Toshiba SD1800 DVD Player
Good buy
In the world of affordable DVD players, I'd have to say they're all about the same. Let's be realistic, you get what you pay for. And for $ this DVD player isn't the best, but it's definately worked well for me. The great aspect of this machine is that it is VCD, MP3, DVD-R, and DVD-RW compatible. It does not play SVCD, but it does go one step higher and play XVCD. How that has happened is beyond me. For the price, it offers you the ability to play your DVD's, with few restrictions play some MP3's, and if you're into it, make your own VCD's and if you've got the technology burn some DVD's on your DVD-R's AND RW's. For the price, this machine does it all. I haven't tested out many lower priced DVD players other than this one and what I've heard about APEX. So for me personally, I'd recommend this player for anyone looking to get into DVD's, but not wanting or caring about all the high frills and thrills that DVD technology can offer. If you're the kind of guy, or girl for that matter, that is always looking for the biggest and best, then pass on this one. But for most of us, this DVD is cheap and does it all.
