Toshiba SD2805 5-Disc Carousel DVD and CD Player
Picture Freezes
I bought this DVD player in December of 2002 and it started freezing during playback about 2 months ago. I hardly used it for the first 6 months and then when our daughter was old enough to watch some of the videos we have, the player starts to freeze and then skip forward. It's very hard to watch the disappoinentment on your daughter's face as she is entrenched in an Elmo video when it freezes and she stares blankly at the screen and then me. I also agree that that the controls are agonizingly slow. Since this is my first DVD player, I didn't realize that until I saw other players. I was going to replace with a Sony, then I started reading some of Sony's reviews and they have similar problems with the playback freezing. Bottomline, don't spend more than $80 on a DVD player, because it will probably be dead shortly after the warranty expires.
