looking for an inexpensive dvd player


my pioneer universal cd player is showing signs of wear.
it may need to be replaced.

i would like to purchase a player with some subtraction in the treble range--a player which may take the edge of bad recordings.

i would like to keep the price under $400.00 and preferably new.

my friend purchased a denon 2910. i listened to it. it was ok, but the cost is about $529.

any ideas ? thanks

Oppo DV-970. $150. 30 Day Return Policy. Don't like it...send it back.

Used Pioneer 47A or Pioneer 47Ai.
If SACD is not required, the Cambridge Audio Azur 540 DVD player would fit the bill. It offers DVD-A, in addition to CD and DVD playback.

It has been discontinued, but it is available for $260 from
Spirit Sound
.

I 2nd the Oppo - it's a great machine all the way around, for all formats. Best under $1k machine I've heard.
