What set up were you using before? The AV8003 is taking a while to learn. I'm not sure how many hours the unit might need for breaking in. the frequency response and sound is pretty good but thus far it does not image or envelop my listening room the way my former processor did.

There is supposed to be a new Samsung model out that will retail around $700.00 that I would recommend. It will have all the latest encoding as well as going back to using the Silicon Optix chip for standard DVD upsampling as the BD-P1200 did which got rave reviews for it's DVD playback, and, of course, no fault with the BR playback. To my knowledge this will be the only player under $2k to offer decent standard DVD playback if that's of any importance to you. You could go for the total package and add the BD-8002, what's another $2k It, and Denon's top of the line players, are using the Realto chip set.
