Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Great First Player
This is a great first DVD player.  It took me about 5 minutes to setup and I was watching Gladiator.  Terrific picture and sound.  Other reviews complained about the remote, but I think it is just fine.  It did momentarily pause though on Gladiator in one spot, maybe 1/2 second.  Nothing big though and was flawless through Braveheart.  Toshiba is very quickly becoming my favorite brand, especially for the price!
