Panasonic DVD-A120 DVD Player
An excellent choice backed by a brand name you can trust.
I purchased this DVD player in August of 1999, and have used it many times since then without any problems.  The sound and audio quality are immaculate, and the features (such as component video output) that  accompany this player are incredible for the bargain price.  An interesting  note:  Not only can this player decode the amazing DTS 5.1 digital  soundtracks (available on selected DVDs), but it can also decode DTS CDs  (such as Sting's &quot;Brand New Day&quot; which was recently released with  DTS 5.1 format).  The quality of sound that the DTS CD produces is unlike  any other that I have ever experienced before!  One is completely enveloped  in clean and defining sound, perfectly complemented by the proper amount of  Bass.  Bottom line:  This player is an excellent choice for purchase and is  backed by a brand name you can trust.
