Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Best bang for the buck
After doing alot of research I have found (for the $200 range) this is by far the best player you can buy.  It seems every player below this one is inferior and anything above it just has expensive &amp; useless features.  The controller is well setup (unlike their previous SD1200 model) and it has 3 levels of zoom, which is very usefull if you feel the movie looks too &quot;widescreen&quot; you can zoom in once, or zoom in twice to get the &quot;tv&quot; look.  You can change things like language and closed caption on the fly and not have to stop the movie.  I can't think of a single feature this player is lacking, except audio optical output which is really for high end audiophiles.  The player has both RCA output and Component output, which is important for you expensive TV (aka HDTV) buyers to get the best possible image.  I have purchased this, and like it so much, I convinced 3 friends to also purchase this player, all of them love it.  One friend's younger brother purchased another DVD player, I believe that GPX player that boasts MP3 playback &amp; such for $130 and he's sorry he got it and wished he had just boughten this player.  On a side note for you advanced users, this player does not play VCD, SVCD of MP3 disks.  If you don't know what those are, don't worry then, you'll never use those features.
