I’ve been collecting the gear for my set-up

So far

Projector

BenQ 6100 + ceiling kit


DVD player.

I bought an Onkyo DV-SP300 only to find that progressive scan only worked on NTSC. Seemed like a solid machine and turned out a nice picture. The remote was good too. Cost $229 returned.

Bought a Trio Dx 628 DVD, mainly for the VGA output to go into the BenQ
cost $249.

The remote seems to be a piece of rubbish, the player was glitching on some DVDs that my 2 year old JVC has no problems with and considering the comments here http://forums.eyo.com.au/showthread.php?t=39428&page=1 I am thinking the Trio will probably go back as well.

Any suggestions as to a DVD player that has a VGA connection that works well in up to $300?

Speakers

QS 5.1 CH. SUB SATELLITE SPEAKER PACK SAVE835ED

I was looking to spend about $5000 in total.

With what I have purchased I have about $1800 left.

Leaving $800 for wire, connectors etc, I’ve got about $1000 to play with.


AV Receiver.

I am have looked at AV receivers like.


Sony DD/DTS,120Wx5 - BLACK STRDE695B
http://www.sony.com.au/homecinema/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=22050#MID1.jsp?textview=fal se&productId=STRDE695B&categoryId=22050,LHS1.jsp?textview=false&productId=STRDE695B,MENUITEM6


Yamaha RX-540 6.1-channel receiver

http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/products/p_avit/home_theatre_av/page3_RXV540.asp

and

Onkyo TX-SR501
http://www.onkyo-intl.com/products/av_components/av_receivers/tx-sr501/index.html




Anyone got any recommendations as between or in addition to these receivers?

The area to be filled with sound is about 6m * 5m * 2.5m. and I will not be swapping between vid sources in the forseeable future so dont need a lot of vid switching capacity.
