Toshiba SD-5915 DVD Player
Step backwards from previous model
I've owned a Toshiba SD-3205 for about four years and absolutely love it. However, it wouldn't play DVD-Rs so I decided to upgrade to this model. I was shocked to find that this newer model was severely lacking in comparison: You can't change discs while you're watching, the simple and great joystick-type remote was gone, the player was buggy and slower to respond, the optical audio output was gone, and you can't select a disc by number. I returned it, had the firmware upgraded on my old (but high-quality) SD-3205, and enjoy watching DVDs (and DVD-Rs) again. Sad to say it, but Toshiba really dropped the ball on this product line, especially since it started out so right.
