In Reply to: DVD/CD Player posted by Nglazer on September 12, 2002 at 10:58:42:
i'm told that progressive scan is necessary since the quality is twice as good. i have the pioneer dv-37 and it has excellent picture qualiy, it has progressive scan, as well as sounding excellent as a cd player. plus it plays cd-r's, a big plus. i only paid 200 for it.i am also using a rotel 985 dvd player as a cd player. it does not have progressive scan, but it's an excellent cd player (probably as good as can be had under 2,000), but it does not play cd-r's. i also paid 200 for it, a fantastic deal for the cd playing. it's is also suppose to have an very good picture, but not progressive scan.
i have not compared the rotel to the pioneer. my guess is that the pioneer is a better dvd player. the rotel is probably a better cd player, but the pioneer is really excellent in that regard too.
Follow Ups:
Thanks for all the advice. I ended up buying a lightly used Toshiba DVD 9200, principally because it is A - rated in Stereophile's recommended AUDIO components. I am sure the video is top flight for my purposes, but it is the audio I am most concerned with. Will report wehen i install and try out.BTW, do all DVD's have their music tracks in DVD-Audio format, or is this a separate format? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

DVD-A is a seperate format. Soundtracks on DVD-V are mostly DD or DTS, plus 2ch PCM for compatability purpose. It has to specifically say DVD-A.DVD-A playback is a pain. Requiring a display to navigate through the graphical TOC.
