trying to decide between the Pioneer 414 based on a friend's recommendation, the Panasonic A-120 or the Toshiba 2109. I can probably get each of them for $299. The Pioneer and Panasonic, I'd get locally, and the Toshiba has a good deal at e-town til Mar 31st. But I've heard lip sync problems with the 414, and only minor problems with the others. many people complain about the remotes on the Panasonic and the Pioneer (small buttons, etc..) but I don't care. I only need the coax output so the Toshiba is fine without a Toslink. I don't think I need to play CDRs at least i don't have a CD-R in my PC anyway. I can't decide.. Here's my desires:
1)DTS/DD out-no built in decoder
2)DVD quality only, I have a CD player
3)dependable, no unfixable problems.
4)video quality (note: I'll only have a 20" tv with S-video which is why
i'm not terribly concerned with the video quality, I figure most of these are 3rd generation or better by now)
Do you think the 414 is a good purchase??? All these lip sync problems are scaring me.
