Summary: Buying one for myself, now
Review: I've had the Toshiba SD2200 for several months now. I have been pleased with it's overall performance. The sound and picture are great and the features are numerous for this price player, however there are some minor glitchs. It's had a stutter twice in the last month and it does not play multi-level discs. So if you do purchase one make sure the movies you purchase/rent are not multi-level discs or it will not work.

Summary: can't play CD-R's
Review: If you are using this machine primarily as a DVD player it is quite user friendly, however it does not have the capablity to play CD-r's or CD-RW's, either PC or music format. It' HDCD decoding, however, is a rare asset.

Summary: Everything you could need in a DVD player
Review: Let me begin by saying that I have been wanting and shopping for a DVD player for about a year and after literally going through and researching about 12 different players I decided on the Toshiba SD2200. I decided right. The SD2200 provides wonerful sound whether connected to a surround sound system or just connected to a standard two speaker system with it's simulated 3d surround you are truly immersed into the movie. Image quality is phenominal coming from a VHS watcher and music CD's are crisp and clear. My reccomendation for anyone who may be looking for a CD player for their home system and also considering a DVD player - the Toshiba SD2200 will do both for you and do it well!

Summary: Excellent Player
Review: Since I already reviewed this excellent component some weeks ago, I will be concise.

To the reviewer below who writes about the "shortcut" to switching discs, Toshiba added a button on the top right portion of the remote that controls this function. It is labled Disc Select, and does just what it is supposed to do.

As for the reviewers who point out the lack of an eject button, I don't find this to be a problem, since until they invent a mechanical arm that will open the empty DVD case, slip the ejected DVD into it, and open the next case and insert a new DVD...you get the idea!

Summary: Great DVD player, no CD-R support.
Review: The DVD player itself is great, the picture is excellent, sound is great, supports HDCD (I don't own a single one of them but it's a feature). The downside for me is I have a lot of burned CD mixes from my CD collection and this player won't play any of them. It absolutely does NOT support any compact disc made from CD-R blank media. It's my own fault for not doing my research. I was hoping to replace my regular CD-changer with this player, no such luck. I have to hook up my old 5 disc changer to play burned CD's.

Summary: Great DVD Player
Review: The SD-2200 is a great DVD player in many ways. It excels in sound, video, and features.

First of all, you have sound options. If you have a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver, you can use the optical output OR coax digital output to connect to your receiver. If you don't have such a receiver, the SD-2200 has a built-in decoder so you can connect 6-channel analog outputs to your receiver.

The SD-2200 also has all of the popular video options. You can choose from composite video, s-video, or component video. I use the component video with my Toshiba 27V51 TV and the picture quality is great! I have also seen the SD-2200 hooked up with s-video for great quality as well.

In terms of features, the SD-2200 is loaded. First of all, it has 2 disc trays, so you can swap one disk out while playing the other one. I find this feature especially helpful so I can keep one audio CD in one drive and a DVD in the other. The SD-2200 also has 3 levels of zoom, great pause and frame advance controls, and a great, easy to use "joystick-style" remote.

The SD-2200 has worked very well for me for 9 months now. I'm confident it will keep me satisfied for years to come!
