What tips can you give me for buying a DVD player?

Answer by  PeterA (21)

When buying a DVD player you should take in account what are the connections available on the DVD player, and potentially USB connectivity for easy viewing of your photos and movies on your TV. Also some DVD players allow scaling of the video, which is good for HDTVs.

Find a player that has a reliable laser (This reads your DVD's.) make sure it reads all types of dvd's (dvd-r/dvd-rw/dvd-dl/dvd-r+/dvd-r-.) Stay below about $60, this is the usual range.

Check that it has outputs that work with your tv (and stereo sytem if you have one.) Also, if you are looking for HD quality consider an DVD up-converter.

If you are new to the DVD trend, it sounds like you still have a lot of VHS tapes that you plan on watching? If so, buy a dvd/vcr combo.
