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

I have auditioned the Denon 2900 and for under $1000 it has the best DVD picture I have seen plus they incorporate an 8MB buffer to eliminate layer changes. The cd, DVD-a and SACD performance is quite good, not as good as some units, but you would have to spend more money and only you can decide whether it is worth it for yourself. I have seen the 2900 for under $800 new on Ebay.
