Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Very pleased with this player
Just got the SD-1600 for Christmas, and I'm very happy with it.  The setup wasn't too difficult (took me a second to split apart the enclosed RCA cables, so that I could plug the DVD video out into my TV, and the audio outs into my stereo), it's extremely easy to use, and the picture/sound quality are outstanding, even though I'm using the analog outputs.<br />I had been researching DVDs for several months, and at first I was leaning towards Samsung, but the reviews on Amazon were not terribly favorable, but nearly everyone was happy with the Toshiba, so I selected that one, and I've been impressed with it.  These reviews are EXTREMELY helpful to me for stuff like this!<br />If you want a starter DVD (and if you've got a normal TV and stereo like me, why not go with a starter?) the Toshiba SD-1600 is your way to go.
