a.bunker · 05-15-2002, 06:53 PM

I am looking to get a new DVD player. Im looking to spend somewhere in the range of $129 - $149. I dont have a high end audio or video set up. I have S video capabilities. Im mainly looking for a durable player thats going to give me solid audio and video and is not going to give me disc read errors. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Also, what store do you recommend I buy from that will have the best prices?

Thanks!!!

I love my Samsung dvdm301, although someone else here, I think it was Ikea boy, had problems with one.

Bought a Toshiba SD2800 and the picture and sound are good with my Home theater and TV. Plus it has hook-ups for S-Video. I got it at Future Shop for $230 Cnd and if you are american i would think the player would fall in your price range.

****just went ot check the site and noticed its $10 cheaper this week. Which mean i get $11.50 back becaus eit was advertised cheaper within 30 Days of its Purchase

I have the Toshiba SD2800 too(got it free

) and it's really nice for the price. It has component out too if you upgrade to a new TV. It also has coaxial and optical audio output.
