Oritron DVD600 DVD Player
Good value for the money
despite the negative reviews i have read from ... customers, i decided to give the product a shot.  it seems an excellent value for the money.  i've had no lock-up or fading problems that seem to plaque other customers. and the sound is surprisingly good.  (actually, my wharfedale speakers sound better when i use the oritron than when i use them with my rotel cd player.)
