DVD Player Recommendations

If the ones you have are working, I recommend nothing. Do you also use it as a cd/sacd player or just video?  Need some more info to answer this question. 

Yes CD & SACD player as well as DVD. 

I would go for the Panasonic UB-9000, as it is designed for good audio playback as well as for DVDs. I’m surprised a product like this exists anymore, as most people have gone to streaming for video.  

For a while there Pioneer was making a really excellent player that came in around the 1K mark.  But that went away.  These days, I think one of the top recommendations is the Panasonic UB9000 just mentioned, though at half the price a lot of people think the Panasonic UB820 is a very good performer at a good price.

Another +vote for Panasonic as above. Keep those Pioneer players. Both are classic models.

Happy Listening!
