DVD recorder/player?

[Number9]

Hello all, Is it possible to buy a good or even great DVD recorder/player for around $1k? What features should I look for? Should it have HD capabilities because I'm going to buy an HD TV someday? I don't know anything about them (I'm still using a VCR). Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Michael

Rotel has new one out RDV 1050 Progressive scan DVD / DVD-A player that retails for about $700 USD. I've heard good things about Rotel's audio products. I honestly haven't heard much about their video products though. Maybe others have. There's also a RDV-1060 that retails for $900.
