Toshiba SD-1200 DVD Player
Excellent entry level player
I've had this player for a month, and this is an excellent machine considering the price. In fact, within its price range, I would rate it at 5 stars.<br />Pros: low price,  handles both Dolby Digital and DTS,  has both  component and S-video outputs, plays even &quot;difficult&quot; discs like  The Matrix without any problems, excellent audio and video quality.<br />Cons:   remote is not as intuitive as it could be, the only digital audio out is  coax (no optical output) so make sure your receiver can accommodate a coax  input (or willing to buy one that can), can't play CD-R discs, S-video and  coax digital cables not included, menu access only from remote.<br />For a DVD  player under $300, the SD1200 is unbeatable.
