FS: Denon DVD-2200

[Alex2507]

See your PM's Alex2507

I see my PM but I don't see an email address to send money to.
Please let me pay you already so that Jerry Love can make his offer.
You're holding up my net gain!

I'm just messing around. Does anybody know what the 2200 crosses a small speaker at?
Come in j_garcia ... do you read? ... okay ... how about Seth?

Does anybody know what the 2200 crosses a small speaker at? :confused

That would be 80hz

Money sent. Congratulations on finagling the extra $1.65 out of me at the last minute to cover the PayPal fees. You must be ruthless at yard sales. I commend you good sir.

Hey, I saw what Seth L got on E-Bay for his 2200. I had to get as close to that as I could ya know

Yeah, and then Seth charged the buyer like $6,000 for shipping.

I do not need this player. I have a Blu-ray bumping out my Denon DVD 1920 but I sort of couldn't resist because of how much I like the 1920 and I suspected that the 2200 crossed at 80 Hz as opposed to the 1920's 100Hz. The video quality on my 1920 has made me quite happy in the past. I think the 2200 is suppose to be a step up from there ... but I still don't know what I am going to do with it.

Is it there, yet?

Matter of fact it got here today. The manual is shockingly thick like a phone book but it's in French and Espanol in case I decide to go for multilingual poor translation of presumably Indian speaking tech writers that Denon uses to write that jibberish that only MDS understands anyways.

I guess the part about original box got overlooked but that's alright. I'm just happy to get the 12' Monster 2cv cable. That is some sexy wire. It was packed in a Denon AVR 1907 box though ...

... the shipping on this was $15.51 so Gov got ~$41 out of it. Does anybody remember what these sold for new?

It seems ridiculous that it was $599 back then and now it nets you $41 after throwing in what is probably over $100 worth of cable.

I think I may need to buy an old 720p Pioneer just so that I can test this thing out on. I hate messing with the main system. How long do you think it'll take me to hook up the BD60?

I'm still not sure why I bought it. Nor do I understand why he sold it. I guess he doesn't know anybody that he could have given it to. All his other gear is nice-nice and he's sold stuff here before so it's not like he needed the $41 for crack. I guess this model is older than the 1920? ... no HDMI. I think it's cool because it's kind of heavy.

Davemcc was right about me maybe having a thing for antiquated gear.
I'm certainly thinking about taking it apart.

 

[Adam]

...$100 worth of cable.

Maybe $100 in retail cost, but about $5 in WORTH.

How long do you think it'll take me to hook up the BD60?

If not a joke, about ten minutes.

This will go to my quote box!

Of course, what self respecting audioholic wouldn't take it apart?!

Not that you deserve any more respect, even if it's from yourself!

 

[Seth=L]

I don't know what to say about the cross-over point, I'd guess 80hz as it's the standard, but don't hold me too that. I guess you'll have to translate the manual.

 

[Alex2507]

about ten minutes.

I've already spent 10x that agonizing over having to pull my gear apart and I have instruction-phobia-mania. I hate reading manuals because they make me feel like a monkey but I read them to feel less like a monkey.

This will go to my quote box!

I am deeply honored.

 

[Seth=L]

I am deeply honored.

I thought you would be.

Okay, okay. 12 minutes.

 

[Gov]

Glad it arrived in one piece!! Yes, I did not need the "crack" money for this one Yeah, these players were a MINT when they were brand new, so needless to say, I bought that one used a couple of years ago.
And yes, I did not have anyone to give it to and no longer needed it! I mean afterall, who the hell wants a DVD player these days
