hey everyone.
a friend of mine tells me he's getting a dvd player for his birthday this july and wanted to know what would be the brands to look at and which brands to avoid. i hafta say that i'm not the expert on this since my thought process when buying my dvd player was "one of my friend's parents have a toshiba, so it must be good."
i've told him that i won't buy a tosh again based on anamorphic downconversion and the crappy fast forward that always keeps going just a bit even after hitting play. i have however recommended either a sony or panasonic from what i've read in other threads. another bonus with the panasonic is that with the new players coming out this summer (?) last years models could probably be had slightly cheaper, no?
anyway, we're talking entry level, but nothing like an oritron, or sorny, or magnetbox, or crazy al's discount dvd...
thanks in advance for the help.
