Sony DVP-S7700 DVD Player
Top of the line
Bottom line:  This DVD player has everything that you could need or want.  Sony invented DVD, and this is their top of the line model, enough said.  The way I figure, DVD will be here for the forseeable future, and I wanted  to buy a player that would last for at least that amount of time.  Now I  need to find the Spinal Tap DVD.
