Toshiba SD2700 DVD Player
have had none of the problems mentioned
I bought this DVD player one year ago and came back to this product page to buy another one as a gift.  I was shocked to see all the negative reviews about how it broke.  I have had no problems with it.  My only complaint is that when it plays audio CDs, the track number is not visable on the LCD display.  Instead, the track number is displayed on the TV screen.<br />But overall I'm very happy with it.  It has played every DVD and audio CD (including CDR) that I've tried.  I also like the functions, such as slow-mo and zoom.  I think it's a great DVD player.
