BWfreak,
This thread is entitled Denon 3910 opinions, and the ones at AVS are as valid as any, especially on the video side of things.
There are quite a few posts on failure to read dvd's, sa-cd's, dvd-a's, slow reaction time, and a few layer change posts besides the macro blocking issue.
The fact is that it does not matter if the macro blocking is because of bad dvd authoring if it is Denon players that are showing it in excess, and other players are not showing it at all, even on known problem discs.
If I were leaving the player stock,I might not be as concerned about possible problems, as the player would be under warranty.
I did receive my HDMI/DVI adaptor today, and will pick up a 3910 for comparison tommorow, if they have one in stock.
In the mean time, here is another pro reveiw of the Onkyo sp 1000 vs the competition including Denon.

It seems the French and the Germans both think the Onkyo is king, even though it sells for around 5k there.
