Opinions welcome for best overall DVD Jukebox player. Main criteria for me would be which one transmits best picture. I currently use a Camelot Technologies Roundtable single play which is second to none for picture, but after watching a movie a couple of times it would be nice to have movies available for instant access. Thanks for your opinion in advance.

Nothing will match that except newer, better, less-expensive, single-disc players. There are only 2 megachangers being made right now, both from Sony. The more expensive one is better. 777ES. If you are very discerning, you may find it a step down. Nobody has ever bothered to put their best stuff into a megachanger, yet. Silly, really.

I have the sony dvp-cx777es I think the pic is great and all my stuff is in it. there is tons of post on that changer here: [Link: agoraquest.com] there are even mods for the changer they have found.

here is what I found also:

DV-5900M
DVD Audio/Video Changer




Kenwood's unique three-disc Rental Zone™, patented Faroudja video processing, progressive scan video output, and DVD-Audio capability with internal Bass Management give this world's first "400 + 3" DVD mega-changer an enormous performance advantage. The Rental Zone, complete with separate Play and Eject controls for each disc, allows easy insertion and removal of up to three discs without disturbing the permanently-housed collection. An array of patented video processing circuits developed by world-famous Faroudja removes jagged "staircase" effects that can degrade picture quality while enhancing subtle details and colors for near film-like quality. Playback capability includes DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP-3 encoded CD-Rs and –RWs. Built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, PC Link NetNamer automatic disc titling, RS-232 interface, dual side play, and daisy-chain capability (up to 3 can be linked), and an infrared keyboard merely hint at this player's potential.
