Sony DVP-S330 DVD Player
If you're looking for your first DVD player...
I had shopped around for a DVD player for quite awhile and had recomendations for the Sony and Toshiba models. I was just looking for a VCR replacement so I didn't need any specical features, at least not yet.  Since I already used other Sony products (stereos and TVs), I chose the  Sony S330 and I haven't been disappointed yet.<br />It was easy to install. I  pulled it right out of the box with the patch RCA cables and S-Video cable  and was able to watch a movie in a couple of minutes. I can always set that  up with my stereo later when I had the time. If you're looking for a DVD  player to get you started, I'd definitely recommend the S330. I haven't  rented a video tape since.
