Toshiba SD-3960 DVD Player
Not a user friendly DVD-Player
My 5-year-old Pioneer dvd-player recently died on me and I purchased this Toshiba model.  It seemed to have all the features I wanted and looked like a decent player in the store.  Did I make a mistake!   <br />It is not at all user friendly.  Like other reviewers stated, it takes forever for the tray to open, playback freezes often between chapters, it grinds more often than a beginner shifting a manual car and there is no display on the front of the player.   <br />Furthermore, the remote is a royal pain to use.  The design is horrible.  I have had the player a week now and still can't find the buttons on it without an exhaustive search. <br />Also, compared to my last player, this model is really slow.  It takes a rather long time for a dvd to initially load. <br />On a personal note, I also do not like the scan feature on it.  My last player would scan until you released the button and then begin play again.  On this model, once you hit the scan button, it goes into fast-forward or reverse mode until you press play again.  I personnally find this annoying. <br /> <br />I am not at all happy with this player and it is going back to the store this afternoon.
