Without knowing if you want DVI support, we can't recommend any players that support DVI.
I'm not sure if any really exist in the $200 price range, outside of maybe the Bravo D-1.
For $175 - $200, there's the
Pioneer DV-563a which supports DVD-Video/DVD-Audio/SACD, many CD formats and DVD recordable formats, as chlngr1970 recommends. This has been a very popular player since it supports DVD-Audio/SACD for under $200.
If you don't want/need DVD-Audio or SACD, see if you can find a Panasonic DVD-XP30 or DVD-RP82 (which does support DVD-Audio). They've been discontinued but you might be able to find one online. They are _great_ players.
The
Toshiba SD-4900 (which also supports DVD-Audio) might be worth checking out as well as the
Toshiba SD-3950.
All of the above players will support Dolby Digital and dts and will all have coax and optical (toslink) audio outputs as well as component video outputs, etc.
Do you want any special features like "Zoom" or WMA (Windows Media Audio) or MP3 support? JPEG picture viewer?
EDIT: You can ignore the MSRPs on the above product pages as the street prices are much lower than the MSRP. So, in the case of the Toshiba SD-3950, the MSRP is $129 which means you can probably find it for under $100.
Peace...
