Curt,

I am just moments away from ordering this thing. Why would I want to do this when I have the wonderful Pioneer 563A??? I don't know. I don't have a problem with the Pioneer's video quality. Before I jump on the bandwagon, I just have to know one thing. Will I notice any difference on the audio side compared to the Pio??? The apple of my eye told me the only problem he has with DVD-Rs is during the intial start up. It hesitates for a moment and then plays them just fine.
