Toshiba SD-3950 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Toshiba is excellent w/DVD
I read the customer reviews   at Amazon.com for this unit.  It seems that heat has been a problem.  I bought it anyway because I had an SD1600 that played very well.  I am hearing impaired, and wanted the dialogue enhanced feature, so I bought it anyway and gave the old one to one of my children.  I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought an expandable towel rack.  It straddles my DVD player and raises the cable box about 5 inches above the DVD player.  It has performed flawlessly since Jan. 18, 2004.  The dialogue enhancement was worth it.  My son  made a DVD-R and brought it over.  Again, perfection. I have played almost everything on this unit.  No problems.  Just to keep everyone informed, I am still very happy as of March 3, 2004<BR>No April Fools Joke.  Still working great as of today.
