My Denon 2900 locks up while trying to load the menu from the BtVS season 6 box set, disk 2. All other disks in the box set play fine in. The disk in question plays fine in my two computers, and in my old Sony S550D player. Judging from the look of how it fails, I am guessing a software glitch. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?
I received Season 6 a couple days ago, but I haven't tried the discs yet. I don't have a Denon 2900, either, so I guess I can't be of much help. Though, if it locks up in other players, you could at least narrow the problem down to the disc, at least in part.

So far, two computers and a Sony DVD player have no problem with the disk. I just installed a cd from Denon with the latest 2900 firmware. But it did not fix the problem. So my next step is a long shot and I am going to get the DVDs replaced.
If you purchased your 2900 from a local brick and mortar store, it might be easier to take the DVD to the store and see how another 2900 handles it.
By the way, you might want to try to use one of the other detection modes to see if that's the problem. Being a DVD from a TV show, it might have been recorded directly to video rather than film based. I think I'd try each of the different modes to see if one of the others handles it better. This might be a flag problem within the DVD that auto doesn't handle well.
