Toshiba SD3755 Progressive-Scan 5-Disc DVD Player
My First DVD Player
Overall, an excellent purchase and an excellent value. I began shopping for a DVD player when my old 5-disk CD player died.  I comparison shopped for a DVD player that offered some of the more advanced features including progressive video (even though my TV is not compatible with this feature).  I also liked the capability of this player to play DVD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3 -- all of which have functioned very well (I have not tested the MP3 player).  This unit has just about every feature higher priced units have with the exception of HDTV capability and dolby decoder (which your amplifier is probably capable of decoding) and without the higher price. The DVD player was crystal clear and the playback/FF/FR/Zoom functions were fairly simple.<br />CONS: <BR>1)the component only comes in a gun-metal silver color: <BR>2)To visualize some of the actions taken by pressing function keys on the unit , you must also have your TV monitor turned on -- even for simple playback of audio CDs (for example, to play 5 audio CDs randomly you maust have the TV on to be certain you pushed the random button the appropriate number of times)<BR>3)I am an inpatient person, and some of the functions (open/close) appear to engage slowly<br />Admittedly my cons are miniscule compared to the overall capablity and performance of this unit. Therefore, if you do not mind the color, I fully recommend this unit.
