I've been a Laserdisc fan for a long time, and watch mostly music discs: rock concerts and opera. I'm using a Mitsubishi 35" direct view. 1. Is there any downside to using the DVD player on top of the TV, at least temporarily? 2. What should I expect in terms of sound quality feeding the DVD player into a high end Dolby surround sound system circa 1990?
Follow Ups:
Like anything, it is not ideal to stack compoents, but assuming it doesn;t fall off, you should be OK.
The sonic benefits of a DVD player over previous formats is the ability to pass a Dolby Digital (5.1) sound.
To take advantage of this you need a Dolby digital receiver or a receiver with a 5./1 channel input and a DVD player with an on board decoder.
BAsed on the age of your receiver, I bet it has neither (DD nor 5.1 input), but I bet your new DVD player does have a built in decoder.Bottom line- if you want to experience the sonic advantages of your new DVD player, you will need a new receiver that is DD (also called AC-3). The good news is that these can be bought starting at $200 probably, and a very solid unit (Outlaw 1050 or a Denon or Onkyo) could be had for $400-600.

Thanks for the info., my concern over placing the DVD player on top of the TV was whether the monsterous magnetic field would affect the DVD performance. I guess I'll try it and see...
I wouldn't put it on top of the TV, because of not only magnetic feilds, but vibration. vibration of the TV can have a large impact on the DVD player's accuracy.--TB
