Toshiba SD-4960 Universal Disc DVD Player with CD/DVD-Audio/SACD/MP3 Playback
SD-4960
The Toshiba SD-4960 is a slim design but delivers big on sound.<br />I threw everything at it I could ... CD-R's, CD-RW's, MP3's, DVD-Audio and SACD's. All performed without a hitch and with great sound.<br />I had a Toshiba SD-4800 previous to this but it wouldn't play SACD's so I thought I'd make the upgrade.<br />I prefer DVD-Audio because it gives the visuals of lyrics, photo gallery, etc.. but I am happy with the SACD's I've purchased and have listened to. (sound wise that is).<br />It is missing the PRO-Logic feature offered on the SD-4800 for playing regular CD's on the system in Dolby PRO-Logic and I miss that feature.<br />The remote is a little tough to get to know without reading the book thoroughly.<br />You can't just rely on common sense as you can with most.<br />Figured it out after the book and seems to be stable but not that intuitive.<br />The \\"Bass Management\\" is nothing more than adjusting your speaker sizes in the audio portion of the menu. They had that on the SD-4800 and never advertised it so I guess it's just a gimmick of sorts.<br />Overall this unit gets four out of five stars for me.<br />With the reasonable price and an on board Dolby Digital Decoder it helped me out a lot. (My receiver isn't a Dolby Digital but has the 5:1 analog connectors for surround sound).<br />Buy it, you'll like it.
