I know a similar question was posted before, but I didn't get what I wanted from the other threads, so here it goes-

I am looking to buy a new DVD player for a couple reasons- eventually it will be for a new HT set-up and also the older Toshiba is running a little rough these days (it's also my brothers that I want to give back).

I am looking for a 5 disc player. I bought a Yamaha 660 a few months ago and tested it out and wasn't too pleased. The picture looked great, but the fast forward/rewind/next chapter seemed very cumbersome- for example, it was hard to get to previous chapters and rewind smoothly. It just didn't seem as 'smooth' as my older Sony. I'm thinking because the older Sony was about 6 years old and seemed to be built quite well, but didn't play all the formats.

Anyway, I'm looking where to start when looking at the DVD players- I would like to try out another Yamaha (since I'm extremely pleased with their receivers), however, I'm wondering if other Yamahas play the same as my other one I returned- I might have to test them out in the store for operational standpoints.

Toshiba or Panasonic usually good players, too? Maybe a Pana DVDF87 or a Tosh SD6915? What about a Yamaha 6770 or 750 (or something like that)- I can usually get pretty good deals from my local retailer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
Eric
