Rating: Summary: couldnt be happier Review: After hours of on-line comparisons and several more hours at the stores I landed on the Toshiba SD 2150. Picture Quality, with the color stream hook-ups, and DTS are unbelievable. See Toy Story! Dual decks is an option you only appreciate once you have it. Other units with similiar cost and one tray dont compare. Ive done your shopping for you. This ones a keeper.
Rating: Summary: Love it Review: After purchasing a low-end DVD player and experiencing the frustration of that experience, I asked the girl at the electronics store for her advice on a good, reliable DVD player that wouldn't cost me a fortune. She immediately pointed out the Toshiba SD-2150 and stated she owned one herself. The price was VERY right and the fact that it was dual disc player made it even better. I took it home and immediately played all of the discs my old player couldn't handle and the SD-2150 had no problems with ANY of them. I am VERY happy with this product.
Rating: Summary: Plug and Play Review: Bought it, got it in the mail, opened the box, plugged it in (TV and wall), put in a DVD, played the movie. Still haven't read the instruction manual - I found it very intuitive and it's great to have two trays. Very happy with this purchase and the price was wonderful.

Rating: Summary: BEST 2 Disc Player! Review: Convenience and Performance all at a great value. I shopped around and this is the best 2 Disc player for the money. The picture quality is great, the hook-up was a snap and the remote is idiot proof. This is my second Toshiba DVD player and I wouldn't consider buying anything else!
Rating: Summary: Good Bang for the Buck Review: I bought this DVD player largely on the reviews found here on Amazon and on the fact that we recently bought a Toshiba TV and wanted a player from the same manufacturer. Setup was quite easy. Picture with component video cabling is remarkable; sound is also very good. The two trays are very helpful for watching movies in serial (such as Superman I & II) or 2-disk sets in which one has the movie and the other special features. I found the remote to be fairly easy to use, if a little on the small side. Its main drawback is the lack of CD-R, CD-RW, and other home-recorded digital media playback. If you mix/record a lot of your own CDs then you'll want to hang on the your CD-player or look elsewhere for your DVD player.
Rating: Summary: Easy to use Review: I bought this last weekend, and I'm very happy with the picture quality, the ease of use, and the feel of the remote control. A couple notes of caution. First, if you're planning on using this with a TV with S video input, beware that the S video cable is not included. Secondly, I am not using this machine to play audio CDs, so I cannot comment on the ease of playing audio CDs or CDRWs.
Rating: Summary: Good machine, horrible warranty Review: I bought this machine when it was a little more expensive and I am generally happy with the features and capabilities. This is also the second Toshiba DVD player that I have owned. The only thing that is a drawback (and it's a big one)is the warranty service. The machine' remote suffered a melt-down after being used for two months. After conferring with Toshiba's customer service about warranty support for the remote I brought it to their designated service center in my area. -Remotes are not serviced, they are just replaced.- After replacing the remote (under warranty) Toshiba changed the text of their warranty and decided that they weren't going to honor their previous warranty and had the service center bill me (...) Beware the service and get their promises of support in writing. If you never use the equipment, it will never need service.

Rating: Summary: Died after three movies Review: I did a lot of research before buying my (primary) DVD player, please read on. The dual tray is a great option. The biggest thing this player has going for it is 540 lines of horizontal resolution. If you have a TV with component input, but it doesn't support anamorphic, nor does it support progressive scanning, getting a higher resolution output is your only method of improving your picture. Composite video has a resolution of 380 horizontal lines. S-Video has a resolution of 420 horizontal lines. I do not know what coax (cable) is capable of. And component (three rca plugs of green, red, blue) can do from 480 and up. Most DVD players do 480 to 500 lines of resolution, but certain Toshiba players have the much underrated option of 540 horizontal lines. This may not sound like a big deal to you, but compare to 380 of composite (single yellow rca plug), and you are reaching over 150% the detail. So if you want to get all you can from your slightly older technology TV set, this is the DVD player to get.
