Well, about 490V, many forumers in the AV discussion forums dislike this model. Seems it is not as what they have expected from a Pioneer player. This goes for their 696 as well.

So, thats why I bought the Sony 76H. At least I got good remarks from some Australian AV forum.

Bro Mike,

It is a good dvd player, come, come, lets join the Sony 76H gang...... ehh ....... dun get the wrong idea, I'm not working for Sony, okay? Hahaha.

Gladly. I don't make money from this but heck... took me hours and nights of searching through internet. Almost opted for Oppo. But chickened out at the end.

Anyway, there is not much choice left for us for these HDMI players. So, what to do?

Sony NS76H is acceptable for low end HDMI player. Higher end is not. Most might want to get a 3930 or at least 2930 Denon.

Denon 2930 around RM3000. Never asked on the 3930. But Pioneer 989 is around 3k+ touching 4k.

If you asked me, its not worth spending so much when we most of the time watch ahem DVDs

Sony NS76H does upscale to 720p and 1080i. You get to choose somore.

nice thread, just wanna ask u guys, i planing to get a 29 incher sony crt, with 1080i,720p and 480p support,

which dvd players u guys recommends?

since its a cheap tv, the only HD connections choice are analog component in, so i dont think i need a hdmi players, just one tat can upscale to 1080i or 720p nicely...

thx in advance....

Well, The player is considered peanuts if compared to other investments on the AV.

But I never regret every single sen on my Home Theater. Everytime I watch a movie in the house, I feel like I need to buy ticket, then when finish, I feel like you go cinema and movie finish time. Ha! HA!...

I get the best seat, I get the best sound effect seat... But of course, my mom says it feels like watching movie in the class kambing (olden times, front rows are cheaper, they call it class kambing).

Its true. An best part is, I can pause when need go toilet, I can stop when feel sleepy and when hungry, the fridge is just 3 steps away. Ha! hA!...

I will make 1 seperate thread once all done. I've been taking pictures and all. Now, left eiling mount bracket. Once that done, I will do cable laying using PVC conduit (cable tray). And may be I will go get my component video and composite video as well.

So, hope can wait...
