JVC XV-S200BK DVD Player , Black
One word: terrific!
The SV-S200 is a great DVD player for an incredible price.  Makes a great first or second DVD player in your house.  The black styling is, well, stylish, and the player is thinner than many more expensive models.  Plays DVDs and DVD-Rs and also many Asian video formats... yes, great for watching those cheap kung-fu movie VCDs from Chinatown. :)  Get this.  It's so affordable, you have nothing to lose.
