Toshiba SD1700 DVD Player
Good player....until it died
Thanks to a number of announced and then-new DVD releases, 2001 was the year that I made my decision to invest in a DVD player, with the proverbial Christmas wad of dough. Doing research, I decided to buy either this model or a Panasonic (as they were the best choices available at my place of employment). When the time came, this was the only one of my choices in stock, and it worked wonderfully, as I purchased (and played) *a lot* of discs for it.<br />Problem is, the power supply died one night (about a month after the warranty expired, and mere days before a number of shows I like were to be released on DVD), much like what's happened to a number of other reviews. Apparently, this model's power supply is universally defective, a shame given the general high quality of the Toshiba name.
