Inbuilt wi-fi? Already putting in over 100 hours a week on this site, not sure could handle instant messages at all hours too...

Hi Clare. Why is the Sony better than the Denon. I have been comparing the two and to me the Denon sound better when playing music Blu Rays and has a better picture when watcing DVDs.  Maybe I am missing something because there is $400 difference in the price and I wish the Sony was better.

Clare Newsome:
We've reviewed the Denon DBP-2010 in our Awards issue; the Sony is better. However, for pure performance (rather than features and functionality) the Denon '2500BT is slightly better still - not surprising, considering its RRP of £750! With the added one-remote convenience you'll get by opting for the Denon transport, i'd seriously consider it - if the slow loading times and lack of Profile 2.0 don't deter you.... If they do, and for some reason you don't want the Sony (maybe you have a Pioneer TV and want to cut the remote count), the Pioneer 'LX52 remains a superb Blu-ray player, too.

 

 

I think she was saying the Denon 2500BT is better than the Sony if you don't need the extra features and speed.
