The Vizio seems to somewhat "clean up" the picture from the (15 yr.) old standard DVD player.
I wanted my DVD player seperate from the sound system so that I can upgrade to a High Def player later on.
I bought a Sony HT-DDW790 from circuit city for $150 (on sale using the internet price), regular price is $200. The receiver box is too big in my opinion, and the surround speakers are wired. However, for the money, The sound is impressive. the unit comes with everything except an inexpensive RCA cable. And set-up is easy.
The sound is driven from the TV. So that later on, I can easily add any type of DVD player, i.e. a HD or Blu-Ray DVD player.
This cost was $1250 for the TV, $150 for the sound system, $7 for the cable... $1407 total.]]>Oct 7th 2007 12:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/Oct 7th 2007 8:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/Oct 7th 2007 9:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/
The "dvd upgrade" reader is "spot-on" with benefit of having separates to upgrade w/technology. Myself? I have multi systems for different rooms (separate components for family room and Master bedroom and a box systems for two smaller bedrooms).

It's all par for the course in a never ending search for the that first "audio" high! :o)]]>Oct 8th 2007 8:36AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/06/just-tell-me-what-to-get-home-theater/Mar 29th 2008 1:41PM
