pick a DVD player for my HT

I think the Pioneer Elite DV-09 has been missed, yes, it doesn't play progressive format, but has great 480i! It also has exceptional DAC's, and can be had used for $800.

By the way MSB is working out a progressive upgrade for this player, given it's been many mags reference player for a while, I'm sure this upgrade would keep you at the near top of the market for far less than the $1200 you're looking to spend.

If you want resale value and a great picture you buy the 9000es as the resale market will be bigger because of sacd.

I've just orederd the new Pioneer DV38A the successor to the 37. Someone is selling them on here for about 1400.00.
have a look, along with Toshiba and Sony that others have mentioned. Of course, there are some reference player at +$3000n that are probably a little quieter.

Minhthous, Check out the pioneer elite DV F07, last years model feb 2000. I have it and love it. Music is great with it and ht as well. I have many cds/dvd, around 200+ and the pioneer lets me put them into 10 audio and 10 video catagories that I get to name like(rock, female voc, jazz, etc) movies(history, action etc) this is all onscreen and makes finding your cd/dvd's easy to play/find. you can even hook up keyboard to it. And you can hook up 2 of them for up to 601 cd/dvd/cdr/cdw. It has opt/coax, component, composite. You can also hit this "best" button when you listening to a song and it saves up to 50 of your favorite songs for play back at another time. I like this feature so I don't have to go thru each cd to listen to my favorite songs. I think pioneer has something great hear. Good lucK. Check out their website. pete

Sorry i forgot, the player holds 301 cd/dvd/cdr/cdw, I think they have a new model, not sure but it maybe the dv 727. And it retails for $1,100. Pete
