Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
First player I received had the power cord severed off. Power cord on second was in one piece but the player has problems reading most DVDs I check out from the library. Locks up playing one of my new DVDs. Reverse button on remote sometimes triggers unit to go into FF mode. I didn't pay for mine but it is still frustrating to use. Don't waste your money on this one...

Strengths:
Makes an attractive doorstop.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't reliably play DVDs. Must unplug power cord when player hangs - power button won't clear it.

Similar Products Used:
None, but will be purchasing Yamaha DV-C6760.

Price Paid:  $99.00 from Video Only - Portlan

Summary:
I bought Toshiba because of the zoom feature and must say it worked fine. The problem is quality, or lack of it, in the color module. One month after the extended warrenty expired, the color gave out and the unit only plays in black and white. I would not buy Toshiba again.

Strengths:
Zoom feature works fine and is very useful with my 32" TV.

Weaknesses:
Durablility

Similar Products Used:
My first DVD. My second one will be a better brand.

Price Paid:  $129.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I started out being very impressed with the price performance ratio of this player. However it recently started doing the "freeze frame" thing and now it no longer plays cds or dvds. I presently have the same "DISC ERROR" problem mentioned by previous reviewers. *I purchased this player because Toshiba made an outstanding vcr with excellent audio. However, it appears they dropped the ball on this one. Without the above problems I would have easily given it 5 stars but under the present circumstances 2 stars is the best I can offer.

Strengths:
Produces a wonderful picture and decent audio at this price point.

Weaknesses:
Poor reliability

Similar Products Used:
None. This was my first dvd player.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I had this player for about 3 weeks. Until 2 weeks ago everything worked fine, everything changed. One day I was wathing a VCD recorded on a CD-RW, the plzyer froze, and now it will not play any CD-RW disks. Another funny thing that a week ago the player stoped recognizing original audio cd (from a store). Every time I put a audio cd or and CD-RW I will get a message "DISK ERROR". However the player plays CD-R that I burned on my pc. I have this player for sale, at 35$ (comes with box, remote, cables and manual). Email me I you are interested ROGOWO1@AOL.Com

Weaknesses:
Does not display ID tags from Mp3 cd on the unit's lcd, and only displays the first 8 letters of a song or artist on the tv. This is a pain to me, bec I specificaly bought this player as a deck to play mp3 for my stereo.

Price Paid:  $129.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
This is a decent player for the money. The audio quality is excellent. It's not great at dealing with scratched discs, but the layer transition time is okay (about 1 second). The user interface is pretty simple, and I had no problem capturing the remote control signals with my Onkyo remote. Overall it's pretty similar to the Panasonic DVD-RV32K. Used extensively with Panasonic Tau 27" standard TV, Onkyo TX-SR700 and Paradigm/Hsu Research 5.1 system.

Strengths:
1. Audio quality is very good 2. Component output acceptable with black level expansion enabled

Weaknesses:
1. Greenish cast to left 1/8th of the screen in component mode (not a TV problem) 2. Not great with scratched discs 3. No filtering/subsampling when playing anamorphic discs on 4:3 TV in letterbox mode (causes flicker and jagged lines with Akira Special Edition) 4. No macroblock noise filter
