WARNING TO REGION 2 USERS: NO MP3

General Comments

I bought the Denon DVD800 together with an AVR1602 Receiver. Having read the specs on the internet, which stated mp3 compatibility, I went out and bought it. After having come home, it simply refused to play mp3's. When I phoned the distributer he explained that only the region 1 players have mp3 capability. I will have to send the player to the DENON distributer, who will remove the region limitor and I will be able to play mp3.
Minor drawback: it'll cost me $80......
Why, why, why? It's exactly the same machine. Why is the european software deliberately limited?
Anyway: take this into consideration when you're european!
