pick a DVD player for my HT

Minhthous, Check out the pioneer elite DV F07, last years model feb 2000. I have it and love it. Music is great with it and ht as well. I have many cds/dvd, around 200+ and the pioneer lets me put them into 10 audio and 10 video catagories that I get to name like(rock, female voc, jazz, etc) movies(history, action etc) this is all onscreen and makes finding your cd/dvd's easy to play/find. you can even hook up keyboard to it. And you can hook up 2 of them for up to 601 cd/dvd/cdr/cdw. It has opt/coax, component, composite. You can also hit this "best" button when you listening to a song and it saves up to 50 of your favorite songs for play back at another time. I like this feature so I don't have to go thru each cd to listen to my favorite songs. I think pioneer has something great hear. Good lucK. Check out their website. pete

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.
