thanks for the help, I dont have the most cash right now, so I picked this one: http://www.dc-dvd.net/index.php?action=details&item=%7EPioneer%20DV-350S%20%28silver%29%20DVD-Video%20Player
check it out, I am kinda unsure about this whole situation, and I would like to know if there is anything wrong with it in comparison to what I am looking for.

well, I might by some bells and whistles along the way but for now I just need the basics, later I might want to get some sarround sound going in my room, but for now all I need is my anime my tv and a dvd player. :mrgreen:

Well, most DVD players come with an optical out so you can plug it in to your receiver for DTS sound.

Be careful with some of the regionless players you get off the net. Most of them are just regular R1 players that have been modified. The seller actually has to open up the machine and replace a chip or two. They'll be fine if the seller knows what they're doing. Apex are really cheap and models like 1500 only require some software flash to be R0...no opening or soddering involved. You should check out www.vcdhelp.com for some of the flashable type players. They're all pretty cheap.

yeah I was e-mailing with him and he said that he had a team doing it, it looks like the site has had quite a bit of success so I will trust them, but I havnt boughten the player yet so I will check out the site you gave me. :mrgreen:
