Toshiba SD1700 DVD Player
Can handle the MATRIX without a problem
After reading many, many Amazon.com reviews we knew that a true test of a DVD player was the ability to play THE MATRIX without skipping or stopping.  We initially bought a Sony DVP S300 and it kept skipping at certain parts.  Returning that one, we then tried the Panasonic RV31 but it was even worse...it refused to play ANY portion of THE MATRIX. We then bought the Toshiba SD 1700.  What a difference!  It handled THE MATRIX with no problems AT ALL.  If you're wanting to buy a great DVD player for little investment...look no further.
