The DVD player is still a product in transition. Possible developments could include added CD recording capability. Further off, however, is a reasonably priced DVD recorder. For recording your favorite TV programs, VCRs, or the new digital video are the way to go for now. What's available DVD players are undergoing rapid evolution as manufacturers seek to differentiate their products and come up with a winning combination of features.
Models are consoles or portables.
Some consoles offer built-in karaoke features and the ability to play laserdiscs. Panasonic, RCA, Sony, and Toshiba are the biggest-selling brands. Console models can be used with just a TV or with an entire home-entertainment system. Like CD changers, these players accommodate two to five discs-even up to 300. You pay extra for the portability either way.
