Toshiba SD2710 DVD Player
GREAT PLAYER AT A GREAT PRICE
Got this player a few days ago and have played about 10 dvds, 5 vcds and 3 mp3 disks.  The Toshiba SD2710 performed 99.9% flawlessly with one brief lockup on a cheap foreign vcd that might have had a little dirt on it. It only paused for about 3 seconds and then continued playing. The remote is smaller, but you'll probably like the extremely cool on-screen menu so much that you won't mind that. This is a fairly new model that is PACKED with great features.  I really like the black level picture adjustment (really enhances the picture by making the blacks blacker) and also the setting that allows you to enhance the audio portion of the soundtrack so you don't have to keep turning the tv up &amp; down to hear people talking.  I shopped extensively on the web and hit all the major stores and I couldn't find a better player in this price range (mid-100's). If you need an intelligently-designed, easy to use lower-priced player, I would highly recommend the Toshiba SD2710.
