Toshiba SD-3800 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
My first DVD player; great so far; sound is very low
After countless review reading for DVD players, I was set on either a Panasonic or Toshiba NON-PROGRESSIVE SCAN DVD player as my first.  ...  Luckily, I had a chance to buy this one WITH PRGRESSIVE SCAN..., so I grabbed it.<br />After pummeling the DVD player in its first 1-2 weeks of ownership with about 20 hours straight of Stargate SG-1 DVD collection viewing and rental movies, I can safely say that it's a great buy.<br />The menus are easy to use for setup, and the unit features nice zoom and image capture features, if you need that stuff.  The documentation for some of the features could be a little better, as I couldn't find the section on storing bookmarks or memorized DVD chapters for viewing later.  That may be something that I'll find on my laptop DVD player and software rather than a standalone unit.<br />Finally, the sound, through my piddly RCA-jack-only TV is VERY LOW.  I have to turn the TV up about 5 extra notches to hear the dialogue on movies.  There is a dialogue enhancement mode for sound, however, that helps with the quietest rentals that I've enjoyed.<br />Bottom line -- a great DVD player, if you can get it at a [good] price.  Too bad it doesn't come in black.
