What are the best makes of DVD players. As the one i have got at the moment is a Goodmans and when i put a dvd in it skips,i've used a DVd lens cleaner but still no luck so is my best bet to buy a new one.And if it helps my TV is a Sanyo.
We had the exact same problem with a goodman's and bought a pacific from Asda and have had absolutely no problems so far plays anything Mp3's,cd's and Dvd's really good value for �24.99.
I bought a Yakumo off Amazon for around thirty quid, was ok for a few months then packed up. Got a replacement and that packed up. Sent it back and got a Sony DVP-NS30 from Amazon for under fifty quid and it's amazing. The sound quality is unreal, especially now I run it through my stereo. Can't fault the picture and features either. Would recommend it highly.
Try ones from aria.co.uk or novatech.co.uk. The very best at a reasonable price is made by Toshiba (see What Hi-Fi mag or website). However, DVD recorders are coming down in price so you might want to wait for one (or just buy the cheapest player you can just now, seen one in the paper for �19.99 !!!)
