Summary: Do your homework
Review: After the player arrived, it was set up and ready to run in only a few minutes. Then I put in a dvd. Talk about slow. It seemed to take more time to start the disc than it took to hook up the system. When the movie finally did start, I was delighted. The sound and picture quality were excellent. I found the remote to be very easy to use, and the zoom control was fun to play with. Then I put in a second movie, Disney's "Atlantis", and the player would not read the menu. I've tried three copies of the same movie from Blockbuster, but the player simply can't read this movie. The assistant at Blockbuster even played the movie on the store dvd player for me. It played without a hitch. I don't know if the problem is with my particular player, or with the design of this model. Tried to get in touch with Toshiba product support by email. It's been three days, and nothing. So take care if support after the sale is important to you. Thank goodness for Amazon's return policy.

Summary: Don't buy this DVD Player
Review: as a matter of fact I'll never buy anything Toshiba again. It worked for only two days, while my Sony CD player had worked for 15 years (I kid you not). The only complaint I have about those two days is that it was slow to recognize disks and slow to change disks.On the 3rd day I went to put in some music CD's and it kept telling me "No Disk." I tried all sorts of things to no avail. I finally called customer support and on the third call they told me I had to take it to a "service provider" for repair?!?! The customer support people were totally useless giving me different responses everytime I called (the first two times telling me a supervisor would call me back). Who knows what will happen when I take it all the way to Portland to get it worked on. Over all it's been a waste.

Summary: Toshiba SD2715 drawbacks
Review: First I would like to say if you have this player do not buy a Yamaha reciever to go with it. If you do get a new DVD player or at least the firmware upgrade. What happens is this. If you use digital sound it will make popping noises when switching between menus ..very annoying. Also after the firmware upgrade I have now had some srious problems with this player skipping scenes...also very annoying.Also,can you say slow? This has to be one of the slowest players I have ever come across. It does play everything but it sure takes its time getting going.
on the plus side it has a very good remote and as a whole the dvd player would be awesome if I could just be sure that I was going to see the whole movie everytime. I thought the cutout scenes were suppose to be in the menu not during the movies...at random!!!!!!!!
Do some research first. BUY WITH CAUTION!!!!!!!

Summary: 5 discs, plays VCDs, great price, but chokes on Black Hawk
Review: Having great experiences with a Toshiba SD2700 DVD player, I thought the SD2715 would make a great secondary unit. Within a day, it became my primary DVD player, and the 2700 was off to the basement TV. It has shown massive stuttering on "Black Hawk Down" - hoping it is a bad rental copy. Plays "The Matrix" with no problems - usually a litmus test for cheap decoders in cheap players. Hopefully an isolated event. I'll amend the review with an update. Plays VCDs recorded on the cheapest media known to man. Allows for Disc Exchange while others are playing - a nice feature when you're looking for that rental DVD while watching another movie. Gives off a nice picture. Tip: turn on the 3D Audio function for pronounced rear channel effects off a 5.1 disc - sounds great. Great player for the price. It does take 10 seconds to warm up, but it's a nice, reliable player.

Summary: Did not work
Review: I am having to return the item, a real hassle, because it did not work straight out of the box. It would play CD's, but we tried several DVD's, some brand new, and it will not play them at all.

Summary: Toshiba: Safe, but boxy
Review: I bought this player because it could play MP3 Cd's and hold 5 disks. I was very surprised with the versatility of the product. All of the features are useful and well planned out. I especially enjoy the onscreen menu of MP3 files. When I invite people over for drinks, I put the T.V. on and it opens up a whole realm of discussion. The chicks really dig the selection. Yet, you must close all of your MP3 Cd's before the machine will play them, and it's really embarassing when a disk fails in the machine and you have to turn it off to get anything working. But, as with any first-generation product, the concept is worth paying for. I'd buy it again.

Summary: Avoid this model
Review: I had only played about 10 hours of DVD when it stopped playing VCD format disks. Because I rarely used this unit, the 90day warranty had expired. I would definitely AVOID Toshibas from now on. Such a waste of money considering I paid [what I paid] for this unit. The repair shop informed me the warranty only covers part, so I had to pay ... for labor. After some consideration, I decided to spend ... more and brought an APEX three disk carousel model(AD5131), ... It's working great, way more features than Toshiba or any other brands for about 1/3 the cost.

Summary: so far, so good
Review: I just received this item, my first DVD player, and have had a very good experience so far. I was actually looking for a cd changer, and and DVD player, and this took care of both for an unbeatable price. The sound quality for playing cds is excellent, and the picture quality for the DVDs is very good. I would definitely recommend this item.

Summary: Skipped badly
Review: I played three dvd movies and every one skipped and paused about every 10 minutes. It also skipped on a cdr. The mp3 playback worked but has no functions, no id3 tags, no shuffle. You can skip through tracks, but thats about it. I tried to play a cdr with mpeg files and nothing happened except some soundtrack like music that wasnt even on the disc. I sent it back as a defective unit. The skipping problem seems to be common with a lot of dvd players based on many reviews I have read. I am going to try some other brands and see if one will work. Altogether, very disappointing

Summary: 2 out of 3 failed
Review: I purchased 3 of these players as Christmas gifts. 2 of them have since failed with either skipping problems or freezing problems and the receipients have had to return them. In short the risk here is greater than the reward.
