Summary: Two's a Charm
Review: I had several problems with the first one we ordered, primarily related to "pausing" in the middle of the film and digital breakup (little squares all over the screen." We returned it and got another one. We have had the replacement for many months now and haven't had a single problem. This is our second Toshiba. We had no problems with our first.

Summary: Excellent quality for a good price!
Review: I have owned the SD-1600, SD-2700, SD-2710 and when I was looking for another one, the SD-2800 was first on my list. The ColorStream component output makes your component capable TV look amazing. I would suggest calibrating your TV using the Enhanced Black level setting that this unit (and all of the above) offer. I tried Samsung, Sony, Phillips and I selected and will continue to select Toshiba. The features and picture quality outstripped units that cost far more! It is a true value for the money. The only real difference in this model compared to the previous ones is the controls built into the front panel that allow you to do everything without the remote if you need to. I have loved all of the Toshiba units I have had. I think you will too!

Summary: Died after 10 months of use
Review: I just wanted to add my story to the ten or so other similar ones. After 10 months of use of about 1 dvd per week, the machine will no longer power on. Even worse, I have no idea how I will get the RENTED dvd out of the thing! Way to go Toshiba!
This seems like it might be a decent candidate for class action...

Summary: Toshiba SD 2800 Do not buy this player
Review: I was using this player less than one year, and it stopped reading the disks. All it said was disk error on the display. I am having the same problem as everyone else who has had the player over a year. If you plan on getting a new one after only a year, this is a great player for you, otherwise do not by this player. Even though it is made by toshiba it is not a player that will last. Do not buy!!!!!!

Summary: Disk error from day one
Review: Right out of the box, the DVD player returned a 'disk error' message as a result of the loading operation. Returned it to a Toshiba service center. Still waiting for its return... I never expected to get faulty equipment right out of the box from a name brand such as Toshiba. Quite disappointing.

Summary: Broke after <1 year
Review: Same story as everyone else.
It worked for roughly one year, started acting flaky, then one day the menus are all scrambled, won't recognize discs, if I adjust any settings it locks up to the point where the power button won't work.
Cost of fixing is prohibitive.
Frustrating....

Summary: Nothing bad to report
Review: The guy who wrote the review for the SD2700 below should be disregarded. This is a great player. Simple design, plays almost everything (no DVD-Recordable compatability). Picture quality is second to none. I have watched carefully and have not yet found any pixelation in any movies. The PLUGE black-level setting is a VERY NICE feature: takes a DVD that would look washed-out on another player and makes it vibrant and brilliant. Sound quality with a 192Khz audio DAC is fantastic: it plays DVDs, CDs, and MP3s at HIGH volume levels though my receiver with no noticeable distortion. This is an inexpensive but masterfully made DVD player.

Summary: Great picture, sound and value
Review: The SD2800 was bought to replace a stolen sd1700, which was the model of choice last Xmas. I had both hooked up via the component outputs to a 27inch TV and a regular hifi.As with the SD1700, it provides great picture and sound. My TV is not set for progressive scan and I don't know if I'd see/enjoy any improvement. Essentially this player is great and a bargain. I don't see any reason to buy a player more expensive than the current basic toshiba model

Summary: Basic DVD
Review: The Toshiba SD-2800 is a great, basic DVD player for the person not interested in spending a lot of money but still wants some of the features of those glorifed players. This DVD player is very simple to set-up and use and has all of the necessary audio and video connections to hook up to any type of television and/or stereo equipment. The remote control is well laid out and won't take most users long to be able to use it in the dark. This is my first DVD player and so far I am enjoying it tremendously. I believe that I got a very good deal on this player and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy.
