Rotel, no more DVD players?

Has anyone noticed the current "minimalist" line of Rotel high end audio and home theater components? Did they discontinue manufacturing all DVD players? They never did offer a Blu-ray player. I'm a Rotel man and have several Rotel components (multi-channel amp, AVR, CD player). Does anyone know what their direction is? I was an NAD man for decades and it took me some doing to make the switch but I'm glad I did. Rotel components for the price are fabulous. Anyone know what's going on with them?

I think its called the "advancement of technology". ;-)

Disc player sales as a whole will continue to dwindle. Hard drive based players and online media storage will replace all silver disc in time. It is sooner than some think..just MHO.

Most all DVD players are using Blu-ray and it isn't free to other manufacturers since it is a Sony product.
Home theater sales are down in general, Thank God, and it cuts into their profits.
I personally do not believe in hard drive based systems.
