Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ?

Hi - Running Pioneer Elite Pro 520, Direct TV HD, Krell KAV 250a, and Krell KAV 500, Lexicon MC-1 with B&W N804, 805, HTM1. I gave my DVD plyr to my dad and need a new one, and would like to spend $1k or less given that I don't watch too many DVDs. Since I have the Pioneer TV, was favoring Pioneer DVD and looking at DV38a. Any new models or new stuff coming out? All advice appreciated... -Baz

My recomendation would be the Panasonic rp91k--on line price around 500/ less if you're lucky.I got one. Luv it. There is a firmware upgrade--I think 236--(last 3 digts)--Burn it and play the upgrade.--Got that also.

The new Pioneer 47 plays DVD-A and SACD along with regular DVD, CDR and CD's. It retails for 1200 but with discounts you can get them as low as 799.

Take a look at the Toshiba SD 9200 great build quality, DVD A, removeable powercord, copper chassis, etc. Retail is $1500 but they can be purchased for your price point.
