Toshiba SD4700 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Nice machine, works well...
Nice machine.  And DVD is a fun medium obviously.  I had to go to Radioshack and get a converter for my TV which is old and had a cable outlet only.  Once I did that, everything worked fine.  Because of DVD protection I couldn't hook this player through my VCR, or I could if I wanted to watch the brightness/contrast fluctuate widly and get a horrible headache.  Honest, I wasn't going to copy anything, I just wanted to watch DVD.<br />That problem solved, another minor one appeared.  Europe is in Region 2, and the US is in Region 1, and the upshot is there's no point in ordering DVD's from Europe because once again, as with VCR's, the two technologies do not match.  Apparently there are DVD players that can show both Region encodings, so if this is a real investment for you, you might want to take that into account.<br />I can't remember how much I payed for this because the price then as now was too low to display (?), but it's a nifty item, and I enjoy it very much.
