Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Great player for a great price!
Our first DVD player, we decided to keep it simple and go with a lesser expensive 'starter' model. Considering that I got a great deal on my Toshiba set with which I've been very happy, we went with this low-end Toshiba model. Set-up was a bit confusing since the manual does not indicate which order multiple components (VCR, stereo, cable box) should be connected. Additionally, if you don't have component video inputs and only 1 audio input on your TV, you'll need additional cables or adapters not included (or jury-rig it which may effect video/sound quality). If you don't have component video inputs on your TV, the ColorStream technology of this player is useless to you. Also, watching wide-screen formatted DVDs on a 19&quot; TV stinks. If you don't have a DVD yet and you've only got a 19&quot; set with composite inputs, consider the cost of buying a new 27&quot; (at least) with component video inputs - at least another $300. All this aside, the picture is much more crisp and colorful. No doubt a home theatre system would truly enhance the sound capabilities of DVD. But with that kind of money, I would have splurged on a player with a backlit remote control!
