DVD PLAYER RECOMENDATION

Stick with Denon for ease of use with one remote. Chadnliz is correct. You will find these discounted but beware of a lot of "B" stock (refurb or returns) and lots of unofficial dealers. For the wife, pay a little more to have it under a legit warranty.

My recommendation is not to spend a lot of money. Is your TV a DLP, Plasma, LCD, CRT etc.? I just bought a Samsung with upscan and HDMI output and it wasn't expensive... the reason for not spending a lot of money is that the format is changing. The new HD DVD players will be out at the end of this year and Blu-Ray is now backward compatible. It was announced by Sony this week.

Thank You for your help. I think I will stay with the Denon and keep the system simple. I will go with the 1920 new. It is in my price range. Thanks again.

If it's not too late, I own the Denon and would not recommend it. I have a Panasonic DMR-E80H which has a hard disk and DVD recorder which cost $699 two years ago and it kills the Denon 1920. You can probably get the same thing new for around $300 now.
