Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
excellent value, great quality
After doing quite a lot of research, this seemed to me like the best DVD player I could get for [the price] that would still give me a decent amount of features and excellent quality picture/sound.<br />This final aspect was the most important to me: I'm yet to use this machine for MP3 or CD-R playback yet, and I don't have a surround sound or Dolby set up - but the quality of this machine is still great - most DVD pictures look immaculate, and the sound is impressive too. I've had zero problems or errors with this machine at all - it's been very reliable.<br />It's fairly easy to set-up and use (I'd recommend using S-Video connection if you can), and my only quibbles are:<br /><br />(a) not having a screensaver,<br />(b) the onscreen icons are too small and don't mean much til you get familiar with the machine a little more<br />(c) my horribly addictive DVD-buying habit :)
