Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Player
The DVD player that could.
I've had my 3109 for about 4 years now.  It was my first purchased DVD player, and i've never regretted it.  I think back then I paid on Ebay for new - $230 (including shipping). <br />I put in a lot of time watching DVDs, at least 6-8 hours a week.  The setup menu is detailed and useful, the image has always been great through s-video, the sound has never let me down.  The double-tray has proven useful over time.  The zoom has always been fun.  The multi-angle was cool for the two movies that had it (6-string Samuarai was one).  I've had some noticeable pausing from time to time with double-layer DVDs, and recently it balked at playing a particular disk that it's played before.  he recent upgrade of my TV has prompted me to get a replacement DVD player with a DVI port.  Aside from that one DVD, I'm still playing movies whilst waiting for the replacement momitsu 880 to arrive.<br />If you're considering getting this now, keep in mind:<BR>1) no progressive-scan<BR>2) no DVD-R, DVD+RW, etc. format disks<BR>3) no MP3, though it does read CD-Rs with wav files<br />You're probably better off buying an 80 dollar new Toshiba or Panny but if it's a hand-me-down the image and sound quality are excellent.  I'll be retiring this player to the bedroom.
