Toshiba SD-1200 DVD Player
Solid Performer - Great Buy
The other reviewers are correct, the buttons on the remote are pretty small.  I was concerned with this but it is a very minor problem.<br />On the plus side, after looking at several brands, Toshiba and Sony stood out.  I went with the Toshiba because it offers ZOOM capability in my price range.  Sometimes letter-box format is just plain annoying (I have &quot;The Matrix&quot; which is extremely wide and tiny even on a 32&quot; TV).  Toshiba fixes this little problem by allowing 4 zoom settings from normal wide-screen to 4:3 cropped that we are used to with normal videos.<br />I've had this unit since mid-June 2000 and it has performed flawlessly.  The picture quality is fantastic, the menus are easy to use and it has provided good value.  The only drawback is the lack of fiber optic audio output (it uses coax only; make sure your audio system supports this interface; most do).<br />Some have rated this box a good &quot;starter&quot; unit.  I'm not sure exactly what that means but I won't need another DVD player any time soon.
