Toshiba SD-4960 Universal Disc DVD Player with CD/DVD-Audio/SACD/MP3 Playback
Very good DVD player with DVD Audio and SACD capability
Toshiba makes outstanding DVD players and this model is no exception. As is the case with most good DVD players these days, this Toshiba has progressive scan which gives enhanced picture quality when playing DVDs with a high-definition TV. You may not have HD TV yet but you probably will have one within a year or two, at which time you'll want a top notch DVD player with progressive scan capability, such as this Toshiba.    For people who like great sound as well as great pictures, something very important sets this model apart from other good progressive scan DVD players: it plays both the new DVD Audio CDs and the even better sounding Super Audio CDs. Most modern DVD players play regular CDs as well as DVDs, but very few have the capability to also play both DVD Audio and Super Audio CDs which are the highest fidelity audio media currently available. And SACD circuitry can actually improves the sound of regular CDs as well. So if you want both the best picture and the best sound, a progressive scan player with DVD-A and SACD capability is the one to get. This Toshiba has both of these features at a very reasonable price.
