DVD Player DIED!! Need advice on a new one!!

Hello, my sony ns700p died today. I would like to find a cheaper (150or under) player at best buy, circuit city, or one of those stores. Can anyone tell me some players that they would recommend.

Btw My tv is a sony KV-27FS200 so its not High Def..thought that would be helpful. Thanks for the advise.

IMHO, under $150 for a non-hdtv you could probably choose anything from Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, JVC etc and do fine.

get the panasonic dvds-35K. its very nice. its selling most places for under $100 right now. its progressive scan, but its interlaced video is quite impressive.

spend the extra $50 on nice cables, and an extended warranty, to make sure it lasts!

If you're happy with Sony, the 715P player is around $150. These and the toshiba models are usually recommended right behind the Pannys. I picked one up a few weeks back from BB on sale and with 10% coupon for ~120.

Panasonic is usually recommended for better pic quality and the 35K is a great deal for a prog scan player. They don't have coax dig audio so be prepared to buy another cable if you're not already using optical dig audio.

Go here and click on "All DVD Players". The Sony 715P and the Panny RV32K are listed. The RV32K is listed as NOT being prog scan as I mentioned earlier.

Compusa is having a good deal on the Panasonic dvd-cv52 5 disc changer for $80 after rebate. It's a non-progscan and it works well, for me. It's the ability to play WMA format that I really like about it. Good luck on your search.
