Toshiba SD2710 DVD Player
Great value, excellent performance!
I will not be buying an HD TV anytime soon...so there were some features I just didn't need. I have had it a little over a month now and this unit performs perfectly with everything I have tried...and the price was right.  It is hooked through an Optimus Receiver to a Zenith TV, I have recorded from an audio CD to a cassette tape (JVC Cassette deck) with great results.  The picture is terrific, the sound is excellent, and it has played audio CD's and CD-R's with no problem.  I've haven't tried the MP3 or CD-RW in it yet, but suspect there will be no problems.  No problems with New, Used or Rented DVD's.  The remote has features I probably won't ever use and the basic stuff is easy to figure out (I'm not a big manual reader.) The hook-up was a snap (I just had to remember to switch the TV to Video1 source instead of Ant/Cable.) Nothing to it.  This is a great unit for the price, I think you will be pleased with its performance.
