Reliable 3-D Blu-ray player

The DN 500BD MKII from Denon is a professional Blu-ray player that has numerous outputs at the back - with a particular abundance of audio outputs. It plays Blu-rays, 3D Blu-rays, DVDs, and audio CDs without any problems. However, video, audio, and image files can be played just as well via the USB port. The HDMI port on the back allows Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio to be transmitted. An RCA output has also been added for each channel of a 7.1 surround sound setup. The compact 19" device also scores highly with its low weight as well as its ability to be installed in a space-saving rack.

Compact with versatile control options

The player supports 32-bit, 192 kHz audio resolution and 1080i video resolution. Dedicated RCA outputs eliminate the need for a receiver, allowing up to eight speakers to be connected directly to the player for immersive 7.1 surround sound. Otherwise, the coaxial output is used to connect to an external receiver/amplifier. The two XLR outputs ensure that the player can also be connected to a professional PA system. The DN 500BD MKII also provides flexible RS-232C and IP control options. In this way, it is also possible to connect it to a computer via a network cable, which can monitor as well as control the player. This requires an IP-Link enabled device such as a MediaLink controller or an IP-Link Ethernet control interface. The LAN port allows access to BD-Live content.

Reliable showcasing of digital content

The DN 500BD MKII is designed for both home theatre use and the presentation of digital content in bars, restaurants, hotels, cruise ships, educational institutions, or churches. Both conventional DVDs and Blu-rays be shown, as can image and audio files from a USB stick or SD card. In addition to the user interface, the player can also be controlled via a network and the remote control included in the scope of delivery. Its solid and robust construction also makes it a long-lasting companion.

About Denon

The Japanese-American company Denon was founded in 1910 and established itself as a leading brand in the 1930s. It has long stood for ground-breaking technological innovations that were frequently world firsts in their time. Denon's passion for invention has produced many remarkable technologies, including the first professionally usable recording device for gramophone records (1939), the first Japanese stereo records and stereo systems (1951), and the first PCM recorder, which was based on the same principle as today's CDs (1970). In 1982, Denon launched the first CD player for home use, the DCD-2000, another milestone among its already widespread innovations. Today the company belongs to D&M Holdings Inc. and is famous for its hi-fi and DJ products.

A large number of supported formats

The DN 500BD MKII supports BD25, BD50, BD-RE, DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and audio CD (CD-R, CD-RW), DTS Music Disc, and HDCD disc formats. The USB port allows connection to hard drives in FAT16, FAT32 and, NTFS formats up to a size of two terabytes. The following audio files can be read via USB as well as via the SD card slot: .ape, .flac, .m4a (AAC), .mp3, .wav, and .wma. And a wide array of video formats are also supported: .3gp, .avi, .dat, .divx, .mkv, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .m2ts, .ogm, .tp, .ts, .wmv, and .zsf. Images can be read in the form of .gif, .jpg/.jpeg, and .png files. This means, for example, that digital slide shows can be started via the player. The media can be fast-forwarded or looped. The Repeat A-B function, on the other hand, sets individual playback points so that only certain passages are repeated.

Oddily lacking base network capabilities
Alberto Pfeifer 26.10.2022
This unit can only be used as a direct disc player, which it does as expected.
However, and i find this extremely strange in 2022, the software on this unit completely lacks of any network player capabilities...so you can connect it to your LAN, but it won't discover any Media Servers on it (i have 3 different ones at home)...actually, there even isn't a menu to play from the network.
I am sorry to have to return this unit, my purpose was to have a network-capable player, and i failed with this product. Maybe the description should have a warning network playing is not present.
I tried to find any SW updates from Denon which could enable this functionality, but....there isn't any SW update at all that i could find, either directly from the unit (there is a menu for network SW upgrades, but no SW is found, not even the version currently on board!), or visiting the Denon website.

Another deficiency i discovered: when i plugged in a hard disk full of music files, all properly classified in directories, the unit does not let you browse by directory, but instead shows you a flat list of 7000 files...in alphabetical order!!! Impossible to manually scroll for 7000 files (or more) until you find the one you intend to play.
I am a Denon aficionado and own another BDP 600 unit from them, was hoping this could be another good purchase, but i failed in choosing.
Sadly, i need to return this back.

Play/pause/arrow botton
Landlord 28.04.2022
In my unit it is very ennoying that by insertion of a dvd/bd the play/pause/forward arrow... could not be used without starting the RC first. A basic operation without the RC is not possible. Up to now, nobody could tell me if this is normal or a problem in my unit.

Tolles Gerät und dazu preiswert
Roland_AT 24.03.2021
Rasche und unkomplizierte Lieferung durch Thomann.

Das Gerät erfreut einen durch ausgezeichneten Klang. Bildqualität sowieso dem HDMI entsprechend sehr gut.

Wichtig: installiert ohne stundenlanges Studieren in der Anleitung. Aufstellen mit Receiver und TV verbinden. CD rein und fertig.

Edit: Spielt auch Regio-Code 1 ab, was nicht immer selbstverständlich ist.

Manque le numéro des pistes
Greg 14 09.01.2022
Lire un cd sans avoir le numéro de la piste, c’est comme lire un cd au hasard. La seule information est le temps écoulé.
