Hi all

Im thinking of possibly buying a G9X series DVD player, mainly because the HDMI output would be useful and i think my 598 DVD player is ill.

At present, I have a Component version of the 598 DVD player but when I connect to my new 4K TV through a separate Component to HDMI box, the display is rubbish. (My old 4k TV had separate component inputs at the back of the TV which worked fine). I upgraded the TV recently that does not have the component inputs, so am using a Component to HDMI converter box. Im using good quality Component and HDMI leads. The Converter box may be the issue, as it was £30 or so off Amazon. I was thinking perhaps a better quality Component to HDMI converter box may be the answer...however, yesterday my 598 started emitting a horrible burning smell, so seems to be ill.

So looks like a repair to the 598 is required and a better Convertor box....OR perhaps a G9X DVD player may be the way to go but Im not sure really which one to go for. I have atm, a 502 tuner and 561M processor feeding 24/96 DSP5000s, and believe a G9X could replace the 502, 561M and the 598. Any advice would be good (i.e. some versions may be harder to fix if anything goes wrong etc, price versus quality etc).

And of course, What would I be expected to pay?
