To repair or to replace, that is my question
I bought a used Sony DVP-S7000 dvd player on Ebay, looking of a cheap source DVDP-CDP combo. Unfortunatly, the DVD player that was supposed to be in "good working condition", does not play movies very well. The audio is very good, so I can use it to play CDs, but when I play DVDs, even though the image is clear, I see blinking blue-red flashes across the screen.
If I get the DVP-S7000 repaired, the problem most likely comes from the mecanism, and it should cost me at least US $150...
On the other hand, I could keep the DVP-S7000 as my main source for listening to CDs, and buy a cheap DVD player for playing movies..
I hear the Denon makes some good cheap DVD player...so what do you think about my dilemma?
Could I get for US $150 a good DVD player with "Okay" audio just to play movies, and keep the Sony DVP as my CD source, or should I get the DVP-s7000 repaired?
