Summary: Excellent value
Review: Got this player 7 months ago for [a reasonable price]. It was worth it then and even better now at a lower price. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it froze twice since when turning on. Only way to get it started is to unplug & replug. Willing to live with the occasional irritation for the video quality I get at a great price.

Now, if only it had Progressive Scan...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Easy to use, Dependable Performance
Review: Had it set up and was watching a DVD less than 5 minutes after I took it out of the box. Toshiba makes a great, reliable product and I would recommend this DVD Player to anyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't buy this player
Review: Had this player for less then a year, played less then 20 dvds on it and now it won't play any dvds at all, as soon as a dvd is loaded or I try to play one, the screen garbles and locks up.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Reliability Problems, Too
Review: I also bought a similar model from Amazon.com last year and the florescent display on it went erratic and died after less than 100 hours use. I've noted additional quirks, such as erratic freezes in DVD and CD playback. Earlier Toshiba products I've owned have gone decades without a problem.

Summary: Buyer Beware...Toshiba DVD players....
Review: I got the toshiba SD2700 last year for Christmas. We used it no more than 6 times and it broke. The dislay would not light up and the sound would not work. We even came across another person who had a similar DVD player with the exact same problem! And Toshiba's customer service is TERRIBLE! We may as well buy a new DVD player (NOT toshiba of course) with all the trouble we have gone through as well as the repair cost.
I don't know if toshiba has worked out the kinks for this new model, but I would'nt risk it.

Summary: Excellent, real trooper, works great!
Review: I had a previous Toshiba DVD (sorry don't remember the model number)and after about 1.5 years a little stepper motor that moves the read head stopped stepping. So I replaced that DVD player with the SD2800. Well about 1 year later it has a real hard time reading -R dics. Make that impossible. A friend has a cheap no name DVD player and it reads the dics without problems.

Toshiba is not going to make it to strike 3, I am done.

Summary: Toshiba SD-2800 DVD Player - DISC ERROR
Review: I had my Toshiba SD-2800 DVD player for 18 months. It worked well up until the other day, when "Disc Error" appeared after I put a movie in that I had rented. I tried several different discs and all had the same error, I even verified the discs were fine by playing them on my PC. I then checked out the net and found that the "Disc Error" is a very prevalent problem with this player and that I actually did pretty good getting 18 months out of it, as most seem to die at 12! It is not acceptable for a DVD player to breakdown after a year and a half of playing about half a dozen DVDs a month in it. I will not buy Toshiba again. Now that this machine is going in the trash, I'm going to go and buy a new Panasonic, as I have other electronic items of theirs and haven't had any problems.
