Toshiba SD3755 Progressive-Scan 5-Disc DVD Player
The Actual Specs For The SD3755
I just bought this player and I thought it would be a good idea to list the actual specs at the end of this review. It was very difficult to track down any specs at all for the SD3755.  The ones I did find were not all correct.<br />Now for the review:<BR>I think this player is well worth the money for all the features you get.  It had almost everything I was looking for.  However, one major feature it did lack, was HDCD support.<BR>All the DVDs, CDs, and MP3 CD-Rs I have played so far, have worked fine.<br />As far as the MP3 support goes, it's ok.  I was worried that it wouldn't play MP3 CD-Rs that had the files placed into sub-directories.  But it actually scans the entire CD-R &amp;<BR>caches all of the MP3 files alphabetically so you can view them onscreen.  The bad part about that is that you see them in a single list as opposed to having them organized.  (So yes, it does read MP3s that are placed in multiple directories / sub-directories on a CD-R)<br />Here are some of the other features / issues I have found when using the MP3 capabilities:<br />MP3 Pros:<BR>- you can program what songs to play (up to 60 tracks)<br />- you can repeat the programmed list, a single track, or the entire mp3 CD-R (containing 100s of songs)<br />MP3 Cons:<BR>- no random or shuffle feature (why this is the case, I have no idea.  Those features are allowed for normal audio CDs)<BR>- can't program lists across mp3 CD-Rs (again, this is a feature for audio CDs)<BR>- does not continue to the next mp3 CD-R after the current one is finished playing (again, this feature works for audio CDs)<BR>- only the first 8 characters of the filename are displayed in the onscreen menu (which can be very annoying trying to figure out what song to play).<br />Overall, I love the player and think it's well worth the price. With the exception of HDCD support, it has all of the features found in much more expensive DVD players.  <BR>For example, it had all the features that another player I was lookinginto had (the Harman Kardon DVD 50) for half the price.<br />Toshiba SD3755 Specs:<BR>- Silver case (as far as I know, it does not come in Black) <BR>- 5 disc carousel.
