    If there are L, R audio output RCA sockets, then that is all you need. The display will tell you the track number and the time elapsed, but may not display the title of the track being played.

    The 565A does show the tracks on the display.

    Are your SACDs not hybrids then? All of mine are.

    Thanks chaps. (Some are hybrids, some not, I think. That said, the Marantz isn't happy with them at all!)

    So, there’s a little used full width but very light Panasonic DMP-BD77 with remote and LAN connection. BD Live, DIVX HD, DOLBY TrueHD, Dts-HD. NB no digital out but you can buy an HDMI sound splitter for a tenner if that’s an issue. There are analogue stereo RCA sockets, though. Comes with remote.

    Alternatively there’s a small 1/3ish width Sony BDP-S1700 BluRay player. It’s Italian market but I think it has its menus in English. Dts, DOLBY TrueHD, gracenote. It has a digital out (RCA) and a LAN connection. Again, I have the remote. It also has the paperwork. What I need to find is the 12v power supply which I seem to have misplaced. I have used this unit to feed my Meridian DSP speakers and it sounded quite ok as a transport.

    Happy to supply either for the cost of the postage, which wouldn’t be much.

    I’m away until after this weekend but should be able to send something over next week if you’re interested.

    Thanks to Peter I now have a DVD/Blu ray player. I have connected it via LAN cable to one of the ethernet ports on my router, but cannot see it on the TV. Must I also connect the router to the TV to get the ethernet connection? I though it would pick it up wirelessly as I connected the DVD to the router.
