Toshiba SD-3980 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Because I'm bAd, I'm bAd...(+ The light at the end of the tunnel)
By now, I guess that you already read a several reviews about this product and learned that once you buy this product it's doomed to show that 'bAd' message as a final breath of death. <br />It happened to me too after ~4 months. <br />So do the math and just don't buy it. <br />BUT, for all of you who experienced exactly what I have and only after it died on you, you decided to check in Amazon, there's still hope! <br />I called Toshiba's customer service and they were very nice (really). After a short explanation of the problem, which of course they were aware of, they asked me to ship them the product with some details and a photo copy of my receipt and said that I'll get a new 2006 model instead within 7-10 days. <br />Although the 90 days of warranty have passed, that's exactly what happened. <br />I got today the SD-3990 DVD player - kind of the next incarnation of the bAd-old SD-3980.  <br />Well, so far it works...for how long? who knows? <br /> <br />So even if your warranty is out of date, I think it's worth the ~$15 of shipment to get a new DVD. <br />Try it...
