1. I was not aware that Macrovision referred to the protection scheme used by DVD players.
2. I have not been able to run testing procedures both players side-by-side, rather was referring to my subjective opinion that, in the systems I have been able to see/hear (2 dealer systems and 1 friend's system), the 7700 does indeed look and sound better than the 7000. Was it the associated equipment? Maybe, but my opinion remains the same.
3. The shortcomings I refer to are the performance issues I have been able to discern, again, subjectively.
4. No, you didn't miss anything, although the menu systems in the 7700 I think are a little easier to navigate (according to a friend's opinion and my very limited experience with them), although I have not really played around with both players enough to know for sure.
5. I don't have access to a Meridian 506.18. In my system (and others') the 7700 performs very admirably as a CDP. Compared directly to my Adcom GCD-700 the Sony throws a notably wider soundstage with better front-to-back placement, particularly in complex orchestral passages. There are other things I feel the Sony does better sonically but I will refrain from explaining further so as to not draw another attack on my subjective opinions.
Instead of attacking what you claim is misinformation it would have been tremendously more polite had you instead asked why I stated the information as I had. I will apologize for my ignorance re: what "macrovision" is (and will thank you, Mike for explaining how this works), but will not withdraw or change any of my other statements. They are based on my direct viewing and listening experience with these units. I care not whether you agree or whether or not the 7000 actually may "test" better than the 7700. I bought the 7700 based on the performance parameters which were most important to me and do not regret my purchase decision one bit. I will also continue to recommend it as an excellent DVD player which does in fact, IMHO, look and sound better than the older 7000 model.
