Panasonic DVD-F65K Super Slim 5-Disc DVD Player , Black
Very good player
It plays everything I've put in it - DVD, DVD+R, CD-R, CD-RW, CDs with MP3s on them, and does a much better job of it than my old Toshiba 2200.  The picture is better than the older Toshiba, sharper and smoother with much better color.  Try the enhanced black level setting in the setup menu - it makes things look better on my Trinitron.  It's also very slim, as the name suggests, if you care about that kind of thing.  You can probably get better performance out of a more expensive player, but I haven't seen anything better at this price.
