JVC XVN410BK Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Good if flimsy, after firmware upgrade
You might want to avoid this unit if you let kids use your entertainment center, as the tray feels like it could snap off if handled roughly; it's pretty lightweight.    When I got this player, it would freeze occasionally while playing commercial DVDs, and every 30 seconds while playing DVD-R and +R discs I burned (using Verbatim media and a Plextor burner).  After about 10 seconds frozen, it would resume.    JVC has a free firmware update you can download which fixes this problem (hanging at chapter changes).  You burn it to a CD-R and it's simple to update the player.  It fixed the problem for me.  It's at:    (...)  This firmware fix moved this player from 2 stars to 4 for me.
