Panasonic DVD-RV30 DVD Player
A Great Entry Level DVD Player
I don't have a digital-ready receiver so I decided to get a low-end DVD.   I did a little DCD-player studying with the intent of purchasing a Sony  S360 (my friend has one).  We've watched movies together on it, and it was  so much better than my PC DVD that I had to go get one.  *+*I then learned  that the Sony makes a weird whirling sound while playing.  The sound  continues as long as a movie is playing, and can be heard if the soundtrack  of the movie is quiet.*+*  Because of this reason and because I wanted to  be different from my friend, I bought the Panasonic.  I am VERY happy.   It's small, lightweight, and doesn't have the audio and video gliches my PC  DVD has.  I'd say if you don't have a digital receiver or a receiver at  all, buy this model.
