Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Player
Most bang for the buck I could find
I bought this DVD player after searching for what seemed like months for the best price-to-features deal. This player has everything I needed to augment my current system including on-board digital processing that my  tuner doesn't. And although you can go straight to your TV via composite or  S-Video just like a VCR, DVD really shines as a component in an A/V setup.  This player supports running 6 audio channels out to an A/V tuner. In this  configuration you really appreciate the benefit of DVD. You just have to  see the clarity and crispness of the static free picture coupled with super  sound quality to believe it. Another cool thing about this one, which is  not something that I was shopping for, is the 2-disc loader. This feature  doesn't come in handy that much actually but when you want to have a movie  marathon it's there. And you can use it as a CD player as well. Best of  all, you don't even need the guide to set it up. Just plug it in, connect  the cables (all connectors are clearly labled) and away you go. I'm not an  audiofile but I cannot think of a feature that I'm missing out on nor have  I yet seen another player on the market that I would buy instead.
