About 5 months ago, I bought a Pioneer Elite DV-37 DVD/CD player, which received a 5-star rating by "The Perfect Vision" magazine. I have been extremely pleased with both the video and audio quality of the unit. I bought the unit from Avantgarde Trading Company in Blaine, WA, for $625. I suggest you give the DV-37 serious consideration, although it is a bit above your proposed $500 budget.
