Hi,
This is my first post but have been reading the forums for a couple of weeks.
My question is: I have a small budjet of around £300 to buy a new DVD player.
It must be a complete package, ie 5.1 and also able to play DVD -R.
I've read so much about Dolby Digital 1 and DD2 and also DTS, but a lot of this goes over my head. Is DTS as good as people make out and is there a BIG difference between DD1 & DD2?
At the moment I have a Sanyo AVD8501 DVD player...and it's PANTS. The rear speakers may as well not be there as they sound so poor.
The thing is I payed almost £500 for it when it first hit the market and have regretted it ever since, so I don't want to make the same mistake again.
That's why i'm asking you lovely people for REAL advice and not the mumbo jumgo I would get from the sales guys.
I have just brought a Toshiba 42inch rear projection TV so I would like something that will compliment it.
I'LL GET THE POPCORN....ha ha
Sorry for all the questions but me thinks I am a bit of a simpleton when it comes down to tecno gadgets....Now train spotting is a different kettle of fish...(only joking)
Thanks
Garry
