Panasonic DVD-A120 DVD Player
The panasonic pick switch
Ok, let's be serious here.  Any player you buy is going to havean amazing picture.  Likewise, the sound on any machine will make VHSseem pathetic.  So what you want is ease of control, and reliablity. This is an OK machine, but after trying both, I settled on the Panasonic DVD-A320 over this on for a few reasons.  First, the 6 channel discrete output for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS that you can't get on this model.  Unless your tuner has a decoder, this feature is worth the extra coin.  On the 320, you can adjust the dB level of every individual speaker output.  &lt;NICE&gt; The remote is very intuitive making control an breeze compared to the confusing Hitachi and RCA button butchers.  I've experienced absolutly no pixilation or skipping as others have on this model.  My only complaint is that they couldn't be bothered to throw in a lousy s-video cable with the package like they used to.  A small loss on a great machine.  Pay the extra and buy the A320 model.
