Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Player
A fine videophile and audiophlie acheivement
As the third generation of DVD players come to themarket,Toshiba, (one of the companies that took part in itsdevelopement) has created a winner. Let me state that this player has features and performance specs that 2 years ago would make it a high end product. To get the most out of this DVD player you should have a mid,or high end home theater reciever, good speakers and component outputs on your viewing monitor. Though this player will look good using any of its video outputs, its high end features should be utilized to get the most out of it. Using the component outputs,this player passed all test specs that are featured on either, Video Esstiantials test DVD, or Avias test DVD. In short....OUTSTANDING video reproduction. Also I have to point out that the high quality DAC's used for audio reproduction compare to a top end CD only player. Even if you dont have many HDCD's this units DACS will certainly sound more open, sweet and less harsh then other players in and above its price range. However,if your a audio-videophile with a good to better home theater set-up, you will appreciate all of this players positives, overlooking the few,(and I mean few)negatives...NOTE..I had NO problems playing any of my 125 DVD's with this player,and the remote is perfectly adequate.
