Page 1 of Assistance required. & takeback your Alba 109

Assistance - I brought 6 months ago (in my enthusiasm to embrace the world of DVD) an Alba 109 (yes, yes I know how stupid I am now!), but with some gentle persusion, I returned it last night to Toys R Us.

I now need advice on repurchase of another DVD player; which one?

I have got about £230, but would like to update my system (I have an old Pro-Logic Sherwood amp). If I got a player with an onboard Dolby Digital decoder, would I need a new amp?

I have read intensively, reviews & posts re the AIWA 370 but understand this model does not have one. If the answer to the above question is `yes` then I would like to buy the AIWA, & upgrade the amp at a later stage. So......................

Does anybody know the answer to my question, and the whereabouts of the `holy grail` (aka AIWA 370)?

Thanking anyone in advance.

If

if your sherwood has 5 or 6 channel inputs then as long as your DVD also has those outputs you`ll be OK - if you buy a dvd which only has digital outs then you`ll need to buy a new amp with a dd5.1 and dts decoder
