Toshiba SD-5970 DVD Player with HDMI
Real Lemon
I've tolerated this piece of junk for several months now.  Repeatly rejects perfectly good discs; freezes at the very worst times.  Just a poor excuse for a dvd player.<br /><br />Called Toshiba tech support today for assistance and resolution.  Toshiba rep recommended 'cleaning' the unit.  She refused to acknowledge that there are any bulletins or advisories issued on this model.  What a crock.  I suggested that she read the reviews on amazon.com.  Got nowhere with Toshiba but will continue to try.<br /><br />Net, net - don't buy this Toshiba dvd player or recorder.  It is poorly made and does not work.<br /><br />Update 23 Feb.<br />Phoned Toshiba Tech Support again today.  Got a different person and he agreed to send a replacement unit model 6980 or something if I would send this malfunctioning one back.  Did my part and will now await the replacement.  This is positive news.  Will keep you posted.<br /><br />Update 5 Mar.<br />Replacement SD-6980 arrived and it works fine, so far.  Good for Toshiba and good for me.
