Toshiba SD3755 Progressive-Scan 5-Disc DVD Player

Summary: MY LAST TOSHIBA PRODUCT EVER
Review: Would have been zero stars if they'd let me. this is the single most disapppointing piece of consumer electronics I have bought in a decade or more. For starters, while they call it a changer, if you want to use it as a five-disc CD changer and have it automatically switch from one disc to the next, you have to turn on your TV eash time, go through a menu and reprogram the thing. the company tells me that this is because the CD player part of it is only an "added feature" and not the main purpose of the unit. Secondly, it is extraordinarily slow to respond to any inputs; if you power it up, it takes 30-45 seconds before it will accept any commands at all. And it is pretty choosy about what commands it will take from the remote even from two feet away pointed right at it. My own unit had a major catastrophic failure of the sort that they tell you is the reason not to by cheapo DVD players (which is why I bought a fairly pricey one) but that might have jsut been this one. Might have. I thought the manufacturer's attitude, whcih was basically "tough if youdon't like the way it operates, and we had no responsibility to tell you in promo material that it wouldn't really work as a CD changer" was pretty irresponsible, but that's just me. I'm gonna unload it. Anybody want a used one,a fter i get it fixed? I've put all of 15-18 discs sthrough it.
