I've owned the CP-802 since last july and I like it alot. When I purchased mined there were not a lot of universal players that had some sort of bass management for high resolution audio that were less than 700.00 bucks but this was one of them. The DVD-A bass management is somewhat flexible but the SACD one is set at a certain frequency(I forget which one it is). Also the interlaced picture is very, very good. I dont have a high definition tv so I can't use the progressive features on it therefore I can't comment on that part. Other than that it's a solid performer in my opnion.
Today you can probably get the Marantz DV-6500 for a reasonable price that performs much better than either of these units.
