Best Universal Player for DVD's , CD's w/ dvd-a

I am interested in purchasing a universal player. I am probably going to get the Rotel RSP 1066 which has one set of multi-channel inputs. I was told that a universal player was probably the way to go. I understand that Pioneer has the chroma bug. I am looking for something under $1,000. I read quite a bit and was going to get the Panasonic rp 82, but can only find "code free" for about $360.

Any hot tips or suggestions? Chuck

Chucke,

I would recommend either the Denon 1600 or the more expensive 3800. Both have excellent audio and video results, with the 1600 often being compared to the Panny RP82.

Ehart -

The CL-2500 never sells for $1,500, let alone over.
They can be had OFTEN right here for less than $1,000 all of the time. At least when listed! I have paid as little as $750 for one, but usually around $900 - $1,100.

Keep your eyes peeled.
