Since I got my Technics DVD-A10 I've become a big fan of Panasonic DVD players. I don't think you can go wrong with the Panasonic badge. My Sony DVD player screws up once in a while.

Problem w/ using that link (for the Secrets Shootout) is that nearly all the players reviewed are either no longer available OR simply not available at CC/Best Buy OR well over the $200 limit you have.
Having said all that, it seems you can expect more or less the same performance from current JVC players as the ones reviewed in the earlier Shootouts. But the new Panny players are quite different from the ones in that link. Still, you may find them good enough, especially for <$200 -- and you don't have an HDTV right now. Actually, since you can't use progressive output, the JVC's are not good candidates until someone verifies that they've fixed the quirks in their interlaced output in recent models.

yeah i see that most of them have a MSRP of 229 roughly. thats not to bad if i go a little over.
there is alot of hifi shops around i might beable to find them panys at.
i basically just want one that works good and doesnt screw up alot. i know my dads kenwood 5 disc screws up once in a great while it just wont read a disc sometimes. same with my HK.
so i want one thatll work all the time.
guess ill go check out the hifi shops and might just hold on buying one till later in the week.

If you can go as high as $250, I would recommend the Sony 755 DVD/SACD player. I have this one and it is a nice entry-level machine if you are interested in SACD.

My brother has the Dream 770 system, we watched some of "Beauty and the Beast" over the weekend. I've never seen a more apparent chroma bug problem than Gaston's red shirt during the opening song.
