A buddy of mine at work wants to buy a carousal type progressive scan CDV player. Does anyone make a unit like this?
Thanks

Denon DVM-4800

Or Kenwood 5900 or 5050. BOth are 400+3 CD/DVD changers, progressive scan. Play MP3's and much more.

You have a few choices, which one you choose depends on your needs and budget. My DVD player right now is a JVC XV-FA92SL which is a seven disc carousel type progressive scan player which does DVD-Audio. I think its an excellent player for the money and JVC is a reputable brand as well.

Denon DVM-4800 Hands down

I just got the Kenwood 5900, cost a bunch but it is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I wasn't sure from other forums if Progressive would make a difference, some said yes, some no. I have a Mitsubishi Diamond 55" and I guess the internal doubler isn't all that wonderful. Adding the kenwood with the Faroudja Chipset made a 'HUGE' difference to the picture quality. It is a little slow in getting going (like 5-10 secs to play a disk) but then its fine. It has a serial port to hook to a laptop to get the DVD names into the database, comes with a wireless keyboard. Has 3 slots for rental disks so you don't have to put them in your collection. Plays MP3's as stated above. It is huge itself I don't have the specs but it barely fit in my rack (front to back dimension) I love it. Lowest authorized price is pretty high though at about 1400 bucks. Good luck

Thanks for the help. I will pass this info on.

The JVC works fine, but is noisy when changing discs and its going to break soon, real soon.

I retract my Denon DVM 4800 hands down statement. I had problems with mine and sent it back. Come to find out there have been a lot of returns of this unit. Panasonic made Denon's DVD players until recently. Now they make there own and are having some problems. The Kenwood stuff is really cool but $1500 to get unit that plays DVD progressive and DVD Audio. I went back to single player Toshiba SD9200.

Now, I am willing to give you that the changer mechanism on the JVC is noisy (Hell, the term "agricultural" is what I use to describe the noise it makes) but so far (three months of pretty constant use) not a glitch yet. I bought a 4 year extended warranty on it just in case though (But that's my nature on any major purchases, my car's extended warranty has paid for itself for example :P)
