solid but affordable dvd player?

[atari2600]

im not looking for the best dvd player out there but are there any solid dvd players for like 100 bucks or so i could pick up. right now i just want something that will last and not mess up or give me a drastic drop off in quality.

later on when i save up cash i want to get a really good one.

I have toshiba sd1600 that i bought about 1-1/2 years ago & very happy with it. it was about $100 at that time.

I have a Toshiba 2109 for several years now. If you don't plan to watch the extras on DVDs, then it's a good solid player. But this player has a lot of problem with playing DVD extras. Problems ranging from simple pixelation problem to outright freeze which requires turning off/on power to reset the player. As far as playing the movie itself, the player works very well. Only has problem with a few titles including the recently released Spellbound Criterion DVD.

well i dont want a dvd player that freezes at all. just a nice solid one that will last, play the movies (and anything else like extras) and last a few years.

sounds like toshiba is one of the better dvd brands...i guess ill take a look at those.

Check out the Panasonic RV-32.

Vanns.com has the JVC XV-S500BK for $109 in the Clearance section, including free shipping. Not only that, but it comes with a free 'Reservoir Dogs' DVD!

I just bought the XV-S600BK from them last week, and I love it! (It's the same as the 500, but it plays DVD-Audio as well. It's available for $169, and comes with 2 free DVDs!)

I swear by Panasonic players. All the 'problem' discs that other players have trouble with run flawless on my Pannys. Solid and affordable.

I had a Pannie RV-32 for a while and it was very a nice player for the money.

Always go Pioneer with DVD players if you can afford it. They get wonderful reviews, and nobody I know has ever had a problem with any of them.
