Panasonic DVD-S55S Digital Remastering Progressive-Scan DVD , Silver
This is one sweet dvd player
Big pluses imho:<br />  1. Bookmarks<BR>  2. WMA support (in addition to MP3, etc)<BR>  3. Amazon's price was not just competitive, it was amazing. <BR>  4. Arrived to my door in great shape<br />All the other goodies are here too: built-in decoders (sometimes it's really useful to have these built-in), zoom support, simulated surround sound (which actually works), DVD Audio/VCD/JPEG/MP3 support, speaker delay setting, progressive scan, etc.<br />I personally found the on-screen display/setup to be easy to use & quite sophisticated for this level of price.  Also, according to reviews elsewhere, this model is one of the absolute latest panasonics out there, with the latest/greatest firmware, etc. - in other words, people often thought that dvds look better played on this model, relative to other players in the same or slightly higher price range.  Mine was built in June 2003. <br />For what it's worth, decide whether you need built-in decoders or not, if you want to save money.  I personally wasn't willing to live without them or bookmarks, and amazon's price for them (and all of the above) was still amazing.<br />This thing hooked right up & worked flawlessly straight out of the box.
