Here's the deal. I've had a Zenith (DVB312) for the past 2 years, and though I'm thinking of upgrading, Zenith players have an "auto play" feature that skips past menus/previews and starts playing the movie as soon as you load a disc.
I can't live without this feature!
Otherwise I'd have bought the Philips DVP642 based on the good reviews and the fact it has optical out. I was wondering if there're any other companies that make players with a feature similar to auto play or if anyone could recommend a player south of $100 bucks that's better than the Philips DVP642 in the video/audio department.
