DVD Player required

[arindam88]

I want to buy a DVD player this diwali (2morrow). Please suggest models/ make. Do'nt need much fancy addons. But it should play all formats including CD, VCD, DVD etc... Budget 4-5 K.:hap5:

The player has USB support, does it play from external USB hard drive ?

What speakers are you connecting it to? If you are using a receiver, those figures are meaningless.

 

[anirudh]

I am connecting to a receiver via coaxial output.

 

[greenhorn]

but hey, no DTS on the 5965k/98, at least not yet it seems . isnt that a big minus?

I am connecting to a receiver via coaxial output.

then i suppose the noise figures are irrelevant

 

[anirudh]

DTS will be added after firmware update in 5965k/98
