JVC RX-DV31SL DVD Player/Receiver , Silver
Great so far.
I have had it for more than 6mths, so far no problems. It plays everything i throw at it...dvds, cds, cdr, vcd, svcd, dvdr+-..only thing it has problems with is dvd-rw(rewritables). Other than that it plays all, including all my dvd backups. I've never found heat to be a problem on this unit even after extended play. The tons of connection choices is a plus and has almost all the stuff in it...except some of the more obscure Dolby capabilities and thx. Another reason i got this unit was because it had a competent dvd player built in. I did not want to get another player and take up more space on my shelf. The receiver functions, though not extremely high end, does have most of what you need to build a decent and competent home theater. Some things I consider important that this has is DTS, DOLBY, and progressive scan. Pictures look great on my plasma with component outputs.  <br /> <br />I got it for $159 so it was a good buy for me.
