba for non-anamorphic discs and discs with closed captions only.
I will say the Denon is a
PRETTY player. Looks awesome on my rack!
