Only onfo I can find on old dvd player specs is: power consumption(dvd unit) = 116 W. If I hook those old speakers up to the new 600W player will is affect the sound quality?
Answer
The wattage is important when you are considering volume. If you turn up a 600 Watt DVD player to a very high volume on 116 Watt speakers you will blow the speakers.
Sound quality, on the other hand, is not related to wattage. While it is normally true that high wattage speakers tend to be higher quality, that is not always true. Great speakers may not always be high wattage speakers.
On another note, 600 Watt DVD players normally put out multiple channels. That is to say that each speaker will receive a separate signal from the DVD player. So most likely your 600 Watts are put out at 100 Watts per channel for six channels. That would cover two rear speakers, two front speakers, a center channel and a sub-woofer. That is the standard surround sound stereo system.
The answer to your question is that there is no reason that you cannot use the old speakers with the new DVD player. If you liked the quality of the sound with the old DVD player and speakers, you will most likely like the new DVD player and old speakers just as much if not more.
Take care,
Troy

Can anyone reccommend a cheap dvd player that gives a good clean sound?
Q. I currently have 2 cheap dvd players - a Yamada GDVD301RP player (£39 from Amazon) and a Goodmans DVD 5501 writer (£65 from Tesco). I want to pipe the sound through a high-end amplifier (Arcam). Unfortunately, the Yamada sound quality is muffled, flat, and lacking any kind of real quality or depth. The Goodmans on the other hand gives a reasonable sound with good tonal qualities - unfortunately, it does not have any form of volume control which I need.
Can anyone reccomend a cheap DVD player (with volume control) that gives a very good quality sound (from Mp3 disks)?

Answer
There's really maybe only one or two (especially if cheap) at best DVD players out there with a volume control unless you get one with a volume control on the headphone output and connect the amp to that output (via Y-stereo adapter). Sound quality will suffer somewhat however.
My recommendation to you is to either use the (if your TV has a variable audio output) TV for volume control, or better yet, get a A/V preamplifier. Unless you can find one on auction, you're going to have to spend more to achieve the results you want. I mean, you have an Arcam amplifier, so why not at least invest in a moderately priced DVD player. I recommend one of the (virtually) universal OPPO models.
