Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Denon DP-29F Analog TurntableCustomer Review: Good deal for the money Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this for a few weeks now and love it. It's a fine turntable for a casual listener: simple operation, good sound. Note: there is a switch to disable the built-in pre-amp (which provides a good signal) if your receiver has a phono input.
Customer Review: Denon Turntable Missing Up And Down Arm Release Button Summary: 3 Stars
I was so excited to get this turntable, because it was Denon. The turntable sounds great, but I liked the Aiwa turntable and Sony turntable better. This Denon turntable does not have the "Up and Down Arm Release Button". Without the "Up And Down Arm Release Button", it makes it more difficult for you to be able to cue up a certain track, that is on the record album. So you pretty much have to cue the record up with touching the arm with your hands, which gives you a chance to scratch and ruin your record collection. Now if you are going to play the first track, on the record, then you can just press Start, and the turntable will cue up the record, and start playing the whole thing, until you press "Stop" on it, or by lifting the arm up with your hands. But since there is no "Up and Down Arm Release Button", on this Denon turntable, it is really not a full- automatic turntable. Pressing the "Start" and "Stop" buttons, can wear out the turntable. The Aiwa turntable and Sony turntable, had the "Up and Down Arm Release Button", so that you could cue up the record at any track, or to stop the music at any track on the record, without having to wear out the turntable, by pressing the "Stop" button, or "Start" button. The "Up and Down Arm Release Button", keeps you from scratching up the vinyl and ruining it, so that the needle can lay on the record more gently. This Denon turntable sure does need the "Up and Down Arm Release Button", so that you don't have to worry about messing up your records. I give this turntable a three, because it is really not a full-automatic turntable, due to not having the "Up and Down Arm Release Button".
Customer Review: Works Great! For about two years. Summary: 2 Stars
Finally an affordable quality turtable by Denon....wait a minute.
It plays records okay, but just after two years of owning it, I'm sending it in for repairs. THESE ARE NOT BUILT WELL, SCRATCH EASILY, AND LOOK CHEAP!!!!! AND The lid never closed all the way. After spending money on a high end receiver, cd player, ipod docking station, infinity speakers, the "good" cables, I was really let down by how this looked/sounded/functioned (it is clunky at best). Examine one before you buy!!!
Save up your money, and buy a nicer (direct drive) unit. This is a prime example of getting what you pay for.

Customer Review: Don't waste your money. Summary: 1 Stars
This unit is comical - really. Imagine a "hi fi" turntable that doesn't allow you to install another cartridge. Imagine a "hi fi" turntable that doesn't have a tonearm with a counter balance weight and anti-skate control. Aren't these "basic features"? This thing is a glorified "close and play" made of cheap plastic. Denon should be ashamed of itself for putting it's name on such a low end product. And by the way, the sound quality is equally lame. I guess you get what you pay for, but I expected a decent level of quality from a unit with Denon's name on it. Seriously, this unit isn't worth more than $50. You would be better off buying something used. I didn't do my homework on this unit, and I got burned. Thanks, Denon.
