Strengths: Comfortable user interface, discreet power on/off. Well-thought-out player.
Weaknesses: Pricey, but then it's a Denon
Summary: I was willing to pay the extra price for this player over other upconverting players for several reasons:

1) Fast forward and fast reverse work smoothly.

2) Discreet Power On and Off signals from the remote (makes it work much better with a universal remote).

3) The front display is readable and has adjustable brightness (it claims to adjust automatically, but I haven't verified that).

These may seem like small issues, but for me they differentiate a quality well-thought-out player from a lesser one. The picture and sound quality are great (using 720p, 2-ch stereo), but then most are these days. It offers all the options you'd expect without overload. I'm not a high-end audio/videophile, but I appreciate a product that feels comfortable. This is the first Denon product I've ever owned and I think I'm now a convert.

Strengths: Upconvert to 1080i; Excellent quality on both video and audio
Weaknesses: May not play all DVD+/-R discs
Summary: Denon is one of the most respected brands in high-end electronics. This DVD-1730 player lives up to the Denon reputation. It delivers much sharper picture when upconverting to my 1080i plasma tv. The audio quality is impressive too. However, it does not recognize all my DVD+R or DVD-R discs. Tried 5 discs and 2 won't play.
