Can any one tell me if a progressive scan dvd play

Now that the question of if its worth it to upgrade to a progressive scan play with a non-HD TV is anwsered. Can any one recommend a reasonably priced switchable player as mentioned by Stehno? Or is that something that is only found on higher priced players? The mentioned sony cost almost as much as my whole system. I try and buy quality at a reasonable price. I concider my system a budget system.It consist of: Yamaha RX-V800 receiver, dbx DX-5CD player, JVC XV-S45GD dvd player, Phillips 36" TV (non-HD) I'll upgrade later, Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck,Polk R40 mains, Polk RT35i fronts, Polk RT-25i rears, Polk CS-245 center,Polk PSW350 sub.I payed around $1600 for everything, so paying $800 to $1000 for the sony s9000es is a little out of my budget. I'm looking for picture qaulity that won't break the bank. Thanks to any one who can help.

Dbx, the sony dvp s9000es is well worth spending some time trying to find a used one for maybe $500 or so. The picture is first rate and the sonics of SACD and Cd will get you about 8/10th's of the way there.

There was a nice writeup of the s9000es in The Absolute Sound a couple of issues ago.

Good luck.

I agree with Stehno on the Sony 9000. I also have one and it is fantastic. For a one-source system that will do CD,SACD, and DVD it really can't be beat. I use it as my main source and love it. Paid $675 used, here on the goN.

Dbx, I just noticed in your post that you had 5.1 HT. The Sony DVP S9000es is stereo only. Oh well.

I'd recommend getting rid of the 5.1 surrounds, amps, and cables and just work on a good solid 2-channel system. Not only will you be able to more easily afford the equipment and sound you desire, but your system will sound probably even better, and your room will look better too.

Seriously, if you configure your 2-channel system with appropriate equipment and setup, you will not miss the surround sound.

2-channel for movies can easily be reproduced very well also. If the movies you are watching are good and your 2-channel system is good, your senses will already be so consumed that you'll never miss the surround affects.

Also, keep the subwoofer or upgrade it with the rest of the money you saved.
