I've tired of PowerDVD crashing and watching on a monitor so am
looking for a set top box DVD player. Audio will be processed by my
Onkyo AV Receiver (can use Toslink or Digital Coax). My TV is a 19" GE
RF-only model which I don't plan to replace for several more years until the HDTV switchover.
Video signal will be sent on composite cable thru the VCR (so
macrovision will need to be disabled).
Please follow-up with your recommendations. I am in the USA. Internet
or local stores (Walmart, Sears, Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio
Shack) would work.
budget - about $100, or a bit more if build quality would improve
required:
Single-Disc
DVD Video, VCD playback, CDR VCD's
remote control
RCA composite
toslink or coax digital audio output which passes AC3/DTS to receiver
macrovision over-ride (TV is RF-only, so video must be passed thru
VCR)
NTSC
would-be-nice:
S-video output
component video output
region-free
PAL
CDR, CDRW, CD, SACD, HDCD, SVCD, MP3, JPEG CD, PCD, DVD Audio
HT System
