Sorry to jump in, have finally ordered Pioneer 428, looking at the Marantz 7001, but also going to upgrade games console soon. Am I right in saying the Marantz would knock spots off the PS3 for DVD playback (not including HD playback, obviously), I know the PS3 is rated highly as a high-def player, but more interested in up-scale quality for my existing DVD collection. Thanks

I most disagree with people who say ps3's dvd playback is good,it's only good for a 32inc tv any bigger 40-46? very poor.
If you most, buy a Samsung which was reviewed in what hi-fi £70,Tosh hd ep35 £270 7 free hddvd's from Amazon UK,the dvd playback is more or less the same as the Denon 1940 according to what hi-fi team or Tosh's hdxe1 £450 same offer at Amazon UK and again dvd playback as good as the Deon 2930 £500,Maranzt 7001 and if you want the best for dvd then Denon 3930.
