How are Kenwood progressive-scan players/ Faroudja processing?
I just preordered the new Kenwood DVD-Audio player (DV-5900M)from crazyeddie.com. I emailed Kenwood and finally heard back today. This player does correct the small speaker/ subwoofer problem that dvd-audio players have. They told me they didn't have a verified release date yet, but crazyeddie said it should be in about 2 weeks. I can't wait. Does anyone know how the Kenwood progressive-scan players are? They say they have a special Faroudja processing. Are they good progressive-scan? I have the Toshiba SD-5109 progressive right now and it looks pretty good on my 65" HDTV, but I don't know if the Toshiba is truly progressive? I saw something about there are 2 types of progressive- maybe something to do with pulldown or something? Is my Toshiba one of the better progressive-scan players, or will the Kenwood be better (true progressive)? The differrence between my old Sony & the progressive Toshiba were huge on my HDTV, and I'm hoping the new Kenwood will be even better. Plus it holds 400 + 3 dvds. I have 759 dvds right now, so it'll be pretty wild to have that many of my movies all ready to go.
