Toshiba SD1700 DVD Player
BEST Midrange DVD Player
I purchased one of these DVD players 18 months ago, and recently bought a second one for use at another location.  It is the undisputed best of the bunch when it comes to midrange DVD players.  Picture quality is outstanding, and it performs on par with units that cost over $100 more.  If you are looking for an economical DVD player - this is the one to have.
