If there are vents on the top,then dont stack.No vents,then stack away

Only oone,
why would you want to use 3 DVD players at the same time?

Even if they don't have vents, they'll still need to dissipate heat, plus the transport motors magnetic fields can interfere. So, in the interests of reliability, etc., try using some spacers, especially if the players have the usual tiny rubber pad feet. Maybe fit some much thicker adhesive rubber feet - eg., try Maplins.

Another tip for isolating your gear is to cut squash balls in half and use them under your kit.

they will not be all on at same time. and never thought dvd/hd players got hot

All players produce heat, though some less than others. Some run cool enough that they don't need vents, but use the case as a heat sink to dissipate heat. Some don't provide adequate cooling with the result that they virtually cook the disc, and without optimal ventilation, can become quirky in some conditions. Manufacturers usually recommend minimum spacing around player to provide adequate convection cooling, or enough room for fan exhaust when forced cooling is used. High def players tend to have greater thermal energy output, so most have fans to provide forced cooling. Spacing other than at the rear, is less important for these. Stray magnetic fields from adjacent players can affect operation and performance, so spacing can help here. If you use more than one player simultaneously, vibration can cause problems, so again, isolation with feet such as the half squash balls mentioned, can help. Having said all this, I run stacked items with minimal spacing and have no problems.
