One should remember that...
these test results are based on their specific tests and apply ONLY to the video results. This does not mean that their top rated DVD players will provide the same ranking in terms of audio reproduction.
Regarding the Daewoo player
The $69 may be ther MSRP, but the Target store in my town has them for $44.
Wow a DVD player that can be dedicated as an audio player? So what if the specs listed do not reflect audio quality, Dirt cheap = Low risk
