Bill if you were talking about buying a budget dvd player. I would say no big deal. But even with a discount I am sure you are pay top dollar for that unit since it is a McIntosh. If is does not have component output, I would guess that it is not progressive scan. Progressive scan can certainly give you a better picture on a high-end dvd player. Also using a component signal path will give some improvement over a s-video connection even without progressive scan. The only way I would buy that unit is if I had a very good line mutlipler and could get the unit at a very very reduced price.
