    Yamaha DVD-C750 or Onkyo DV-C802? Please help me choose..

    The Yammie defaults to 44.1khz (no upsampling) and Pro-Logic processing of CD's. So, I just run coax out to receiver, thus making Redbook playback "quality" irrelevant (It's the same bits going into the receiver). I haven't tested either player's ability to deal with scratched/damaged CD's...

    Yamaha DVD-C750 or Onkyo DV-C802? Please help me choose..

    In the printed CP802 manual, on page 6, in the Features secion, Onkyo claims that the video DACs are indeed "Advanced 108mhz 12 bit" So, on numbers alone, Onkyo equals the C750. So far, the C750 is FAR slower at changing and loading discs, even for audio CD's. The Onkyo was okay, Yamaha is...

    Brought home a C750 today. The menus are not quite as "slick" as the CP802, but functional. DiVX playback works as far back as DiVX 3 codec movies encoded in 1999-2000.. nice :) MP3 playback a tad more robust. And the "Downmix" 2.0 outputs ALWAYS downmix Dolby Digital content. So when I...

    WWW.JANDR.COM Or Search for CP-802B on WWW.AMAZON.COM and order through JANDR. Lastly, some price-search engine (Such as shopping.com or pricegrabber) have picked up on the $350 shipped price. Well, after one moderately sleepless night playing around with the CP802B, I have the following...

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick up the 750, and how much was it..? My Good Guys has it for $299.99, but it seems a bit cheaper online. I just swung by Fry's Electronics (Giant warehouse-type store with everything from cabling to computers, to computer parts, to soldering...

    Yamaha DVD-C750 or Onkyo DV-C802? Please help me choose..

    Well, the high-dollar systems most likely have FAR better A/D converters than my lowly AVR-320. Again, it's more a "philosophical" difference - I don't like feeding analog signal to a digital device. So, since home theater receivers will always do A/D for bass management purposes, etc, I prefer...

    My apologies for the upcoming long post. I figure, by providing all the information I know, I'll seem like less of a newbie, and maybe get better advice :) The short version: I want a changer that can play as many formats as well as possible. Focus on audio, as my TV sucks (Panasonic...
