Hey guys...I desperately need some help picking out a good DVD player to go with my Onkyo HT-S650. I've tried reading reviews, etc. but I don't even know what features I should be looking for. I don't have an HDTV, but I guess I would go ahead and get a progressive scan player so it's compatible if I upgrade.
One of the major questions I have is this: does the DVD player need to have a Dolby decoder built-in or is that unnecessary because the receiver decodes it?
I'm looking for something rather cheap--around $100 or less. Any particular players you would suggest with this setup? By the way, the TV is a 35-inch Toshiba (flat-screen, not flat-panel...35AF44).

Answer: No it doesn't need to have the Dolby Decoder built in and it is uncecessary because the receiver will decode it.
You can't go wrong matching an Onkyo DVD player with your Onkyo Receiver.
