well, my unpopular opinion, i had a denon3500 ,replaced it with a rotel 1060, it was a downgrade in allaspects in my system, now i am using the arcamdv29, it completely blows me away, i would look into one of those.
happy holidays to all

I compared the RDV 1060 in an A/B comparison to the Denon 2910 and 3910. It beat the 2910 in sound and video and was equal to the 3910 in cd play back, but the 3910 had slightly (very slightly) better video quality. When it came to mutlie channel (DVD-A) the rotel was better then the 2910, and the same to the 3910.
As far as looks the Rotel blows them all out ot the water...dont negate the value of that.Comment

If it matters, keep in mind that the current generation of Rotel DVD players do not support HDMI nor DVI.

Rotel DVD In my opinion Bests pratically all DVD makers in the market with regards to Sound and Vision. The price can't be beat and the quality is superb. DVD-A is sensational a positive plus for Rotel DVD and you can't beat the beautiful lines and look that Rotel has...very classic and trendy with a very expensive look to it. Good Luck!!!Comment

I have used the RDV-1060 for several years now. It sounds fantastic through the RC1090 pre-amp, RB-1080 amp, & B&W 802 speakers. CD playback is good, but not the match of the RCD-1072. The RDV-1060 sound is much better than the Denon & Sony DVD players sound that I have tried on my system.Comment

What makes ROTEL DVD players special? Would I notice any diffirence in the sound quality comming from Toslink output of my $65 DVD player and a ROTEL one?
I've heared about good transporting mechanism in Rotel. My only concern that many cheap DVD players can be easily converted to free-zone... -
I know little to nothing about DVD players let alone from a specific company. But I am giving Rotel DVD players a hard look since I know the receiver will be rotel and it will match well - thus making my wife happy

OK. Some people say DVD players dont account for much when it comes to overall sound quality and some say they replaced thier rotel becuase it was their weakest link. I know I at least want Rotel becuase I want my system to look as good as it sounds.

Are Rotel DVD players made /designed in conjunction with JVC?
I just got a new RC-1050 remote, which is supposed to have built in codes for Rotel Equipment only, and All the DVD commands work on my JVC 412 DVD player.
Probably just a co-incidence that they use the same... -
Hello fellow Rotelians,
I am wanting to upgrade my current DVD player and was looking to get some feedback on the overall performance and owner satisfaction of the current Rotel DVD players from those of you that own them. I currently am using a Pioneer Elite player and am not really...
