Toshiba SD-3990 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Piece of junk
I decided to pick up this little POJ for the local big-box because it was on sale and I am impulsive. AND the local stereo joint recommended it...I should have known. <br /> <br />The reviews about the manual are absolutely correct. You can't just turn it on and go. You have to plug in the RCA jack first, so you can see the Setup menus...then set the player to something other than composite. After moving my tv in and out of it's cabinet and working in tight spaces to get my cords hooked up for the third time, we have picture! However, since my player does double duty as a CD player, I tested that as well. Big problem here...the player STOPS after each track. Now this might not be a problem if every artist wrote songs that were 3min. 30secs...however some artists write songs that seemlessly blend into one another (track one becomes track two becomes track three) and you don't even know it. This player paused, between each track. I unhooked it immediately. My very first CD player back in 1987 handled this little bit of \\"given\\" without even blinking. What was Toshiba thinking?!  <br /> <br />And the tray? Flimsy as a piece of paper board. Doomed to last 6 months, if that. <br /> <br />On the plus side, and the reason for the single star... Great picture.
