Well, suppose we eliminate the requirement for built-in DTS. How much does that open up the choices?I appreciate your answers.
Third and best DVD player I've owned. Component/s-video/composite video output for great flexibility (I use component). Decodes DD and Dobly Pro-Logic, passes DTS via Toslink or coax (will also pass DD/Pro Logic bitstream for outboard decoding). Also has HDCD decoding for CDs; best CD playback I've had in my system (out of probably 6 CDPs). Many features, good remote which is preprogrammed to control most TVs. I highly recommend it. I've seen it priced as low as US$325 on sale at the big box electronics retailers.Good luck!

It has two disc trays which can be accessed independently. You can load a second disc while the first one is playing and set the machine to auto play the second disc when the first one is done (or not). I like this feature when playing music CDs.Lee
I've had one for about six months and I'm very happy with it. DTS seems to be withering anyway. Try it as a cd player too, you might be surprised.
I just played with a friend's this past weekend and compared to my Sony DVP-S3000 (now unavailable) I find it annoying. The track access is SLOW; like an IBM 486 compared to a Pentium. For some reason the software access on this thing is very slow. Anyone else vouch for this or was this a singular problem with this player?
