And on DVD's, for that matter? I'm new and you guys have probably seen this question a thousand times but I'd appreciate the help.

What brands should I avoid outright? Should I wait for recordable DVD?

I would delete this and post it in the audio video section where it belongs.

Pioneer and Sony are the best. Don't bother waiting for recordable dvd, you'll die of boredom.

I'd definitely look for one that can play CD-R, as well as MP3 and VCD.

Oh, and "in before the lock"

One that will pass a DTS stream. You don't need an "on board" DD/DTS decoder, get a reciever for that. Another vote here for Sony.
