Toshiba SD-3205 5-Disc DVD Player
This is one great player!
I bought this player last year and it really is fantastic! I was skeptical about the hype regarding DVD vs. VHS picture quality until I watched the first DVD. An extraordinary &quot;home theater&quot; system is not required to get great viewing/sound quality. My 35&quot; TV is 8 years old and I have a &quot;pre-digital Dolby&quot; Bose Lifestyle 25 for audio. Both are more than adequate. I will ding Toshiba for the hard-to-see disk position numbers; I can't figure out why they are there anyway. When you load a single DVD/CD in the tray and close it the monitor displays the disk position number. With multiple media, the last DVD/CD loaded is the first in the play queue and you can change that using the disk skip button. Some people have complained about not being able to &quot;remove&quot; media from the player. I don't know if this is a feature or a flaw. During playpack the media is lifted/loaded from the tray into the reader. If you hit the open/close button while a title is in &quot;play&quot; mode the active title is still loaded in the reader. To actually retrieve your DVD/CD you have to press the stop button prior to opening the tray. (Maybe this is just a function of multi-players.) It's a coin-toss; a line or two in the documentation would have been enough to satisfy me.<br />So the pro-list is: great picture and sound, easy set-up, good documentation (re-read it after a few weeks), excellent remote, quiet playback, terrific price.<br />And the con-tally: disk numbering and removal (sort-of).<br />It's 5-stars in my book.
