Today my DVD player went on the fritz and because it is no longer under warranty, it is time to buy a new one. Ok, I have a few questions here. My receiver is a 5.1/DTS surround sound unit with both 5.1 and coaxial and digital inputs. In looking at all the new DVD players, they only have coaxial and digital outputs, no 5.1. Am I going to loose the 5.1 sound? Also, I am looking at the Philips DVD782CH. If anyone has this or knows anything about it, that would be helpful. Thank you all for you help.

I'm not a big Philips fan. I would look to Panasonic or Pioneer for a great low end DVD player. Panasonic CV51 if you are looking for a five-discer.

I'm never owned a Philips DVD player. My experience with their other electronics has been average at best. I just believe that you can get a better player for the same amount of money from a different company.
