^ I've got a great Sony DVD Player+ Burner I bought at Best Buy last year as an open box buy.... no manual. We watched a few movies on it, then my son (2 yrs old) got hold of the remote and did something to it. It still works and plays, but for some reason, the remote doesn't work (yes, I've put in new batteries!!!)

My mom bought us another one for Christmas, so the other one is just sitting here next to me at the computer. I ain't making any promises that it will work fine, but you can have it if you want!!!

Looks like Tim hooked you up, but if not, I have a Samsung upconverting dvd player w/remote if you're interested. It works great, w/component or DVI connections (I think I might even have a component cable if you need one). I only stopped using it because now I use my PS3 for movie playback as well.

I wouldn't want anything for it unless you get it to work fine. Not fair to send you something that may or may not work in return for some cigars. Won't hurt my feelings if you turn me down!!!! Might try it on fleabay LOL

So Blue...did you need me to send a cable with the player? if you have one already, cool. But if you need one, let me know!

I should be able to send this tomorrow, and it's coming from Dayton, OH so you should get it in a couple days!

^sure thing. Which cable do you need? I have a component video cable and a DVI cable. DVI is the better choice for upconverting to a digital tv, but if your tv doesn't have a DVI input, then obviously you don't want that.

lol, NP. Maybe when you get home tonight, check your tv's connections and see if you have a DVI jack. If not, component is still good (you wouldn't notice the difference anyway unless you're screen is approaching the 50-inch mark). Either way, your dvds will look a little sharper with an upconverting player such as this than with a standard dvd player.

I think cables are the biggest ripoffs in the electronics industry. They charge you over $100 for a good dvd player...then another $60 for a frickin' cable! Of course the player doesn't come with one, so you're screwed, lol.

^btw, the DVI jack is a slot about 1.25 inches long with 2 rows of little holes. It's not the same as HDMI, which is much smaller.

Also, with either cable you'll still need an audio cable (either RCA--the standard white and red ones) or a digital optical (best) or a coaxial. It depends on whether you're sending the audio straight to your tv or if you use a stereo receiver to listen to the audio.

If you have any questions, just email me--I'm pretty savvy when it comes to home theater stuff.
