I have two DVD players, an old, cheapo Toshiba SD-2700, and a newer (universal) JVC XV-NP10S.
The JVC has noticeably better video quality and shows track numbers for CDs. The older Toshiba lacks track numbers.
But my problem is that while watching Star Trek-First Contact tonight, the JVC reached a new height in annoying pauses: at least 15 during the first half of the movie. Plust a bunch of stutters, as well. In fact my wife and I got so annoyed we switched out players, to the Toshiba. No pauses at all!

So I need a reccomendation. I like the higher quality DVD picture of the bad player, but cannot stand this many 'pauses' or 'stops'. Nor do I want to spend $300+ for a new player--and from what I read, many players have this flaw.

I hoped that asking the question here, would find someone who could recommend a decent player.

Thanks,
