pick a DVD player for my HT

Sorry i forgot, the player holds 301 cd/dvd/cdr/cdw, I think they have a new model, not sure but it maybe the dv 727. And it retails for $1,100. Pete

Minhthous, I just check the website and it is still the pioneer elite DV-F07.

The Arcam DV88 is better,I believe than any mentioned, but just over in price at $1500. The video is better, and the 2 Ch. playback is better. It is upgradable via CD rom disk loaded into the tray when the DVDA, SACD war is figured out, but already does CD/DVD/HDCD/CDR/CDW/MPEG etc.. I am unsure as to the cost of the upgrade to the progressive scan option which is also available.

Chstob, are you sure the Arcam will offer a SACD upgrade? I checked it out on their site because I like Arcam and thought it sounded interesting. All I could find was that they may offer a upgrade to DVD-A in the future and this would require a new board to be installed.

Look at the NAD T550. I have one and love it. It is great for HT, but is even better for music. One can be had for about $800. Make sure you get a new one as some of the older generation ones were still getting the glitches worked out.

Hope this helps.
