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

The Pioneer DVD 45A (at about $400) really does play both DVD-A and SACD, which some other players mentioned above do not. It is solidly built and sounds good to me...don't be put off by the low price. (Perhaps I should say: don't be distracted by the high prices of other players).

Regarding the "Chroma bug"...do some research on this. Most players (even High End ones) have it, and depending on your video equipment and the type of movies you watch, you may not even see the "problem".
