Toshiba SD2715 5-Disc DVD Player
The sales clerk was right
Sometimes, even when you get a scatterbrained and barely helpful employee who stops for two seconds to answer your question before rushing off, they're STILL right.  The barely out of her diapers teenager at Best Buy told me that the best five-disc changer was a Toshiba, but because she didn't seem credible I initially chose a Philips.  THAT was a huge mistake.  I rectified it by exchanging it for the Toshiba the next day and have loved it ever since.  It plays every DVD I throw in it flawlessly, from &quot;Fifth Element&quot; to &quot;American Pie 2&quot; to the second season of &quot;The Sopranos.&quot;  If you're looking for a high quality player with the added bonus of a five-disc changer for a relatively inexpensive price, this is your buy.  Sure, it doesn't have progressive scan, but if you don't have a HDTV (and I don't) you don't need it anyway - get this instead.
