How old is YOUR DVD player?
 

How old is your primary DVD player...the one you use to watch most of your movies? I think I might have the oldest one here. I have...and still use...an old Toshiba SD-2108 I bought way back in December 1998.

I just bought a multi region SD 6980 but I think I might be having power supply problems with it. It turned on okay, I started to make some settings changes to use widescreen, etc. and just as I popped the disc tray to load a disc to test the player, the player died and it won't turn on at all now.

I have a Sony that is about 5 years old and a Denon 2900 that is my player for my theater that is 3 years old.

Panasonic RV80 - about five or six years old - works just as well today as when I first bought it. Bought it for $299 (from an overnight price drop from $399) from Overstock when they had their sweet free overnight shipping. Beautiful component picture.

My current player I just bought last week, the one I used before that I had for a couple years.

I was using a Panasonic RP-82 since September 2002, but 2 days ago I got the Oppo Digital OPDV971H which is now region free thanks to a code I entered with the remote.

I have a Sanyo that I bought back in December. I've also got the first player I bought back in October 2002 but that's mainly a backup now.

I use a modded Xbox as my primary player. I got it in 2002. I have a Pioneer that I use for DVD-A and SACD. I got that in 2004.

I still have my Sony S300 from 1998 and it still works. Its in my son's room now. My current player is the Denon 2910 and its only a month or so old.

My Malata is about 4 years old, I believe. It's not like me to let something like this last this long without replacing it but with the whole BR/HD-DVD thing, I don't want to jump on another. I already have a dvd-recorder as well and I don't want to have 3 different DVD machines at this point...but I have a feeling I might have to.

My hd950 i got a few months ago. Replaced my sd-4900 that i had for a few years.

Mine is several years old...looking to upgrade. Trying to decide on a nice DVDp, upconverting, wait and see what the new Playstation 3 looks like or what...hummm...

I have my Philips 727 still which is about 4 years old, my LIO dvd recorder that is 1.5 years old and my Oppo which I got in November. My in-laws have my original dvd player I got in '99, which still works (and the service agreement I got with it is still active) plus my Sony I got a year later to replace that one.

Just bought a Denon 2910 in December to replace my four-year old Sony NS900V.

Denon 2900, 3 years old, region free. I had a Malata but its power supply blew up. Literally. Won't replace the 2900 until something is made with superior audio & video, under $1000.

I had a Panasonic RP-82 for the longest time, it died...so I bought a Pioneer recently (6 months ago if that) and it seems to be doing the trick.

I have a Panny S80 I believe. Got it about 18 months ago after my JVC 3 tray died.

Tosh SD-2200..holds 2 discs!

I have a JVC rx-dv3, bought it refurbished about 4 years ago. Love the Player, but now I want one that connects using the DVI cable. I can't wait to see my HDTV with a signal with signal from my DVD player with a DVI connection.

The rx-dv3 gives a great signal with the Component cables, but the video quality is going to improve with the DVI cable.

I'm not sure if that's necessarily true if you have progressive component signals

I've had my Philips 727 for about 2 years now.

My primary player is about a year and a half old...that replaced my old RCA which was bought the fall of 99...and that one replaced a defective Samsung 709...ah...memories...

Mine's a Pioneer DVL-909 DVD/Laserdisc player, made in Feb 1998, in service since August of that year. Modded for region select and no Muckrovision, and very rarely has problems. It can even play recorded dual-layer discs, which some newer players can't play. At this point it's gotta hold out until the HD formats get their act together, then it'll probably get used just for LDs after that.

I have a Sony DVP-CX995V which I bought late last year. Love it, though it is HUGE and takes a long time going between discs.

I have a Sammy HD850 that's about 6/7 months old and a Philips 642 for my all region needs that is about 1 1/2 yrs old. Beyond those I have a cheapo APEX I use in the bedroom that is easily 5yrs old.

I had to finally retire my original "Early Adopter" DVD player. My $700 Panasonic 5 Disc DVD/CD player with surround sound speakers, tape deck and radio that I picked up in early '98. That sucker died quick but lasted just long enough for me to get an Xbox for my DVD needs at the time.

My Sony DVP-NC85H is only about 3 weeks old but I still use my Toshiba SD-3109(bought in Dec of '99) in my bedroom.
