Need DVD Player opinion!

[Doctor Gallop]

Hello Peoples!

I could really use some knowledgeable advice on buying a good DVD Recorder/Player.
It would have to be under $200.00 and I have to ask what might seem like a really stupid question, but here it goes: When you buy a "DVD Recorder", does that mean you can't just "play" a DVD on it to watch? Does it mean you can "only" record? The reason I'm confused is because I only see them advertized as a DVD Recorder or a DVD Player.
Thank you for any help at all fellas.

No worries, you can record and watch DVD on a DVD recorder.

I would suggest Pioneer, Toshiba or Panasonic. Others may be good too but I have no experience w/ them yet.
Good luck!!
