Tosh 57H93 and Pioneer DV-563A good combo?
I just purchased both of these from BB this weekend and wasnt to sure about the DVD player. I was tempted to pick up the SOny 5Disk Prog Scan changer, or teh single $129 Sony Prog scan player, but went with the Pio 563A. I would love any feedback you can give me with this combo but speciifically the DVD player. Is this a good match? Will be running Monster Component, and I have a Sony 5.1 DD/DTS reciever with some decent Polk speakers. I am not to big into the DVD-Audio or SACD (have never had one before and dont know how much I would use it if at all for now). Please advise me my fellow comrades 
Thanks
Thanks

I think the Pioneer player will be great with any tv.
I have the 563A and love it. The pic and sound are great. But, I do love the dvd-a and sacd playback! Do yourself a favor and pick up one each of the two formats, hook up the 6 analog cables (if you have the inputs on your receiver) and enjoy the 5.1 surround Hi Res music. The sacd I have is Dark Side of the Moon. If you already like the album, you will be amazed with the sacd.........
The Pioneer DV 563A is the best purchase I've made in years! Enjoy.....

I am also now worried about the 480P DVDs being upconverted to 540P and 720P being upconverted to 1080i? Does this cause problems? I have read that some are not happy cause it has some picture detoriation.

Optical/Digital Coaxial cables will work fine for DD/dts movies and music, but will not work for the HiRes music. You should still be happy with it...........
I don't have HDtv, so I can't comment on the 1080i stuff..........

if I dont have the 5.1 Inputs, does just using the Fiber Optic/Dig Coax work as well?
"SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. Some DVD-Audio discs too only output audio through the analog outputs."
