I'm split between the Toshiba SD-4800 and Panasonic CP72($30 rebate)/RP82 and I have a few last questions.
First off, I'm not concerned about the chroma bug in the Toshiba and I don't need non-anamorphic scaling. I'm pretty sure I'd be happy with the PQ of each one and I need the onboard DD/DTS decoder.
How is the build quality of each unit?
Which one is going to be more tolerant of VCDs?
Does one of them have an easier interface for playback of MP3 CDs?
Also, I have a touch of an inclination to want to be able to play non-NTSC discs since I have two (even tho' it would be easy to get NTSC versions of them).
Does anybody have experience playing non-NTSC discs with either of these players? I understand some players allow bypassing the non-NTSC (PAL?) error screen, while others can be "chipped" to allow playing "region free" (or whatever you call them) DVDs.
Thanks,
Tim
