Toshiba SD-3960 DVD Player

Summary: Blurry, washed-out picture.
Review: There's really not much else to say -- I bought this to replace a non-progressive DVD player, and at first I thought I was seeing things... the colors were washed out and unsaturated, and there was a grainy texture to everything. I tried several DVD's, and they're all the same. I also tried going from component video to S-video, but that didn't fix the problem. Maybe it's just the one I got, but I'm just going to get something else.

Summary: the worst DVD player i have seen
Review: This is by far the worst DVD player I have used

Takes at least 10 seconds to open the tray and to load it takes 30 seconds sometimes

Of the 20 DVD's I have tried to watch atleast 5-6 had to be played on a different player since this player worked as if I had put in a stone disc

i was able to watch only 2-3 movies without any skipping

VCD's are ruled out although claims are made
DVDs that are good on other players are termed as bad

It starts grinding when moving between chapters

i would reject this player outright even if it is offered for 4.99 instead of 49.99

Toshiba should stop selling this than wasting the postage money of the clients by sending another useless player

Summary: Not bad for fifty bucks
Review: This unit has played everything video I have put in it so far including DVD+R which is not listed as compatible. The picture is very good using the composite hook up, and incredible using the componet hook up. One minor flaw,the display shows only chapters and not time elapsed. You can press the display button on the remote and easily view time elapsed. I am using this strictly as a DVD player so I have no views on the audio. It is well worth the price even if just for movies.

Summary: Great Value!
Review: Toshiba is a very reliable, good quality mfg. This progressive scan DVD player is PRICED to sell! Compared to the "no name" garbage that is on the market, you can't go wrong with this one...Plays everything you throw at it - MP3's , media files burned off the web, JPEG files, scratched DVD's...Great sound quality for CD's...Compact size...100X FF, Zoom, etc.Quiet transport. This is a WINNER! Best yet, [...]
