The 7000 was Sony's first outing for DVDPs and it was produced beginning 2 years ago (give or take). I don't know what was meant by "Macrovision." This is not a term that is commonly associated with DVDPs--watch out for the sales tech-jargon. The newer version (of which I am a proud owner) outperforms the 7000 across the board. As in any first-generation product, the 7000 had it's shortcomings, but it was (and still is) a very competant performer. The 7700 has some features the 7000 didn't have, and I think it looks and sounds better. The 7700 for example, could easily perform a dual role as your primary CDP as well (it has dual discrete pickups for both DVD and CD playback). Is it worth $550? Depends on your budget. For $400 more you could have the newer version which would be covered under a warranty (the 7000 probably wouldn't given it's age) and would perform better.
Hope this helped!
