I'm helping a friend to move up to a high end home theater. He saw that there are HDTV sets now available but no HDTV transmissions. I suggested that he get one of the HDTV ready digital rear projection tv's. Specifically the HItachi 53SDX89B. Anyone care to comment on that? The high end's latest features include component video and progressive scanning. I can find only two DVD players that output progressive scan info to the tv and cost less than $1500. One is the Toshiba 5109 and the other is a Denon 3300. Does anyone know of any others? Any opinions about the relative merits of these two? The receiver I'm recommending is the Pioneer vsx26TX. This does everytinng but switch component video and is about 100 w/ch all ch driven and THX rated. The others I'm aware of cost much more or are not thx rated. Anyone care to comment on this system? We havent even started to consider speakers and this is a stretch on the budget. Thanks for any info and help.
