Summary: sd3750
Review: Had for 1 year. Plays DVD-R's and DVD-v's perfectly. mp3 sound quality does not come anywhere near my awe64 gold sound card. I dont recommend this if mp3's are important to you. Otherwise its been a great player

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Looking forward to getting this DVD Player!
Review: Hey guys, why are you ragging about a DVD player that isn't even out yet? You are supposed to be rating the player on this page. Your poor reviews for another DVD player has given this one a low rating. Next time rag somewhere else! I ordered this player based on Toshiba's reputation and all the state of the art features it offers. I'm very optimistic that it will be the right DVD player for me.

Summary: One of the Long awaited DVD player
Review: I agree with the other 2 reviewers, Toshiba has announced this new product line of Progressive Scan players way back in June this year, BUT is yet to ship out ANY except the SD3755. I'm personally waiting for the SD4700 BUT am getting tempted to get the SD3750 instead as it has ALL the features of the SD4700 minus the In-built Dolby Decoder & a less advanced remote :-) In fact all these players r in their catalog but their website is a mess as is their production of these players. Most of the e-tailors who r to carry the SD4700 r expecting it by mid this month, whereas Toshiba cust srvc was of the opinion that it should've shipped last week. Bottom line nobody has any clues, strangely enough Amazon is the only one to carry the SD3750!!

Summary: Amazed!
Review: I bought this as a single disc for bedroom...when I realized that it would work in tandem with my Toshiba HDTV widescreen I moved my Panasonic 5-disc into the bedroom. I was amazed at the improvement. Using the colorstream component outs...it made the image appear 10x better than with my non-progressive scan. A remarkable buy...one drawback...the sales clerk didn't alert me to the 5-disc Tosh Progressive Scan...grrrrrrrrr!

Summary: BUYER BEWARE
Review: I bought this Toshiba DVD Player (3750) seven months ago and now it will not turn on. Of course this is conveniant for Toshiba since it has a 3-month labor warranty and 1-year parts warranty. The local authorized repair shop says labor will cost ... (adds up to the cost of a new dvd-player). So this TOSHIBA dvd player will be going straight to the TRASH and I hope to find a different brand dvd player with a longer warranty.
Until then I will suffer with my VCR.

P.S. This dvd player had a great picture and sound until it broke.

Summary: 4.5 out of 5; Awesome 480p output, chroma bug
Review: I didn't buy this DVD player to listen to MP3s or CDs, I bought it strictly to watch DVDs in 480p with Dolby Digital 5.1. For the price, this is an excellent progressive-scan DVD player. However, it does have the chroma bug, which most people won't even notice.

The unit has composite, S-Video, and Y/Cr/Cb component outputs. You need component video to display in progressive scan, as well as a TV that outputs in 480p, such as an HDTV. Truthfully, progressive scan makes very little difference on a standard 480i (interlaced) TV.

Audio outputs are composite, optical, and digital coax (bitstream). The latter two are required for Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS.

I am not overly concerned with features or the remote; if it works, I'm happy. Notably on the remote control, there is a button that allows the user to toggle between interlaced and progressive scan to check the difference. In some cases, interlaced looks better on older source material, since seeing interlaced source material doubled to progressive often shows you all the junk that was previously hidden.

The A/V quality is top-notch, with 54 Mhz video decoding and 192 Khz audio decoding. The player itself is relatively artifact-free.

Overall, this is an excellent player, especially considering I got it new ... on sale. However, for best-in-class single disc progressive scan, 54 Mhz/192 Khz, the Panasonic RP-82 appears to be the DVD player of choice.

Summary: Pound for pound, will beat out just about any DVD player.
Review: I don't claim that this player is a top-of-the-line MP3 player. It contains that function to benefit the consumer, but for its primary function of playing DVD's, it absolutely rocks.

I own a corresponding flatscreen Toshiba TV, thus utilizing the component inputs. In addition, I use a digital optical cable connected directly into my a/v receiver. The video quality is as crisp and clear as any I've seen on a midrange player. The audio quality in DTS or DD mode is superb given that you own a fair home theatre system. Even, if you do not own a high end TV or home theatre system, this DVD player will improve the experience substantially, but it will not be fully utilized. If you can afford it, I highly recommend buying at least a flatscreen TV with component inputs. I've observed the difference between an RCA cable, S-video cable, and component cables and the difference is startling! Using an RCA cable is a disservice. If you do not have at least an S-video input, you won't realize the true worth of this machine.

The remote is not user friendly or the most functional remote out there, but Toshiba normally does not make good remotes. If you buy Toshiba products, you just have to put up with it. I was close to buying the top of the line Toshiba DVD (SD-9200), but backed out last minute, though it is one of the top DVD players out there, due to the huge price difference. For the price, $..., depending on where you buy it, the Toshiba SD-3750 is difficult if not impossible to beat, especially given its progressive capabilities.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lots of Problems - Avoid
Review: I had high hopes for this unit given what we paid for it, but have had MANY problems. About half the DVDs we have played in it have had serious sound problems, as if you were turning the volume up and down randomly. It makes many movies unwatchable. Plus, you get plenty of picture freezes. Most cdr/mp3s that we have tried in it also had serious audio problems, lots of pops and the like. These cdr/mp3s play fine on other players.

I've had lots of problems with other Toshiba products lately, so my advice would be to avoid them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Toshiba: ignorant and slow
Review: I have to agree with the other reviewer. This supposedly forthcoming model isn't even listed on the Toshiba Web site. Furthermore, the SD 4700 JUST APPEARED. This model was announced almost a year ago, and still isn't available. First it was due in June, then July, and I still challenge you to find a dealer that actually has it.

It's too bad that Toshiba is failing so pitifully in bringing these seemingly good products to market. These players do supposedly have the essential features: CD-R playback, progressive scan, DVD-Audio, and all the necessary outputs. And the prices are good. But that's irrelevant when you can't buy the products.
