Gonk & CJL1138, I appreciate the advice. The importance of getting a player with DVI & higher resolution video outputs to take advantage of the 990's DVI switching is just the kind of advice I was looking for.

I'm wondering if the 990's bass management capabilities have any implications for what I need or don't need in a universal DVD player. Any thoughts there?
