Hi,

My wife would like a DVD changer that will do a play all sort of thing. What she really wants is to be able to put in 5 or 6 dvd's from a TV series and press a play all type of thing. She wants all the episodes to play automagically.

Does anything like this exist? Also I don't want to spend too much on a DVD player, as I know there will be another DVD player purchase soon once the HD DVD wars get played out. Let's say $200, but for the perfect fit I'd spend more.

Bonus features would be component upconversion and reasonably fast load times. We just purchased a Sony DVP NC80V and it's pretty slow to load discs and doesn't have many features focused on the multi disc portion of the player, unless I'm missing something. I know I could manually program all the titles to play, but that's more of a hastle than what my wife is looking for. We'll be taking it back to best buy next weekend probably.

Also the LCD on the NC80V is crap. It's some angled reflection thing and can't be read unless your at the same level of the player, which is a pain when I change discs as it's located below my TV.

Thanks the help.

I dont know of any player that will completely bypass the authored menus of a DVD, series or not...

How many commercial disks have you seen where you can put the disk in and it automatically plays the main title or titles without any user interaction? In 8 years I have seen very few, and I've never seen an episodic tv series that did. Perhaps your experience is different.

Maybe your thinking a multiple dvd player that wont stop between disc's?, my old apex 703 3 dvd would play straight thru without asking or stopping betwen dvd's

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think that it would be possible for a DVD player to play all the episodes like that automatically, but thought I would ask for my wife.
