OK, this is what I require:

1. Resume a movie from where it left off, even *after the player has been turned off*
2. Fast tray opening
3. Good picture quality
4. Less than $80

What I really would like to have:

1. HDMI connection

Nice to have:

1. Upconverting capabilities

Any advice? Thanks.

Get a Philips 5982,you can buy one at any department store.

Sony NS-77, Costco has their version with HDMI cable for $59

Best $$$ I ever spent! The Oppo 980H is a great investment if you watch a lot of SD DVD.

To the original post. What display are you using with it?

The Sony DVP-NS700H is a very good player dvd player for under $80.
