Toshiba SD-V593 Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo with HDMI
My parents just bought this unit...
I am currently in college when I heard that my family's Panasonic PV-D4762 DVD/VCR combo unit (built in April 2002, purchased with my help in early June 2002) had died after three years of use. My family bought this unit, and I heard about how good it is. I hope this machine will do excellent on the Blockbuster rentals played on the DVD side (and hope for just a small pause on layer changes ala the Sony player I just reviewed). Sure, the Panasonic did well on mint rental discs, but I hope this machine will perform better.  <br /> <br />P.S. This player is HDTV-ready! (no need to dish out on the current DVD format when HD-DVD or Bluray comes out)
