OK, I'm gonna do it. I'm going to get a DVD changer and replace the POS Toshiba DVD player and the ancient JVC CD changer with no remote control. Now which one should I get?
Here's my criteria:
*It has to have a good, responsive remote. No mushy buttons, no pressing buttons 14 times to get it to respond. My Toshiba remote is horrible, so bad that we are reluctant to watch DVDs.
*5 or more discs. I am unlikely to use the mega changers, but I'll entertain that.
*It would be nice to have a skip back 8 seconds similar to TiVo function. Anything have that?
*SACD/DVD-A would be really nice, but I only know of two of those: the Yamaha 950 and the Onkyo DV-CP802. The Onkyo does not appear to be available on this mortal plane, nor have they given any indication that it will ever be replaced. The Yamaha has the most miserable disc load times I've ever read about. And does not appear to do random play over different disc types. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll feel nice and stupid for not buying one when they were half off last year.
*DVD memory--I want it to remember where I was on multiple DVDs and let me return to that point. If it can remember that point after I take the DVD out, even better.
*Random play-it's got to be better than the JVC. I know exactly which tracks will play at the beginning: 4, 2, and 1. I have memorized every song on every CD I own that has those track numbers.
*I'd like to be able to get it through Amazon, since I've got a $100 gift cert burning a hole in my pocket.
*Video quality is nice, but I've got a 27" CRT. No biggie. I'm unlikely to replace that any time soon.
Sorry to dig this up again, but I really appreciate any advice anyone has on this.
