synthfreek Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I can score a mint one for $200 and it seems to be of better quality than the Samsung and Panasonic at Best Buy. Anyone hear this thing? Want it primarily for 2-channel sacd and dvd-a. Would probably replace my xbox as dvd source as well so I guess the picture quality is importatnt as well.

marksdad Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 that would be a really good buy, especially if it is a newer unit free of the chroma bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I'll throw a wrench into your find, how about a Phillips DVD963SA for $207.00 new shipped to your home. Check it out at Amazon.com. Tom P.S. Just realised it doesn't have dvd-a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthfreek Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 This may sound dumb but one of the few things that make me want to try out this multi-channel higher resolution thing is the DVD-A of The Flaming Lips album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Supposed to be one of the best out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I own the DV-47Ai, which has the firewire audio connection (i-Link) that gives you LFE Bass Management for DVDs and DVD-A. But, you'll need a receiver capable of utilizing the i-Link connection. Regardless, if this is indeed an "i" model it is an epecially nice find! Good luck!

InventiveAudio.com Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I assume you're talking about the older model. If so I won this unit and can give you a big nod on how good it sounds. I also own a Denon 2200 which is a newer machine. The Pioneer has a better picture where the Denon has more saturated colors. Sound wise they both sound great. The Denon is rated higher but I think the Pioneer is its equal and forget about the Chroma bug. The people who can see it are the same people who can hear the difference when someone changes speaker cable. I paid 700.00 for mine new 2 years ago. 200.00 is a great buy. The Phillips is not in the same league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
