  You might want to wait and check out a new progressive scan DVD from Denon..the DVD-2800. It is going to be using a Silicon Images progressive engine, supposedly the best on the market.

  I bought the Pioneer Elite DV-37 for $650. Its Progressive Scan is awesome with the Sony XBR 36".

  Mits D6000.

  Got raved in SGHT.

  Ours is great. Search the archives, I've talked about it a bit.

  The Toshiba SD9200 (one of the best DVD players) is available for $1094 at store.yahoo.com/jvc-wholesale if you can go the extra $94. The Sony 9000ES may be slightly better in picture quality (though you will need an excellent TV/big-screen/projector to see it) and it has SACD capability, but you'll spend a few more bucks. Home Theater magazine has a review of the Toshiba this month and WidescreenReview did a review of the Sony in last month's issue.

    I purchased a Pioneer Elite DV-C36 last week. It's a 5 disk DVD player with P-scan. It is "marvy"! I popped in Dinosaur and it looks great. Gladiator, which is my most problematic, was transformed! The unit sells for $500 at United Audio, IL (tweeter.outpost.com). I am playing it through my 55" mits HDTV Projection.

  Pioneer DV717
  Toshiba SD 5200/6200
  JVC 723GD
  I have used both the Pioneer and Toshiba players, these are the only ones I recall with Progressive Scan in that price range.

  They are both excellent, but to get the greatest benfit from Progressive scan your monitor/projector should have Progressive scan capability.

  The Toshiba 5200 and JVC units also play DVD Audio- the JVC has had some pretty ordinary reviews for its audio performance. I did not have any DVD Audio discs to listen to so I can't comment on the Toshiba either.

  Good Luck.
