Sony SLV-D300P Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo
FREEZES on almost every DVD I play!
I got this unit to replace both my old DVD player and old VCR.  Went with the Sony because it touted being compatible with all the DVD-RW/+RW formats (which is the only good thing about it).  From day one, I had problems with it freezing about halfway through each DVD I watched.  I think it's probably at the layer switch as it is constantly around the hour mark.  In any event, to fix it, you must hit STOP then PLAY on the remote.  It plays the rest of the movie fine after that.  It also does many other annoying things that it shouldn't do, but there's to much to list here.  It's like a college student's senior design gone wrong.  I'm going to try and send it back for warranty work, but from what I've been seeing, I'm not going to hold my breath.  Terrible Sony.... terrible.
