Toshiba SD2805 5-Disc Carousel DVD and CD Player
Defective out of the box...
Maybe this is a great value for $, but I have my doubts. I'll let you know when I get it out of the shop! The DVD player was defective out of the box and would not recognize any disk I placed in it, spinning up and eventually kicking open the tray with the display panel reading \\"Disk Error\\". I was directed to take the device into a service repair center (1/20/03). Three weeks later, the failed \\"pick up assembly\\" is on back order and not due to arrive for an additional 5 weeks. It gets better. The replacement part arrives but is found to be defective as well. Another one is ordered, received two weeks later and installed. But now another part is found to be defective (the \\"IC\\"), causing the player to only be able to read some discs. Again I wait. If all goes well. I'll have the player out of the shop by the first of April, 71 days after I took it in. <br />By the number of reviews which mention failed parts, it appears Toshiba has a quality control problem.<br />Recommendation: Don't buy this or any other Toshiba product! The DVD player itself is not the sole cause of my frustration!
