Rating: Summary: Long time owner Review: I don't know much about electronics, but I bought this machine over a year ago and it works great. I bought a television with component video on a friend's recommendation (he does know something about electronics) and the picture is UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL :-) I do know a lot about movies and I LOVE watching letterboxed DVDs on this machine.I gave it 4 stars because I mean, it's only a DVD player. I don't know what it would have to do to get a fifth star, but it's a ... good machine and that this price, ridiculously cheap. Why waste hundreds of dollars when this perfectly fine machine is only 80 (it was 120 when I bought it). I'm buying my sister one for Christmas
Rating: Summary: Good for some, not for others Review: I've had this player for the better part of a year. Pros: Good picture quality Great fast forward speed Some nice features Decent price Cons: Will not play anything on recorded media DVD +-R or +-RW Will not play VCD or SVCD's Overall, I loved the basic features of this player, but had to retire it as I was recording movies from a mini DV camera and could not get them to play at all. Toshiba says that there is no fix for this and that you need to get a new player. If you do not care at all about media that you record yourself, this is an excellent player.
Rating: Summary: Excellent when it works... Review: I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift for Christmas 2000. Even though we are not the most technically minded people, setup and use have been a breeze! We've never had a problem with the DVD player. We recently bought a low-price home theatre system and were pleasantly surprised to find out that this DVD player not only plays CD's as advertised, but also some home-made CD-Rs, even though the packaging says it wouldn't. An excellent product, and an excellent price. I've recommended this to many friends!
Rating: Summary: no frills, no problems Review: With a bunch of online coupons, I managed to buy this player over a year ago. I don't think you'll find a better deal. This thing simply gets the job done. Setup is super easy, and I've never had any picture problems whatsoever. I feel bad for all everyone who has to sit through glitchy picture problems. (like my sister who has a much more expensive Sony that I bought for her before I did the research)
