Hi .I am not getting the time to go. I will try to go today to Ezone in South City Mall, its the newest ezone to open up but as per what I ahve read and researched I may go in for the Samsung 1080-pk . I am even considering the Phllips 5996 as I read a number of good reviews about the same.

Its huge and vast , go through it whenever you get time ...

Waiting for an update once you are able to test ...

I am myself looking to upgrde from my Samsug Hd 860 .

The 3 options i am looking at are samsung 1080pk, phillips 5996 & pioneer dv 610,

In Bangalore i am unable to audition the samsung and the Sony, for pioneer still have to look around

Wow very informative thread dushie, thx a lot . Wonder is there any similar thread like this for the 1080-pk. have rules out pioneer as it is beyond budget.

nope, have not been able to find any posts or reviews for samsung 1080pk,

but with all the posts for philips 5996 and pioneer dv610,

both seem to be a good option,

Correct but for that you dont need to buy the product of the same brand. For Ex :-

I have a Samsung 26inch LCD coupled with a Sony AV Reciever and a Phillips DVD player ( Now Replaced with Sony DVD Player) . I fed in the remote codes for both the LCD and the DVD player in the Universal Remote supplied by the Sony AV reciver and they worked flawlessly !! . This way you get the best of each brand without being bogged down by too many remotes. There is always the option of buying Universal Remotes such as those offered by Logitech...

COOL !

Infact some of the advanced Remote Controls, can even be programmed for a Sequence of Events / commands, in response to the touch of a single button , eg :
1. Switch On TV, then
2. Power On The DVD Player then..
3. Power On The HT Receiver then...
4. Play The DVD.

Wow if that is possible then that sounds really great ( and also really lazy) .But just out of curiosity which remote has that capability, any model number ?

multiple command programming is called a macro on the remote control. so in case you guys have encountered them on your remotes, that's what it's for.. most AVR's above 60k including NAD, Arcam, Yamaha, Marantz, Denon all support macros.

Hi Manju, I did a demo yesterday of both the LG and the Samsung dvd players. First Impressions : LG is definitely better . I will put in a detailed review once I get back home(If my broadband is working). However I simply dont trust LG dvd players but the price of Rs 3.6k is not bad and I am now thinking otherwise. If this player last me 3 years I will be more than happy. I have ruled out Samsung . I intend to Demo phillips before i make a final decision. Is there nay exisiting user of LG dvd player particularly DN-192 ?

Wow seems like the MS Excel macros that we use :-). Thx for the info !

i think many of the popular universal remote models will support macros.....the ones in the logitech harmony series are supposed to be very good, although they require a bit of tweaking to get the best out of them.....
