Need input...inexpensive universal DVD player.. (1 Viewer)

[mike caronia]

Now that the holidays are over and I won't feel guilty buying myself something...
Just moved into a new place and want to replace my old toshiba 6200.
I'm looking for a player that will do SACD, DVD-A, NTSC & PAL.
Are there any machines that meet this requirement?
Would it be possible to find in a B&M?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks 7 happy holidays.

Pioneer 578 or 563 come close.

thanks eric.
i looked at that unit on the web, it seems it will play ntsc/pal discs with some sort of fix?
if anyone can confirm they are able to play those discs i'd jump on this unit.
thanks.

I'm 99.9% certain that the Yamaha players will do this.

The 1500 will at $400

Yamaha also has a newer more expensive one coming with I-Link and HDMI at around $700 in a few months called the 2500.

The Pioneer 578 and 563 also have been a hacker's dream. You'll have to handle that very carefully. YMMV, for sure!
