Toshiba SD-3900 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great Picture and Sound, Bad Player
I bought one of these for my new home theater because it got a fantastic review from an A/V magazine. They said the picture quality was almost as good as a reference quality player costing ten times as much. Perfect! Cheap AND high quality picture and sound for my new HDTV setup! And it does have great picture and sound quality, but that's it. Here's what wrong with it:<br />1. When you power off the player it forgets where you left off on the disc. So if you need to leave the film, next time you come back you have to sit through the FBI and studio screens again, and then skip and fast forward to where to where you left off. What the heck is that?!<br />2. The first night I used it to watch a full movie it locked up so bad going from the menu to the film I had to unplug the player to reset it. And this was on a brand new factory made DVD by a major studio.<br />3. It skips mercilessly on slightly scratched rental discs, if you rent alot, this player is not for you . . .<br /> . . . skip that, this player is for no one, you've been warned.
