I am a relative newbie and am looking for a good DVD player. I have reviewed the tips in this forum and the Secrets of Home Theater and HIFI DVD Shootout. I have ruled out certain brands because of this information.
I am buying a whole new system. I have a clean slate here. A/V Amp, projector/screen, speakers and DVD player.
Right now I am looking at the Yamaha RX-V2400 or 1400 receiver. They fit the price point and have good features. I plan on using a Refurb Sharp XV-9000U DLP projector. A friend has one and it looks awesome. Don't know about speakers yet but it probably doesn't matter for the purposes of my questions here.
I am now considering the Yamaha DVD players. I want a 5 disk changer. My current choices are the DVD-CX1 and the DVD-C920 (I saw somewhere there is a 940 out but I don't see it on Yamaha's site). The Secrets shootout reviewed the CX1 and gave it relatively good marks. No chroma bug. They did not review the 920. I have seen a friends 920 (w/ projector) and it looks good although I am not a trained DVD player fault detector.
When comparing the two models on Yamaha's site the following four additional features are on the CX1: Film Mode, 3D Motion Adaptive Cross Color Suppression, Full 10 Bit Pipeline, 30P Video Compatibility. Nowhere in the literature does it explain what these mean or what the net benefit is to me. Both have the DCDi by Faroudja.
Here are my questions:
Does anybody know what these 4 features do?
Does the 920 have chroma bug?
Is the CX1 worth almost twice as much?
Am I missing the boat altogether and should I be looking at completely different players in this price range?
