Sony DVP-NS55P/S Single Disc DVD Player, Silver
It Plays Everything Flawlessly Wthout Hanging or Skipping
I use Netflix, so the DVDs I watch are frequently scratched.  My old DVD player would frequently skip or stop being able to read the DVDs.  I tried cleaning the DVD player's reading head with a cleaning DVD disk.  No help.  It became very stressful for my wife and I to watch any movie, living in fear that half way through the movie, the DVD player would stop being able to read the DVD.  So we bought the Sony DVPNS55P/S based on other reviews.  The Sony has played everything we've put in it flawlessly.  We're very pleased.
