So my DVD player might be trashed (see this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5278347#post5278347)). Thus, assuming leaving it unplugged for several hours doesn’t snap it out of it’s seizure, I’m heading to Best Buy tomorrow for a new one. I have a lot of DVDs with a few little scratches, so I need something that isn’t too picky and can deal with that okay. My price limit is about $120. What should I get? ---

I would suggest a Harman Kardon DVD-player, but I think they are over your budget. I have had mine now for over 2 years and it plays everything and has the clearest picture I have ever seen on any DVD-player. ---

I had a Sony that died on me awhile back. I replaced it with a JVC that was $100 or so. I swear there isn’t a CD/DVD this thing _won’t_ play. VCD, SVCD, DVD, etc.
