  The thread below has some useful information. "dmunsil" and "sspears" were behind the very informative progressive dvd shootout in secrets of home theater and hi-fi.

  For an extra $20-30 the Panasonic RP82 is a worthwhile improvement on the RP62. The Faroudja chip will make a difference if you are sending your tv a progressive signal. You may or may not care about some of the other benefits of the RP82 . . . e.g. chroma-bug free.

  Crutchfield.com has the RP82 for $229, and you can probably find a better price if you search around.

  Disclaimer: I have the Sony 999es on order. May try to A/B it against a RP82 for comparison. Am using an RP62 as a temporary dvd player. 999 has better audio, but opinions on the video differ: technically the RP82 should be better (FLI chip, no chroma bug), but a number of people have reported a preference for the 999 . . .

    Hi,

    well, I visited their site & read all the information. I saw that these
    DVD player are very cheap at amazon.com, but it will be a long shot...
    I never saw any mention of these product ?

    Do you had the opportunity to compare it with other brands ?

    Thanks !

      A friend has one and I had it several times for a few days. I can`t say anything bad about them. They are quite nice.

  Go for the Pioneer Elite DV-45A it plays everthing DVD-Audio/DVD-V/SACD/CD & has been rated highly,I own & Like the sonics of the DV-47A at a cost of $800, you should be able to pick up the dv-45a for about $550.
  The other stuff is ok but...............

    Hi,

    maybe my post was not very clear. I want good audio, but when playind
    DVD only. I will use a seperate CD player for audio CD (Arcam Alpha 9). That said,
    I'm sure that some DVD player under $250 can reproduce DVD audio
    without beiing too harsh. I don't ask to get all the details I'm use too,
    just warm sounding.

    From what I just said, can you recommend me one of the DVD players
    I metionned ??

    Thanks for your help !

    Daniel
