Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Best DVD player on the market!!
Fantastic player all around.  I've never had any problems with it at all.  Great picture quality.  Menu and loading is very quick.  I don't know who these people are that complain about it not reading CD-R's.  You don't buy a DVD player to play CD's.  You buy it to play DVD's.  If you want to play CD's, you really should get a CD player as it has much better CD functions and sound.  There are a lot of good things to say about this player, but it would be easier to only mention the few things I don't like about it:<br />1) Typical of starter DVD systems, it has no inputs, so it can't pass through other video components.  When paired with a DirecTV system, it would be much easier if it would just pass through instead of having to manually switch between different inputs on the TV.<br />2) You cannot switch it to mono.  Why would I want, you ask?  Because we have FOUR mono VCR's in our house, not one with stereo.  So if you're to run it through any of them, you lose either the left or right side.  This forces me to now use THREE manually-selectable TV inputs (refer to #1).<br />3) No multi-function remote.  It's become commonplace for devices to come standard with multi-function remotes.  I wish this player did.<br />4) If you stop in the middle of a DVD and leave it for too long, when you play it, it starts over from the beginning.  It would be nice if it would remember the location where you last stopped.<br />These are very minor issues, and I still give it 5 out of 5!
