To some people DVD is a better picture version of a VCR.

I recently purchase a top surround receiver and 5 speakers. It truely sounds as good as a good theather. But I used to listen throught my two channel system. The two channel system was much better than the speakers in the TV.

I have three friends that have purchased large screen TVs in the last few months. Each has also purchased a surround system.

Although I have a high def TV, I mostly rented tapes until I got the surround system. On my TV the different between DVD and tape was not a big deal to me. But after I got the surrond system, the difference in sound between DVD and tape was huge. I only use the VCR to tape TV and I will never buy another tape. Sound quality is really the feature that makes DVDs great.
