Good DVD player?

[Novgrod]

Panasonic DVD player today went nuts; i was curious to see if anyone had a recommendation for a DVD player that won't cack in twelve months for circa $200--

would appreciate any help.

Which Panasonic model do you have?

I would read wje's excellent posts in this helpful thread.

Also check out Toshiba, Sony & JVC. They all offer great DVD Players for $170 or less.

Player is an RV21; seems it's outdated. I'd get another panasonic but i'm anal about not supporting companies that--for whatever reason not-my-fault--have taken the Big Ride not long after purchase.

Thanks much for the help.

If you have a CostCo near you, they have an excellent Toshiba DVD Player for $89.

I've also seen the Toshiba SD1800 for $99 @ Best Buy B&M.

My first DVD Player was a Toshiba 3 years ago, it was a great player but I prefer Panasonic over Toshiba.

I like the JVC XV-S300BK / XV-S302SL cuz it plays EVERYTHING(DVD, DVD-R/RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3, etc) and comes in black or silver.
Plus!, it's only like $100 at Best Buy.

Bought my parents one and if I didn't already have my 3 year old Pioneer, I would have one myself.

Actually funny you should mention it; i tried using my ps2, but it's on the fritz too--though both are plugged into a super-surge-protecting-apc-battery-backup.

Truth be told the ps2 was never really doing it for me for movies during the best of times.

Thanks very much for the help everyone.

My parents just got one of these for the family and even though my experience with it is only a days worth I must say that it is a fantastic player. Easy to use and has a ton of features.

Unfortunately, the Denon DVD player is a little above the $200 price ceiling that this individual is looking for.

i auditioned several a few years back and settled on the Pioneer. I find it to have superior image quality, at least from what i was comparing back then.
