I just ordered the epic 60 home theater speaker system and am about to order a denon 4802 AV receiver. In addition to this I am looking at purchasing a new DVD\SACD player. Any wise words or recomendations?
Thanks

What kind of inputs does your display/TV have; HDMI, DVI, Component, etc.? Are you interested only in DVD and SACD, or are you interested in DVD-A also?

Put the [/link] and the [link] the other way around. And remember to use preview! If you move fast, you can probably edit the post so we don't have to scroll all over the place...
In any case, that looks pretty cool. I've been looking for something like that for awhile.

My TV has coax, rca, and one s-video input. Im a newbie and I just discovered the existance of SACD a few days ago. Im hoping to find out what DVD player features other users have really enjoyed and what features (if any) arent really necessary. Due to your post I looked up DVD-Audio and I will be looking for a player that has that capability as well.

Look for players called "universal" players. That means they play DVDs, regular CDs (know as Redbook), SACDs, DVD-As, as well as other goodies.
I should have asked what receiver or processor you will be using, and what kind of audio inputs it has. Both SACD, and DVD-A require that your receiver or processor be equipped with 5.1-channel analog inputs called "multi-channel" inputs. If your receiver/processor doesn't have them, you can still get a universal player, but you won't be able to play SACDs or DVD-As until you upgrade your receiver/processor.

How much do you wanna spend? I would recommend the Denon 2200, 2900, or 5900 depending on your budget. There are also plenty of other opportunities through other companies such as Pioneer Elite, Yamaha, Onkyo, Marantz, etc...

I can second the Denon DVD-2200. Resonably priced and great features. Has played everything I've thrown at it. DVD+R, DVD-R as well. Only 2 small problems with movies, no resume function and the player will not automatically shut the disk drawer if open when you shut off the power. At the price it's a good deal. Sometimes avail at E-Cost as a refurb for under $300. That's where and how I got mine. Good luck with your search.
