Norcent DP302V DVD Player
dvd player is PERFECT for me
for the money this is awesome.  i have a really nice powered surround speaker system for my computer but i don't really need it for my computer.  so i got this dvd player and hooked up my surround sound to the dvd players 5.1 rca outputs.  this is the cheapest dvd player i've found with the built in dd decoder.  plus this player plays vcd's and svcd's, i've tested them.  and i've heard of a region-free hack but haven't tried it.  the picture quality is really good.  i can't see any difference between it's picture quality and playstation 2's dvd player's picture quality.  but i have seen worse.  and i have the component video output so it's really nice.  i think the remote is very user-friendly and responsive but not that stylish.  the remote also has all of the buttons you want.  and the set-up menu is pretty useful.  there are a good amount of useful things you can mess around with in it.<BR>what i don't like about the dvd player is it's compact size.  it's not full component size so it looks a little weird, but i don't really care.  also the buttons on the front of the dvd player are kinda cheap.  that's it really.
