Yesterday I received my region-free DVD player from Japan. (I can now play DVDs created anywhere in the world.) The problem is, with the combination of the age of my receiver and the number of pieces of equipment now connected to it I’m running out of outlets. (In order to watch either my VCR or the new DVD player (I’m keeping the five-disc player hooked up since it also plays CDs) I have to turn on the DVD-R too, since it’s what’s accepting the input from the VCR and the new DVD player.) I think I’ve found a solution however. The Denon AVR-5805 (shown right) seems to have enough inputs to keep me covered for a while. The $6000 price tag is the only problem.

How do you cope with PAL / NTSC transition? Just curious
It just does it. I’ve already verified this with several PAL DVDs. The player can be found @ http://www.jlist.com/DVDPLAYER/. It’s the Lasonic DVD-7880K DVD Player (region free).
