OK gang, I am soliciting opinions here. I got my monthly Worst Buy 10% off coupon. I do not yet own a DVD player, not do I have a HDTV or surround sound system. Yet. The initial plan is to purchase a DVD player nest weekend with the coupon. I am then hoping to get a new receiver within the newt several months. I have two spare speakers that I can use for rear channels and a subwoofer. I am interested in multi-channel music.
The DVD player under consideration is a Toshiba 4700. I understand that the progressive scan will be of no use to me, but I am intrigued by the possibliliy of DVD Audio when I get the receiver.
Is this a good way to go, or would I be better off to get a cheaper player with fewer features and upgrade that later? It seems like for the difference in price between the 4700 and the cheapest machine, (probably less than $100)excluding an Apex or the like, it seems wiser to get the better machine.
BTY, I did a search on this forum in the 4700. MP-3s are not of much interest to me, although I can make them on my computer. I will probably also keep my cd player, so regular cd performance will not be much of a factor.
So waccha think?
