    What would you rplace a Panny RP-91 with?

    Upgrade dvd player to Panasonic RP56

    Hi all- I'm looking to upgrade my existing RP56 dvd player since it does not play DVD +R's. In addition, I'm looking for a player that handles DVD Audio. Would the Denon 2200 or 2900 be an acceptable upgrade? My main concern is picture quality and I'm afraid that the picture quality might be...
