I just bought a Denon 1910 DVD which has dvi output. It is hooked to a Toshiba 51HX83 RPTV. Is there any advantage to running a DVI cable. The dealer is telling me the componet video is better with an analog tv. I would appreciate any comments. By the way does anybody else own a 1910 ? How good is this DVD player for HT and music?

If you hook it up using the DVI cable the 1910 has "up Scaling" that up converts the picture to 720P or 1080i. I have the 2910 and I have it hooked up with Component cables.
The Up Scaling is the only reason that I can think of to spend the extra money on the DVI cable.
There have been people that have posted on the guide their comments about the quote on quote "up scaling"
1910 is a good little player for the Money. Denon makes a good solid product.
NOTE: Your manual has 'note *1" talking about HDCP stuff. and the DVI cable.
"No signal is output when a device with HDCP compliant DVI output is connected to a display that is not HDCP compiant. A display that supports HDCP must be connected to view this content via DVI"
Something to think about as well!The Bitterness of poor quality last longer than the joy of low prices. -
I have the same set up except the 48" version of you're tv. I bought the cable, and went back to the component (That $125 could have been better spent). The picture is "better" thru components. The DVI is bright out of both the 1910 as well as our Samsung HD set top box. I see things that distract me in the picture with dvi while watching dtv or dvd's, artifacts? Not a video gurue so? The 1910 for $250 is a respectable little player for both video and music. I can tell good recordings from bad with it on cd's so that makes me think they did a good job.Comment

The short answer is that it depends on the players DVI vs component output, the quality of the DVI vs component cable and the TV's DVI vs component input and scaling. In other words the only way to tell with your player, cables and TV is to connect both options and judge for yourself. Try not to make any final judments on either connection until you've calibrated both inputs on your set with DVE or AVIA discs

I was able to try my new Denon 1910 and compare it with my LG7832 (canadian Zenith DVB318 clone). My LG was bought the 1st day it came out, and has the first firmware version, and I didn't perform any firmware upgrades on it.
-I find picture quality to be almost the same on both. On... -
Hi,
If you're thinking of a new DVD player and fancying a Denon - have a look at this LINK. Denon will be releasing a new range of DVD players over August / Octoer replacing the 2200, 2900 and 3900 with more features / lower price etc.
I'll be waiting and buying one...... -
i'd like to know how prevalent my current problem is.
i have a hidef receiver/dvdplayer (the LG lst-3510A) with an hdcp dvi output, and a projector with 1024x768 native resolution and an hdcp dvi input.
my problem is that the 720p output of the receiver is chopped off on... -
I just got my SE 20HD projector, and am in the hunt for my new DVD player with DVI/HDCP/HDMI output. I'd rather not go Bravo D1 because of its poor reliability issues... and it's the only non-HDCP player I know of.
To my knowledge, one device can strip / decode the HDCP from the DVI data,... -
What a drag: The moment you think you are able to match a brand name DVI player with a front projector with the much required "HDCP authorized" DVI input, more problems arrive:
Some DVI output DVD players prefer the companionship of certain front projectors. Forget 'Plug &...
