thanks for clearing that up. sometimes it can all be so confusing but yes, I am having fun and looking forward to watching my old movies (and the ones I just bought the last two days) on the new system. I noticed you have the Pioneer DV-47A. My first dvd player was the DV-47Ai which I still have in my living room (bought the OPPO 983H for my theater) but it's still a damn fine player.
