Summary: Great DVD player
Review: I bought this for my living room, sony 32 inch trinitron tv, and its great. it is awesome if you connect it to a surround sound system, i have a 5 speaker aiwa mini system that i bought at amazon for a great price. Since this is my only dvd player i own, i dont have any basis for comparison but i can tell you, even if you dont have the s-video connection, this dvd player gives u crisp and clear picture

Summary: Beeps galore
Review: Toshiba DVD's beep annoyingly when you open the tray, close the tray, use the remote, and even beep during the movies randomly acccordingly to several reviewers. So if you are annoyed by beeps do not buy this or any other Toshiba DVD player.

Summary: Zoom feature
Review: Recently purchased the 1200 and have been highly pleased with is features. It has a zoom feature that allows the user to compensate for "wide screen" effects. With 3 different magnification options, it allows for the user to adjust the picture enlargement to their preferred viewing size. The remote is also very well laid out and easy to use.

Summary: Thank you Amazon.com!
Review: My wife and I had finally decided to buy a DVD player, but we did not know where to start. We searched high and low on many DVD player reviews, but eventually made our way to Amazon.Com. Every site of course points to the best DVD players being in the $300 to $400 range, but we wanted to stay in the $200 to $300 range due to our budget. We were going to go with RCA because everything else we owned was RCA. But looking at the reviews, it seemed that there were way too may problems with their DVD players. We finally decided after looking thru Amazon's DVD player reviews to go with the Toshiba SD1200. Before we bought it we went down to the local electronics shop to see it and get a hands on perspective. The sleazy salesmen there were telling us that it was a very bad DVD player and we trying to get us to buy a $400 Pioneer DVD player that had all the fancy features and sound options. But we still went with the Toshiba DVD SD1200 and we are very happy with it. The Matrix plays in the DVD player just fine as with any other DVD's we have. The sound just jumps out at us even with our small home stereo system we have. This DVD player is great and has all types of features we never knew it really had. I have had no problems playing any type of DVD's and even rentals. Although I clean the rentals with a cleaner before I put them into the DVD player. The DVD player boasts a zoom feature that is pretty neat, but when you zoom the picture starts looking like a VHS picture, so it is not too effective. You don't have the optical outputs, but I have heard those come loose easily. You get S-Video, composite and traditional RCA out, although if you use the RCA out, what is the purpose of buying a DVD player? Use the Composite or S-Video, or you will be missing some of the big picture. Did I mention the sound was incredible? We have a small Sony Mini Stereo System and the sounds screams at us even through our outdated stereo hardware. I can only imagine with fear what the sound will be like when we upgrade to a Mini Home theater system, we will more than likely get kicked out of the apartment complex. One last thing, this DVD Player is the best first time buyer (that's me) I have found where you want to keep your within your budget.

Summary: Best DVD Player I've seen!
Review: I've owned several DVD players in my search for the perefectfit. Prices have ranged from 200 to 1000 dollars and I can confidentlysay, this is the best I have run across. This DVD features some of the coolest extras I have run across, The Zoom feature rules if you hate widescreen, and are willing to give up some screen space. The picture quality is beyond anything I have seen, and the sound is amazing! It also features a parental lock, that only works for certain DVDs, like Story of Us, but may be used in the future. It allows you to lock out some movies, and alter the rating of a R to a PG-13 audience, a nice addition . . . For the money you get the best DVD player you can buy. The picture is amazing, sound is beyond anything, and you will be happy for a long time into the future, plus having bragging rights over all your buddys.

Summary: Great Bargain
Review: When I bought my DSS system, I thought that there was nothing like it. When I first watched a DVD on the SD-1200, my first DVD player ever, I was blown away. The picture was crystal clear like at the stores and the sound was great even on my two speaker stereo system. Once you go DVD, you do not go back. The highest end VCR is nothing compared to the lowest end DVD player. When people were mad that George Lucas didn't release Star Wars on DVD, I didn't understand why. Now I do. With more and more movies being released on DVD, DVD is here to say. Get the entry level SD-1200 now at the low price, and when recordable DVD players come out, that's when you spend the money.

Summary: Best, by far, for the money. Not a flaw.
Review: I can't find a compelling reason to recommend a higher priced model than this one. Sound and picture as rich as can be. Remote features are excellent, allowing for more tricks than you'll use. Chose this after too many negative reviews of low price Sony models (I'm sure everything is fixed, but I wasn't going to take a chance over the holidays). Wasn't a Toshiba fan before this purchase (simple Sony prejudice) but now I'm willing to spend the big bucks on one of their large TV's. You'll enjoy this player and its price.

Summary: Superb! Superb! Superb!
Review: Very easy set-up. Incredible picture and sound. Lots of great features. The remote does have small buttons, but I am not having a problem with it. This is a great DVD player--especially if this is your first one. One of the best purchases I have made in a long time! Definitely worth it!
