$300 budget, panasonic 42 plasma. Please advise. I like my marantz DV4600 but cant really seem to find them available online. Wound up buying the Polk RM 6800, Onkyo TX-SR603, now just need a DVD player for about $300.00 or less.

For less ... but excellent at the price point and some distance beyond ...

Oppo makes great players, especially at the price and the 971 is their best in terms of video. But for you I would recommend the 970 instead. The 971, like all faroujda based units, is prone to macroblocking with certain sets. The panny plasmas are one of those that seems to be particularly succeptible to it although some report no problems.
With the 970, you will not have any worries about macroblocking and with a 42" tv you will not notice the slight drop off in picture quality from the 971 to the 970.
You also get sacd playback with the 970 and save 50 clams..."The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage." Thucydides
