Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player
Incredible player!
First, the picture is amazing. It is hard to believe that this thing is so  good for the money. IT PLAYS CD-R's! It has optical and digital outputs,  and it is quiet as hell. I first played some DVD's that I have had problems  with on other players, and this thing played them flawlessly. I cant  reccomend this player enough! It is just awesome.
