Page 1 of New DVD player needed please help.

ok as some might know through other posts i have made i own a basement level DVD player the one bought from super drug a few months back, i bought it after much reading as my needs that i have to go through
a vhs as scart sockets are full on the tv.

so a macro defeating machine was a priority as where all the other usual
i want it to play vcd mp3 blah blah blah you know the script.

The super drug machine has got me pulling my hair out as it plays everything i throw at it, but it begins to stutter at the end of films [last ten minuets or so] i have noticed near identical scratches on my small but
brand new DVD collection.[is it possible the player could be doing this when it locks up] ideas please ,thought it was overheat but i have pointed a great big room fan at it,and it still stutters and locks.

i want to return this machine but i cant find a machine that fits my requirements [All my scarts are full with vhs digi box games ect]

have any of you got round this in other ways[not switchers]

my ideal answer would be a better quality player with the same features

budget £200
