I recently purchased a Sony 36" flat screen TV(kv36f300). So it is time for a good video source. My first thought was the Toshiba SD-2800($109.00). I have heard excellent things though about the Panasonics, which I always thought as lesser than Sony and Toshiba. So I have looked at there products and wonder is the RP-62 the best it is a little more than I wanted to spend. What are the differences between the RV-32($92.00), CV-52($149.00), and RP-62(129.00@ Best Buy*); is it just there added features or will it affect quality of picture. Has anyone seen or used Mitsubishi DVD players, namely, the DD4030($99.00).

How is the sound out of theses players, music is a large portion is there one to lean towards?
I shop at Abt Electronics (local store and online retailer).
*The RP-62 price will be honored at Abt even though they are selling it for more because that is there excellent customer service.

Panasonic makes excellent DVD players. Also none of Panasonics DVD player have the Chroma bug upsampling error. All current Toshiba models have this bug and most Sony models have the error as well. Here is a list of current DVD plays with and with out the Chroma bug.

One thing you can do is remove the Panasonic RP-62 from your list because it's a progressive scan player. Since your Sony is a non-interlaced monitor the progressive scan won't work.
- Nope. The RP62 can be used in interlaced OR progressive. - Harmonia 22:43:13 01/13/03 (0)
  And yes, the Sony IS an interlaced display.
- I'd still consider it if it's a good deal - elliot 10:04:58 01/09/03 (0)
  I splurged for the RP91 and I have a similar Sony TV that won't take advantage of the progressive scan. Picture is superb. Actually the progressive scan is on or offable. Simply switched it off. Don't know if the rp62 is as programmable. Never know what the future will hold.
  Love the player though.
  Good luck
