Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Disappointed Texan
I read the reviews and bought this Toshiba SD-1600 DVD player rather than Sony. I am disappointed and would return it if I still could. I can hear the motor during silent parts of the movies, and the zoom is not very advanced compared to newer models from other manufacturers. Also, this player doesn't seem to handle transitions of layers very well. There is always a very noticeable pause. I also had problems watching 'For Love of the Game' (no scratches) as the player just stalled on one scene toward the end and would not advance no matter what I did. I ended up having to restart the movie, and watch it from the next scene onward. I haven't tried 'The Matrix' yet, but understand that it gives DVD players a good workout. Thinking about the Toshiba SD-1600? Think again and buy the Sony or another maker.
