Panasonic DVD-S29S DVD Player , Silver
Works great, but...
Unlike our earlier generation DVD player, this one has had no problems with those dirty or scratched DVDs from the rental store. When it hits some bad sections, it'll jump over them (if very bad) or show you contorted pictures for a moment, but it'll keep on going!!  Our last one would just stop & display an error, which is very irritating to say the least!  <br /> <br />Two somewhat minor downsides: <br />1. The remote could be designed better (who designs these things anyway?) Small buttons, non-intuitive names, black lettering so one needs a fair amount of light to see what one is pressing. <br /> <br />2. No bookmark feature. You take your DVD out & put in one for the kids & then put your DVD back in later & the player doesn't remember where you left off. ALL DVD players should have this feature!!!  <br />
