Jason,
Quote:
it would be suicide for companies to produce DVD players that in some way do not support CD playback
I think you're misinterpreting that quote. Companies are dropping production of CD only players specifically because every DVD player supports CD playback. With more and more people owning DVD players, it makes very little sense to have a separate player just for CDs. I seriously doubt that any manufacturer is considering producing a DVD player that can't play CDs.
