Toshiba SD-5109 Twin-Tray 2-Disc DVD Player
Superb value in a progressive-scan DVD player
I would echo the plaudits deservedly piled on this unit by other users. The progressive scan video output can't be beat. There are two basics one has to keep in mind, though:<br />1. Progressive scan only works on a digital  TV. If all you have is a regular analog (NTSC) TV, there is no reason to  pay this much for a DVD player; there are other less expensive units  (including Toshiba models) that would be more cost-effective.<br />2. Make  sure your digital TV is compatible with progressive scan DVD players. All  Toshiba digital TVs are, as are some models made by other manufacturers.  But some models lock into full-widescreen mode with a 480p progressive  signal and may give distorted pictures with some DVD titles. Just be sure  to do the necessary research before buying the SD5109 to mate with a  non-Toshiba digital TV.
