Ok gman, so any DVD player that has HDMI output is an improovement in sound & image quality in our case?..

Is the 1.78 aspect ratio a 16/9, 4/3, other size screen? Can you tell me a little more about this choice since I'll also have to order one shortly..

I was looking in buying a Da-lite screen.. Is Carada a good product? What model are you then looking at buying? I find those screen pretty expensive..
