Toshiba SD-5970 DVD Player with HDMI
Split Personality
The reviewers who rated this below 4 must have gotten a different DVD than I did. In my case the remote works fine as do the buttons on the front of the unit. I don't have to push the buttons two or three times to get it to work.  The only thing I can crticize is the remote, it is not very attractive and doesn't contol many TV functions. That is fine though since I can use my multifuntion remote to do every thing except change resolutions. <br /> <br />It plays DVD-Rs that I have recorded without a hitch and the picture is fantastic. I was anxiously awaiting HD DVDs but now I really don't care. It will probably be years before the sort out  whether  Blue Ray or HDDV will dominate.
