| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? BluRay Disks are expensive ($30.00 each), but you want to spend $8k on a standard DVD player? Am I missing something? This is a joke right? | |
| Is this a good deal for a used system?? If it does not take and process HDMI info then pass! There are allot of DVD players that will not pass DTS-HD except through HDMI (Sony PS3). Do not purchase any unit that can't take HDMI 1.2 or better. Some older units only have HDMI as a switch ... | |
