Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
WARNING! Don't let this DVD's high rating fool you too!
I bought this DVD player after reading the many, many glowing reviews here.  BIG MISTAKE!  The true test of a DVD player is the ability to handle the movie THE MATRIX.  This DVD player refused to play that movie AT ALL.  Even the opening sequence broke up...before there was even any action on the screen!  I immediately returned the Panasonic DVD-RV31 and bought a Toshiba SD 1700.  What a difference!  The Toshiba handled THE MATRIX with no problems at all.  Absolutely no skipping or stopping.  If you're wanting to buy a great DVD player for little investment, go with the Toshiba SD 1700.
