Well, it could be a while. I'm about to return my 3rd player.
I just got the Yamaha mentioned above and while it is an OK player, the upconversion blows compared to the HD-A1 (not that I've ever been really blown away by upconversion) and the are two major issues.
1. The image via the DVI/HDMI is stretched, thus enlarging the black bars.
2. With component, the image is zoomed and I'm losing about 5% on the left and right.
So, yeah, not keeping the Yamaha.
The only option left under $200 is the Helios. I sent them a long email with a list of these problems. I basically told them that if their player had any of these problems, they'd be getting it back, so tell me now.
Dizzlle, if you don't have projector the Oppo 971 would probably work for you.
