I'm back with more problems. As always, thanks in advance for the advice.
I am not satisfied with my current Panasonic Ht-730 480p DVD player. I want something like the Sony DVP-NS75H or the Samsung DVD-HD860. The catch with these devices is that, while they have apparently smashing video quality, they only support stereo outputs. I would like to get this upconverted video signal and the 5.1 audio that I have come to expect. The last thing is that I don't want to spend a lot of money. I've seen upconverters with 5.1 but usually you have to buy the whole stupid package with six new speakers. If anyone could offer some sort of solution, I would greatly appreciate it.
