About 3 of my friends went out and bought a 200-300 dollar Toshiba, and it is one of the pickiest high priced pieces of crap out there (won't play burned dvd's or anything that isn't brand new). I bought a 70 dollar Sanyo from Wal-Mart, and that cheap DVD player plays everything (no skipping or freezing). So far all of my friends went out and bought cheap dvd players to replaced the Toshiba one. Usually you get what you pay for, but dvd players seem to be the exception to the rule.

offset I agree with you totally. In the case of DVD players cheap is good! I have a $40 Apex 1100W that I bought a year and a half ago and it has played everything I've thrown at it. I bought a Philips years back that was to support DVDR's when they became available and guess what? It only plays about half of my backups and when I first insert a DVDR it sounds like the insides of the player are goin' to blowup. One time I had to insert a backup 10 times before it would read it. It dosen't support Mp3, JPEG, MPEG or Kodak picture discs which my Apex does. When and if the ole Apex takes a crap I'll buy another one. $40 every few years is no big deal. And as various formats are updated so will your cheap DVD player.

Yeppers I agree, my 200. Panasonic is no good for backups!
Best thing is that you can purchase one of these mentioned and if it is not to your satisfaction most places will let you return the product!!!
good luck ChuckD

mblue, I couldn't agree with you more. As I mentioned earlier in this thread that I had a $300 Philips (Crap) that can play DVD and CD's ok but forget DVD-R/W and it doesn't support Mp3. My Apex for $40 kicks ass. I have had NO PROBLEMS in the year and a half so I got my monies worth for sure. It plays everything it says it will very well except DVD+R/W discs. But this particular format came out after DVD-R/W. DVD-R/W is more prominent as far as DVD players supporting it. DVD-R/W is all I use for my movie backups. I do use DVD+R/W for computer data.

I have an Apex 1110W which is suppose to play DVD+R's but doesn't. Anyone else have this model with the same problem or is it my unit? It may be the media also. I've only tried Philips which using DVD Info Pro showed CMC Magnetics as the manufacturer.

Hey Jason,
I'm not sure about the Pioneer, but you should be safe with the RCA. If you have any concerns whether or not it will play your burned movies, take one to the store with you (considering the business has one hooked up to a t.v.). I would say the RCA is the safer bet of the two (and the less expensive).
Good luck

Thank you for replying. Only problem with trying it out in a store is that the site says this model is only available online. And I don't think my local Best Buy keeps any DVD players hooked up.
But I will check out some RCA's at the store tomarrow.

I would go with the RCA only because it supports playback of both DVD+R/W and DVD-R/W. The Pioneer doesn't support DVD+R/W probably because Pioneer invented the - format which was actually the first to come out. Other than that both units seem to have the same features. Some units will not play some brands of DVDR's. It's a good idea to contact the manufacturer to find out which brands are compatible.
