Apparently the UEI database doesn't support Denon dvd players. I too had the 2200 and now have the 3930 and neither worked with my previous 950 remote and now the 990 remote. I called Denon and they were no help so we have to live with it.
Considering the price we paid for the 990 along with its features and quality, a remote that doesn't operate Denon dvd players is really no big deal.
