They look similar from the outside, but the 7000 looks a lot more crowded inside! Maybe they consolidated more of the components in the S7700? No copper on the S7000? I Liked my 7700 and should have kept it, but I have a bad disease called Sellitities Panicis...

I've got a line on a 'S7700 that seems to be in good condition that I should be able to get next week. I'll finally get to do a head-to-head comparison with a 'S7000 and the 'S7700.

The top of the case can use a little clean up, otherwise she's a beaute just like it's older sibling.

I bought the 7700 when it came out ($999 - Ouch!). Why 7700 over 7000? The DVP-S7000 could not read DTS encoded DVDs. I believe that the DVP-S7700 was Sony's first DTS enabled unit.

If there is a simple DIY fix for a "stuck" front panel on my DVP-S7000, I'd like to hear about it. I plays great but just looks a little sad in appearance when it's off. As I've mentioned elsewhere, examining the innards makes me nervous and I don't have any special tools with which to attempt a repair. I'm not sure that I'd even trust a local authorized SONY repairman due to its age.

Advantages to the DVP-S7000.
1. Can pass blacker than black.
2. Does not have the chroma upsampling bug.
3. Servicing the disc drive is easier due to better accessibility.
Advantages to the DVP-S7700
1. Supports DTS DVDs.
2. Built on a copper chassis.
Advantages to both over lesser DVD players:

4. Excellent analog outputs.
5. Very responsive on DVD menus and to playback controls.
6. Supports MPEG Video CD.
