Toshiba SD-3960 DVD Player
Hmmmm....experts say this is a very good player.
I checked out Consumer Reports and Home Theater Hi Fi's DVD benchmark.  This player gets higher marks than most players and does so at less money.  Sure it may have quirks, but the image it displays is very good. <br /> <br />Perhaps some other reviewers didn't have it hooked up using the component (not composite) hook-ups?
