Glad to hear it. I'm to the point now of looking at a new dvd player to replace my Pioneer DV-525. Your Yamaha is intriguing because of the Faroudja decoding. I also was considering the dvd-2200 as well as some "higher end" units by Rotel and Arcam. Arcam's units in particular get great reviews for picture and sound quality. Please let me know you're thoughts on upgrading. Thanks.
