I am not technically sophisticated. I have been reading reviews of lots of different dvd or combined blue ray / dvd players. People occasionally mention some frustration with the remote control units and occasionally the video interface and ease of use. I am assuming that most anything I get will have a good image, but for someone that will only be using this as a player, no internet hook up, no wifi etc, which ones are the easiest to use. Which ones have remotes that don't have to be laser locked! on the unit to use. I am looking for a good unit that will do most of the selection of different disc material without requiring the user-ME! to have to do very much. Any personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks .

I find Sony and Panasonic players (DVD and Blu-ray) rather easy to use. A quick reading of their manuals should get you up and running without much difficulty.
Usually the tricky part is that players sometimes utilize two different buttons on the remote to access different menu options. Different brands also use their preferred wording on those buttons. It would make life easier if all players' menus were simply labeled "Menu," and would call up all available settings with that one button.
I suggest you download user manuals from manufacturers' websites and see which brand and model best suits you.
Finally, if you own a high-definition TV with HDMI input connections, I don't see a reason to purchase a DVD player when Sony and Panasonic make excellent Blu-ray players that sell for very low prices (all Blu-ray units play standard DVDs as well). For example, I checked several online dealers and found the trustworthy Crutchfield.com currently has the Sony BDP-S1100 for $59.99 with free shipping and a 60-day refund policy (see link below). Since you say you're not technically inclined, Crutchfield's telephone support, both before and after a purchase, would be ideal for you.
Sony is the most intuitive and easiest unit to set up and most importantly use. Crutchfield is a great company to buy from too. Can't go wrong with either of them.
