Decent DVD Player

Jason,

Most of the comments you've received are on the money - the Pioneer Elite line offers exceptional performance/value. If you're hawking value, then the DV-37 is the choice; if you want absolute performance (short of about 5K), then the big brother DV-38A is it. While I am a Sony fan, the 9000es is older and cannot compete with the DV-38A (I've had them side by side for comparison). If you want any help in the acquisition, just drop me a line - good luck,

Mark

There is a Pioneer Elite DV-37 listed right now on A-gon for $500. You ought to check it out .....

I have the Pioneer Elite DV-09 (previous top-of-line to DV-38A- but no pro. scan, which is a non-issue to me right now anyways). Insane build quality, with fantastic picture/sound (operates as a top-notch transport as well). In the immortal words of a well-known NCAA college hoops colour commentator- A-w-e-s-o-m-e b-a-b-y!!!!!!!!!!

It all dependce on the money but before buying something I'd
look at Toshiba 9200 universal DVD player. It plays HDCD,DVD video,DVD Audio, SVCD,VCD,CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 and CD as a good cd player and also you can switch video cirket of for higher quality audio playback.

You may wish to check out the results of a very comprehensive DVD review. It can be found at http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_3/dvd-benchmark-progressive-shootout-2-8-2001.html

Good luck.
