Did I do ok?


Hi,
I'm not really a video guy, but I do ocassionally watch DVD's. To that end a few years ago I spent $100 on a used Panasonic DVD player. It has recently started not recognizing discs inserted into it, and not being able to play them. So I decided to buy a new player. Here is what I came up with, an Onkyo DVSP 300, which is progressive scan (can't use it), a SACD player (don't care), a DVD-A player (don't care), and a regular old DVD-V player with a component output. I got this beast new for $99.88 plus free shipping. Is this a good player and did I get a good price? I'm thinking I did, 'cause the same player at Oade Bros. was $150. I usually don't ask questions to validate a purchase but I find the world of video so bewildering I'm looking for some reassurance from you videophiles. Thanks in advance!

I don't really care about video either. I would still be interested in this player. I have a Sony SCD 777es for SACD but I would have bought that piece for the DVD-A. The cost is nearly nothing and I could get the Queen "A Night at the Opera."

Then I could watch the occasional DVD too. You did good son! Now go to your room!
