Apex AD2600 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Best I ever owned...
I am almost a year down the road with this machine and it is the most reliable that I have used yet.  I have owned two Norcent 300 series players, a Lite-On 2002, and an older Sony and this one performs better and more consistently than any of them and has never failed to play any DVD or VCD that is playable on any other machine.  I am not sure it is available any more, but if you can find one, grab it!  The only problem that is kind of a nuisance is that it decides on its own when to close the drawer.  Sometimes you have to be fast to grab or insert the disk.
