I totally did an impulse buy while I was at MicroCenter today during the Black Friday sales madness. They had a DVD player for $30 (without any of that mail-in rebate garbage), so I went ahead and picked up 2 of them. One goes in my office mainly for CD player duty, and the other will go to my parents for a backup player as a X-Mas gift.
The name of this player is the Sungale DVD8500.
Once I get some time I will hook it up to the HT and see how it looks and sound, but I'm not overly optimistic, and at worst, it'll just be a CD player for me anyhow.
I admit to getting it because it as 2 Mic inputs for Karaoke functionality.
It does have a DD 5.1 encoder (with 5.1 outputs), and has component/S-video/composite video outputs, and both optical and coaxial digital audio outputs as well.
It says it's even got Progressive Scan video output via the component video output.
It's supposed to play: DVD, VCD, SVCD, HDCS, MP3, CD-R/RW adn Kodak Picture CD.
All this for $30? Crazy.
