Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Video Player
After reading reviews by customers, I purchased this product in September 2000.  Shortly after I had it, it would play intermittently.  I thought that the problems were the rentals from Blockbuster and I would take them back and get other ones which seem to work.  One day in January 2001, it wouldn't play at all.  It would still play CDs, but not the DVDs.  After  frustrating efforts of exchanging DVDs at Blockbuster's, I finally took it in to a authorized Toshiba service repair.  They looked at the unit and said that it needed a new head!  I had played less than 10 DVDs through it.  Since it was passed the 90 warranty period, I had to pay for service, but the part would be free from Toshiba.   Approximately 4 weeks later, I got the unit back and played a DVD; it worked fine.  I was very disappointed that the unit would so quickly require repair.  I think it is a good quality, but buyers should look closely at the warranty period and if there is a hint of a problem they should immediately take it to an authorized Toshiba service station.
