Hi
I am looking for a new player and Pioneer 565 or Yammie s540 are what I narrowed my search to (after reading some reviews and searching up this board) - and despite some lovely conversations with the Richer Sounds bloke CA DVD57 is not on the list.
Primarily what I am after is picture and sound quality (stereo the mo, but to be upgraded to 5.1 soon). JPEG and MP3 are desirable. SACD and DVDA - not interested. Current TV is non-prog scan.
I appreciate that 565 is twice the budget, however if the pic quality is that better I would go for it. Otherwise if all important stuff is equal I'd go for s540.
Also, if I go for s540, I understand it is easily region modded by inputting some magic number. However does this negate the warranty and whether its worth buying a slightly more expensive pre-modded version?
Any advice or comparisons will be appreciated
