Rating: Summary: Great for the Price Review: The Toshiba SD-1200 is the best entry-level DVD player I'veseen. There are absolutely no problems with dual-layer discs... It'sDolby Digital, DTS & component colorstream ready, and has all the features you need to get started (3x zoom, camera angles, various screen sizes (standard, standard letterbox, and 16:9 widescreen )...
Rating: Summary: Excellent for the money! Review: Very solid performance from a quality player.... This player works very well - quiet drive mechanism, rock-sold pause and zoom, and I love the screen-darkening to make movies look less gray-ish if you choose. I have this hooked up via s-video and I am very happy with the picture. Yes, the remote is made for people with toothpicks for fingers but I can live with it. You really cannot get more bang for your buck. Get this one - the choice is clear.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Player for the price! Review: I've been contemplating a home theater DVD player for a while. I've seen them all. The ONLY one I can say that is the best with the most features for the price is this one. The Toshiba SD1200. The zoom feature is cool if you don't like the "wide-screen" version and it's compatable with most TV's and Receivers. No need to get rid of VCR or Playstation, just connect to receiver, and connect receiver to TV. Great sound this way too. There are better one's out there of you really want to pay $600.00 or more. This one is better that just about all of the $450.00 DVD players and under.
Rating: Summary: This machine is amazing! Review: What can I say? This machine is fantastic. From the picture quality to the color schemes to the amazing sound, this is the machine to beat in terms of price and features. Forget about Sony or Panasonic. Save your money and buy the Toshiba SD1200. I did, and have not regretted it. If I had the money and the televisions, I'd buy 10 more of these!
Rating: Summary: You can't go wrong with this player! Review: I bought this player about two weeks ago and I am very impressed. Priced as an entry level DVD player this player has all the features anyone should need. I have mine hooked up to a Toshiba T50Z51 50-inch projection television with the component video inputs and the picture quality is impressive. An optical audio output should have been included on this player but the digital coaxial output works fine. (make sure your receiver is compatible)The three stage fast forward and reverse will make finding your favorite part in any movie a breeze and the zoom feature will allow you to examine fine details up close. As others have complained, larger buttons on the remote would have been nice but the compact size is welcome for some who have 4 or more remote controls for their home theater setup. I would recommend this DVD player to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Toshiba SD1200 DVD Player Review: I've searched this product for a couple of weeks and compared it toseveral other brands. It looks like the best three models are ToshibaSD1200, Sony DVPS330, and Pioneer DV525. However the best value is the Toshiba SD1200. A great review site I used was audioreview where I read hundreds of reviews on several products. To see reviews on the Toshiba SD1200 go to the Toshiba SD2109 which is the old version of the product from last year.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Product, Excellent Price Review: This DVD player is fantastic. The picture quality is sharp and impressive compared to other DVD players I have seen. The picture quality coupled with fantastic zoom, angle and slow motion feature made this purchase even better. The ease of use of this product is also terrific. The set up program is small and easily walked through. The remote control is well thought out and is so easy to operate you almost do not need the manual. The unit itself is light weight and sleek looking. It has S-video capabilities and easily fits into any home entertainment system. The crisp clear audio is also an added benefit. This is the most affordable unit I have seen and the quality is on par with DVD players three times its price.
Rating: Summary: Best Entry level DVD player Review: This thing has a noticebly better picture than my sony digital satellite sytem, even when using composite cables. The refresh rate is great. The black level expansion does wonders for some movies that have too much brightness. It makes them seem more cinematic. But for dark movies, the blacks will blend with dark blues. I don't know how I could live without the zoom feature. It allows you to convert any widescreen movie to 4:3. All I can say is that the picture will amaze you. My dad could even tell a huge difference and he was all the way across the room. Sound: The sound is crisp, clear, and explosive. I haven't hooked up the player to a surround system yet. The N-2-2 spatializer didn't have much affect on my TV's stereo speakers. But anyways, this thing sounds just as crisp and clear as the movie theater. Other comments: The remote is not logical. The play buttons are on the very bottom of the remote, which is uncomfortable. The remote also has a somewhat weak signal. You have to point it at least a few feet from the sensor. But the remote works and I don't think anyone buying a $250 DVD player can be picky about a remote. It gets the job done fine. The unit is lightweight physically, but its performance is reliable and solid. I have had no problems playing any discs. There is no optical digital output for Dolby Digital, but the coax digital output is supposed to be better. I've heard that the component video output is awesome, but I've personally never used it. The drive does make some noise when going from menu to menu, but its not very loud when playing a movie. You can completely turn off the digital display panel, but the red power button stays on. This is still cool. The instruction book is easy to use. Check for cheap prices online THIS HIGH QUALITY UNIT IS MADE IN JAPAN. Don't buy cheap, inferior players.
Rating: Summary: Excellent DVD Player Review: The SD-1200 replaced a Toshiba SD-2107 2nd generation player and there is a definite improvement in picture quality. Colors are more vivid and picture clarity particularly in dark scenes, is outstanding. Truly a remarkable DVD player. Toshiba has done it again.
Rating: Summary: Stop looking, great find for the money. Review: The only way you will get a better DVD player is by paying double. I just bought this and the 36" Toshiba CZ36V61. They work great. This entry level DVD has options that my friends do not have on their Sony or Panasonic. Minor thing I do not like is the beep when you press any button on the remote, you can turn this off in the menu. For this price, you get component connections (buy some component cables), zoom and great hardware/software package.
