All Sony players are good. I'm not familiar with the current models. Sonys have historically had trouble with CD-R, but they are probably compatible now.

Steve,
I agree with those who decry Toshibas poor downconversion. My first DVD player was one of the first for sale, a Toshaba 2006. The downconversion has not improved. At first I didn't notice a problem but once I started seeing the downconversion artifacts it was like watching movies...
