$80 panasonic DVD player from Target is good.

$60 panasonic VCR from Best Buy is good.

The DVD player plays through anything I've tried, like scratched DVDs.
It's primary defect is not being able to tell you how much time is left
for a program. Good that it doesn't remember what I've played, as I
don't like having my players remember where I stopped viewing a disc
after I eject it. Good that it's a pure player and not a recorder or a
combo with a VCR.

The VCR has an extremely fast rewind, so I generally record in SP now.
