[rage3324]

I need a DVD player that supports 3-5 Disk changer, SVCD, VCD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and Progressive scan. Those are the essentials.

What do you guys suggest?

Probably should take DVD+R and SVCD discs to store to test

I bought the Sony DVP-NC615B for the same reason and found out there are two versions of it. The US model does not play SVCD's. Customizing the SVCD's with the VCD header on them did allow play but makes them non-standard SVCDs and I noticed after a while these non-standard SVCD's would play right in an SVCD player. In summary I would not recommend the Sony. I haven't tested the Panasonic but would tend to guess that one should work.

I bought an Apex 5131 (3-disc changer) a few months ago. it has some drawbacks (lousy remote, a bit loud), but it plays everything i throw at it. However, one caveat: it has recently stopped playing normal DVDs for some reason (it still plays VCDs and SVCDs just fine). I contacted Apex "support" and they were utterly useless in even trying to make a pretense of helping me out.

I don't think those Sony's have progressive scan. Progressive scan is a must.
