My real concern is that our *TV* can't handle the DVD sound quality. 
The TV most likely to be hooked up to the DVD is 13 years old and the 
picture quality on it sucks to the point where any white article of 
clothing ends up green around the edges (I don't know the technical 
term for this but it's very annoying to look at). I guess we're lucky 
our TV can handle 100+ cable channels.
