My 2900 doesn't even skip on Monsters Inc., which is known to be a horrible layer change.

It's a silly issue that Denon overcame in 2 of their machines, but not all of them since their latest $2000 machine doesn't have the fix. Can't explain that, or why no other mfgr has fixed it. There's a buffer in every DVDp in existence, the one in the 2200/2900 is bigger and programmed to allow for about a 2 second delay to be covered, erasing visible layer changes. I'm guessing that the bump from a 2 or 4MB buffer to the 8MB buffer in these 2 machines costs Denon at least another $.50 per unit. Ouch.

Why does every single sub-$100 portable CDp have a 45 second buffer, but no other DVD players can manage to include something like this?
