My 4 year old JVC doesn't play certain DVD's due to format, so I need to buy another. Any recommendations in the $300 - $500 range? I hear a lot about the Panasonic XP 30 and XP50, and Denon. I don't know much about this stuff, and any help would be appreciated. The XP50 is about impossible to find. I don't watch a lot of DVD, but want something that will play DVD's that I create on my computer in the DVD-R format. I also have a high end sound system. Thanks for your help.

I picked up a Denon 1600 for $400. It is incredible!!! It also is one of the most reliable players available. For a real understanding of Progressive Scan and a great benchmark of 100's of players go to:www.hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-bin/shootout.cgi
You'll see that the Denon is at the top of the list and uses the highly regarded Genesis FLI2200 chip.
Hope this helps. : )
Just watched my first movie on my new Panny xp-30 progressive into a 32" digital-ready HD panasonic. VERY impressive. I had bought Ice Age from a video store and neither my Sony 7000 or Pioneer 525 would read it, but the Panny came through with flying colors. Used the analog outputs into a Ymaha 2092 and was also impressed with the sound for an inexpensive DVD. If you can find one, get it.
Go for the Panasonic RP-91...best bang for the buck in this price range...I heard they are now kinda hard to find. I have the RP-91N in champagne color...it has all the bells and whistles of some more expensive models at a reasonable price, the performance is amazing. Check it out on Panasonics website and look for great reviews at the link below. Hope this helps...Rob
I think the Panasonics offer the best compatibility with DVD-R. Toshiba also makes some players that will play back DVD-Rs, I think.
