Sony DVP-CX985V 400 Disc Progressive DVD / SACD Player
Simple to use
I really have no idea why some people think this unit is difficult to use.  I have not had any problems whatsoever with operating it and feel the menus are quite easy to follow and navigate.  As far as the disc skipping and gauges.....haven't encountered a problem there either.  My suggestion would be to purchase a CD cleaner/repair kit and use it on DVD's prior to loading them. <br />The picture quality is very good and the sound is crisp.  I am using the optical digital output which IMO makes a huge difference. <br />For the price of this player and the ability to catalogue 400 DVD's, I say go for it.
