Need advice - please???

I am VERY new to this DVD "stuff" and as for most of the terms/features, I do not have a clue as to what they are for or do. I want to buy a nice DVD player for a Christmas gift. I have researched to the point that I am more confused than when I first started. I am thinking of spending between $75 to $150. It needs to be as basic as possible for the main use is just for watching movies. It seems that in reading most "consumer polls" that Pioneer is the most purchased/liked (?).

Thanks wayyyyyyyyyyyyy in advance! Have a SUPER week!

PS - Does anyone know much about the home theaters?

Pioneers are pretty good. I have 3 or 4 friends who bought em at walmart for $79 or so and they love em. They play multi formats....like vcd, mp3, dvd+r. dvd-r, dvd-rw. Thumbs up

Thanks! 72 views and only one response - must be on the wrong forum. I am still confused but may get that Pioneer DVD player @ Wal-Mart. Heck, I do not know. I keep reading the reviews on all of them and ALL have good and bad things to say. Oh well, thanks again!

Have a SUPER week!

if its just for watching movies, dont worry too much about the model...

try http://www.crutchfield.com/S-GVSLrEreXXo/ for info about home theaters and prices....

you mite consider an all-in-one with receiver/dvd player and all suround speakers which are easy to set up and provide great audio... 5.1 surround

if u are a real audiophile tho, youll want to build the system component by component... maybe 6.1 or 7.1 surround

Thanks again!

Hun?? How will I know? What do I need to look for? Wonder why I am sooooooooooooooo confused. LOL LOL LOL Do you like your Panasonic? The Pioneer does all that "stuff" you said.

I did make some accomplishments today. I have ordered all three of the Austin Powers DVD's to go along w/the DVD player that I have not bought yet. I did not think they were funny the first 20 times I watched them. :P LOL LOL LOL

Have good evening!

Go to DVD Players https://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers to see which DVD player to get, and waht it plays, you might want a DivX player

I have had nothing but good luck with Panasonics--they're inexpensive, and they support most formats. 8)
