Panasonic DMR-HS1 vs Sony DVP-S999ES...best buy for 1200 retail? (1 Viewer)

[Jeffrey Chin]

I got the 999ES DVD player. It has OSD for MP3 CDs, so u can navigate and choose songs directly from your TV.

Do the other Sony models do this as well? I love this feature.

I understand the Sony unit does not suffer from the Chroma bug. How about the Panasonic?

 

[CraigL]

Nope...with the Panasonic...you get the "washed out" bug

Based on very strong redbook performance reviews on Audio Asylum and the Super Audio capability, my heart is with the Sony.

Where was it mentioned that the 999ES did not exhibit the 'Chroma Bug'? -gh

Jeffrey,
Please do post a review of the 'NS999ES. I am especially curious to hear your thoughts on its performance with CDs and SACDs.
Lee,
I would never have expected you to favor the Sony over the Panasonic.

This post is probably a little ahead of its time, but if anyone spends time listening to redbook quality with the 999 please give some opinions!
