Summary: Your excuse to not buy a DVD Player has just gone bye bye!
Review: This is one of those wonderful exceptions where cheap simplicity equals perfection in a product. I say cheap because it's one of the most economically priced DVD players out there. Any excuse to put off buying a DVD player will go bye bye really fast when you see this player in action.

It is a fully featured player with top notch build quality. It has passed every test I've put it through so far (the Matrix was a walk in the park). I have yet to see a single compression particle during any movie. The picture quality is superb, the sound is perfect, and the interface is simple. The on screen controls as well as the remote are well laid out and easy to follow. And did I mention the price was CHEAP!

In conclusion, there is no reason for you not to buy this player. Don't waste your money on anything more expensive unless you need some obscure feature that some 900 dollar player offers and goes well with your 6000 dollar B&W speakers. The more expensive Sony players don't come near to this one. GO BUY IT!

Summary: don't listen to the picky folks
Review: This is a great DVD player! I was looking for a lower priced DVD player under or around $250, and this one is well worth the money I spent on it. I highly recommend it.

Also, don't listen to any of the complaints about this player, the people that are complaining are very very picky. I hardly even noticed the beep, and you can turn it off anyway. And the controller isn't too small. It's small, but is still very useable. Even with these two minor details, that's still not an excuse enough to not buy this great DVD player. If you're looking for a player under $300, this is a very good choice.

Summary: Worth waiting for!
Review: This DVD player is as good as the reviewers write about it. Ihave ordered another one for my 82 year old father after he saw the picture quality and the sound quality using Monster S video cable...it is worth the wait for a great DVD player at an affordable price.This unit was one of only a few players specifically mentioned by Consumer Reports magazine as a good buy.Enjoy!

Summary: Fabulous
Review: I definetly recommend you wait for this item to become back in stock, because it is absolutley amazing. The picture quality is astounding, the sound is even better! The only problem is the remote. It's buttons are way to small for human use, and they are placed very unconveiniently. But that's not why you buy a DVD player, is it; so that you can have a really good remote, then you have problems. So pretty much this is the best picture quality (especially on WWF DVD's) and sound you can get for anywhere near the price, so just wait for more of this product to come in, and you'll be in DVD heaven. Or check at Sears, that's where I got mine.

Summary: just buy it already!
Review: This is an awesome player for the price. It comes suprisingly light and it's qualities are wonderful. I've had no problems with it playing dvds, vcds, or music cds. The audio is great and crisp. All the other complaints from other reviews are really of no nuisance unless you're extremely picky.

As for the the player not skipping back tracks on music cds, from what i know, all cd players require to hit the back button twice on the remote to begin backtracking; no need pick on a dvd player for doing the same.

just buy the player already, if all these reviews aren't good enough to convince you, then what will!

Summary: Absolute best entry level player...
Review: For the price, this is the absolute best entry level unit on the market. Yeah, the remote could be a little better, but it gets the job done and is lightweight. The digital audio out is a feature not found on many players in this price rnage, and the choice of outputs (S-video, component, or composite) is a nice touch. I have not had any problems with any DVD's to date in the three weeks I've owned this machine. I have always had good luck with Toshiba products (my computer's DVD drive and my main VCR are Toshiba products). I highly recommend this player for anyone looking into a DVD player.

Summary: After looking at dozens of others, I chose the ToshibaSD1200
Review: I looked around for probably 3 months and 2 dozen different players and I chose the SD1200. It is a great mid range player with all the features.

I personally don't think the remote is as bad as many say and I don't have small hands at all. The button are on the smaller side, but no smaller than any other remote.

Also, for the person who said the skip backwards button doesn't work with Audio CDs, they do work. You have to press the button two times for the SD1200 to skip back to the previous song.

I'd definately recommend the Toshiba SD1200 to anyone looking for a great quality dvd player for good price!

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: If you are like me, you aren't going to buy a DVD player toplay games with zoom, freeze frame, etc. What I believe most consumersare looking for are a well built machine that delivers a high quality picture and audiophile sound.

The Toshiba delivers on sound and picture, but not on manufacturing quality.

For [the price range], maybe I shouldn't be so picky, but here are my gripes:

1. The tray is flimsy, wiggling up and down. 2. The machine weighs about 3-4 pounds. 3. There is a ticking sound while the disc is spinning that can be heard from my listening position 13 feet away. 4. The CD sound is better through the RCA outputs than the coaxial cable. 5. In order to return to a prior track, you have to double click the back arrow, and even then it's hit or miss. 6. On some occasions on DVD, when the movie starts, the audio is undiscernable. If the DVD is removed and then reinserted, this corrects the problem. This has been reported by others ...

Summary: A Great Deal: High Quality at an excellent price
Review: I recently purchased the Toshiba SD12000 DVD Player. I have been looking for a high quality DVD player. I researched a great deal and read all of the Amazon.com reviews before I made my final decision.

This DVD player is simple to set-up provided your television is fairly new and matches the color-coded wires. If not, you will need to purchase an RF adapter (a small unit about $30.00).

The picture is as clear as can be and surround sound in Dolby stereo will create your own personal home theater. I have not had one problem since my purchase.

I have played several movies I have ordered from Amazon.com and they play beautifully.

I highly recommend this product.

Summary: Top Quality Performance with an Ab Fab Price!
Review: Just a few days ago my friend bought a Pioneer DVD player for something around $350.00. I was so impressed by the DVD experience that I immediately decided that I would get one. But of course which one to choose? I had a smaller budget and I already have a Reciever with Dolby Sound. The Toshiba was the perfect match. Just minutes after I opened the box, the easy-to-read manual had the DVD experience right in my living room. For the price the Toshiba is the fastest, and most feature-filled DVD player. The remote control is small, but that is a good thing because I have limited coffe table room with the five other remotes I have for my other home audio/video equipment. Buy the Toshiba and you will be happily entered into the DVD Era.
