Toshiba SD-1600 DVD Player
Bang for the buck, great buy
I finally decided to give in to the DVD impulse and began researching the different models available. I went to several different websites, looking at the technical details and customer reviews. After a total of six hours researching, I decided to go with the 1600 and it hasn't disappointed.<br />The 1600 combines high-resolution, S-Video capability, zoom features, ease of use, black enhancement, CD playability and tons of other features. The end result is very crisp pictures and great sound (it includes 'dts' formating which is the latest in sound technology but many DVDs don't yet take advantage of it).<br />Some folks have complained about noise from the player, or a relative absence of features compared to &quot;all that DVD has to offer&quot;. Personally, I didn't want an overload of features I wasn't going to use jacking up the price, and the only significant noise I've heard coming from the player is during the initial spinup with the player scans a newly inserted disc, after that it's quite as a whisper.
