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?

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.

I am have looked at AV receivers like.

and
Onkyo TX-SR501

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.
