Toshiba SD-2200 DVD Player
Great Value, but no CD-R support!
I have found this player to be of great value for the price I paid. Nice features include the option for optical, digital, or 5.1 output, easy to use interface, and a dual-DVD/CD changer. The sound is crystal clear,  making the perfect complement to my Sony STR-DE835 receiver.      All the  extra features are great except for the fact that the remote is impossible  to read in the dark, and the SD-2200 will _NOT_ play CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM,  or other such recordable media. However, it will play all your normal CDs,  and even decodes the seldom used, but nice to hear, HDCD, or  High-Definition Compatible Digital format, which effectively doubles the  sampling rate of CDs (from 44kHz to 88kHz), for an incredibly clear CD  listening experience.      All in all, this player is a great choice for  sub-$400 DVD players.
