Toshiba SD-3205 5-Disc DVD Player
A great first DVD Player
I just recieved this player in three days ago from a ebay auction and im  completely spoiled! I have already watched 10 movies and im hooked! I have  done a lot of research before buying and im glad that I picked this unit.  It is my first DVD player and I couldnt be more satisfied. Its easy to use  and a cinch to hook up. The component outputs makes a GIANT difference over  the S-Video! I dont have any digital audio gear so I couldnt tell you the  difference on that part but the video playback is flawless. The remote  control is also very nice and intuitive. A bit on the large size for my  hands but no problems. Audio CDs really do sound better as well. Im not  sure how it can improve them but it does have a brighter more open sound to  them than on my all Pioneer set up. Which BTW, the Toshiba blends in nicely  with the other gear. The construction is very sturdy with no sign of  cheapness. If you are planning on buying a first DVD player, go the extra  mile and buy a 5 or 6 disc changer and if you want a no brainer buy, go  with Toshiba.
