I'm buying my first DVD player. Some background. It needs to be entry level(300-400 $US, 500-600 $CND). The player must be competent at extracting music from conventional CDs (acting as source for secondary audio system). Built in DD decoding is not necessary, already have an HK AVR55 DD receiver. Lastly, I'm trying to avoid all the nasty glitches I've read about in Audio Review concerning audio drop out, audio sync problems etc...
TV set is a 27inch SONY Trinitron 'S' series . Currently considering entry
level SONY, TOSHIBA or PANASONIC. Any and all suggestions welcome.Diego
I am also looking at an entry level DVD player and I have decided to go with the Pioneer DV-525. Any reason your aren't considering this one? Just curious.
I have a Toshiba and am happy with it for DVD and it has had some good reviews. However I do not use it for CD play (use a Theta Data III/DSP IIIa combo) so cannot comment on audio - have not even put a CD on!Hint: although you might not need it now, purchase a player with component, S-video as well as composite output. Such players tend to be better reproducers of good video. As for audio, my experience is to not expect too much quality from PCM digital, even with outboard processors.
Hope this is helpful

I have to agree with John. The DVD players I have heard are poor at music playback. A $300 cd player is generally more musical than a DVD player.
Also agreed -- generally. The Toshiba 3109 I have isn't too bad at music (not that I use it much for that) and has HDCD capability. You could do worse, lots worse.
