Panasonic DVD-S29K DVD Player , Black
Amazingly good...
This is the best dvd player I've ever had..and I've owned quite a few.  I recently bought a 3 disc DVD collection of \\"Kolchak the Nightstalker\\".  These turned out to be dual sided discs of dubious quality.  They exhibited major warpage, and numerous flaws.  My Magnavox DVD player was freezing up trying to play them.  My Toshiba did marginally better, with only an occasional \\"freeze\\".  My Panasonic S29 played these discs with no problem at all, and a crisper image to boot.  It's true that this Panasonic will play anything you care to feed it.  It might be a \\"low end\\" player, but it performs better than anything I've seen yet..at any end.
