Audiovox D1705 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Good player &amp; great price
I bought one of these at Costco for $279 and had no problems with the skipping or any of the stated problems in these reviews.  It has moving parts so of course its going to skip if you drop it or hit it, just like any CD Discman will do as well.<br />I returned mine because it didn't play DVD-RAM formats which are common in newer set-top DVD-recorders.  Also, this unit does not have fast forward and rewind functions.  It skips through to the next chapter which is fine for a rented DVD but when you are recording long TV shows or home videos, you aren't going to sit there and program chapter markers every 10 minutes.  Thus, when watching TV shows, you have to watch it all in one sitting and can't fast forward or rewind or even shut off the unit without having to start all over again.  That's not cool if you're watching a 3 hour long DVD.<br />If you're only going to be watching rented DVD's, I highly recommend it.  If you need FF/REW or DVD-RAM compatibility, then skip it.
