Denon DBP-4010UDCI Universal Blu-ray player

Conclusions

Overall, the DBP-4010UDCI succeeds at being an excellent universal disc player. The player handled every disc I threw at it with relative ease. The biggest weakness to the DBP-4010UDCI is its overall responsiveness. If the DBP-4010UDCI will only be used via HDMI and without a Denon Link capable receiver, then the player faces stiff competition from players such as the BDP-83 from Oppo Digital. Pairing this player with a Denon AVR which supports Denon LINK 4th will provide a state-of-the-art digital connection that should provide excellent results. The DBP-4010UDCI remote connectivity and control functionality coming in a future firmware update will provide consumers and custom installers with advanced options not available through other players currently on the market. These features together with excellent analog and multi-channel audio performance and excellent video performance earn the Denon DBP-4010UDCI the title of reference universal Blu-ray player.
