Summary: Toshiba SD-2800 Blues (and Reds)
Review: We bought a Toshiba because the Toshiba VCR (M674) has been working like a champ. The SD-2800 worked fine for a number of months, but then output red-ish the bluish videos and then finally bit the dust. This after less then 6 months of very light use. I wouldn't recommend this particular product, although my other Toshiba products have held up well.

Summary: Simple and easy
Review: We bought this DVD player about 6 months ago...so happy with it we're making sure to buy the same one as a gift. It's simple to hook up and understand, and very easy to use. One feature that we LOVE and that not all DVD players have, is that if we shut the DVD player off, it automatically restarts at the same spot we left off. My son's DVD player (another brand) does not do this...it's very inconvenient to have to remember where you were and fast forward to that spot if you don't watch a movie all the way through.

Summary: A Big Mistake!
Review: We bought this unit a little over a year ago and only used on very infrequent occaisions. I estimate that we used it to play about 3 or 4 DVDs during this time. Anyway, last week, we began getting intermitment video pictures that were violet and green tinted rather than full color. This happened using a variety of DVDs. Then, the picture would "freeze" and not respond to any remote or direct commands other than cutting the power. The trouble shooting instructions in the manual did not cover any remedy for this condition. We can only add this warning to the other bad reviews and caution buyers to buy alternative manufacturers of DVD players.

Summary: Maybe its just me
Review: When I first bought the dvd machine for my son as a X-mas Present, it did not work the day we bought it. His new Janet Jackson DVD got stuck in the machine, so we had to take it back and ask them to please send us back the Janet DVD (which they never did by the way, so I ended up buying another dvd). Once they sent me another machine, at frist it worked well. Although at times it would freeze, and jump. Then about 4 monnths later, it froze, but it could not be shut off. My son removed the plug and now it will not shut back on, so his Poetic Justice dvd (staring Janet Jackson "He's her biggest fan!) is stuck inside the machine. I had it up to my neck with this machine, so I am just going to buy him a more expensive machine, one worth the money. It might just be me, but if you do not want to be in my shoes DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Summary: Big Bang For The Buck!
Review: When you compare the features of the SD2800 to any other DVD player in this price range, you just can't beat it. With all of it's connection options, 4X zoom, full-function remote, format capabilities, and so many other great features, the Toshiba SD2800 is definitely an excellent value!

Summary: Worthless warranty
Review: While it worked the SD2800 was fine, but after less than a year it broke down. Images freeze and no sound. Of course, Toshiba does not warrant labor after the first 90 days or so, and the labor to fix it plus the cost of shipping the thing back and forth adds up to more than what you would spend on a new one. I didn't give the machine much of a workout either, only playing a movie two or three times a month. Buy something else.
