Toshiba SD-4980 DVD Player with HDMI and DivX Playback
Playback problems
Upconversion works great and the picture is excellent when it does work.  I have watched 3 dvds so far and 2 out of 3 had screen artifacts during playback, picture would freeze for anywhere from 1-5 second and then it would start playing normally.  The first DVD I played in it experienced these problems but I figured that it was a problem with the DVD itself then once the 3rd DVD experienced the same problems I begun research and have found other who have exact same problems with this model.  I can't recommend this palyer to anyone until Toshiba fixes their problem.
