I was thinking of buying my girlfriend's family a DVD player for Christmas. I was looking for one around $200. Does anyone have a suggestion for the best one at this price? Are there any differeces between players in this price range? Thanks for the help and happy holidays.

Great gift. Try the panasonic DVD-RV30 It has a $50.00 mail in rebate.

The DVD-RV30 by Panasonic has been compared to the $1000 DVD players. People are amazed at the picture and sound quality produced by this player. It has been rated very highly at epinions.com (#2) and audioreview.com.

I own this player, and the picture is extremely crisp and clear. I highly recommend this player!

I highly recommend a low-end Toshiba unit... Especially the SD1600, or SD1200

Pioneer 333

Plays CD-R's and CD-RW's as well. Better downconversion than the Toshiba's.

I say go with the RV30, it actually has a DD decoder. I am sure the family doesn't have a bad a$$ system, therefore they could get a crappy 5.1 ready reciever and feel cool cause they actually have "surround sound." Oh yeah, and because I own a Panasonic RV20, and love it.

You are wrong, the RV-30 does not have Dolby Digital decoder. It only has a subwoofer output. By the way I also don't think that the Pioneer plays cd-rw's.

nah, the pioneer does play cd-r and cd-rw's. Also, I think ddives meant the Rv30 has a DD and DTS outputs, but there's no need for the built-in decoder, since your receiver should have one anyways.
