Toshiba SD-V593 Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo with HDMI
Warning!
Note:  Past Toshiba DVD players have had documented problems reading disc (see all product reviews prior to 59.. series).  This is not the better, newer 59.. DVD model.  They are using the older (bad) drive in the combo VCR/DVD to save money.   <br /> <br />I purchased this model expecting the newer 59.. model DVD drive.  This drive has eliminated many of the previous problems associated with Toshiba DVD system.  Unfortunately, I gave Toshiba too much credit. <br /> <br />The system showed all the signs of being the older drive.  Skipping, random pixilated image, loss of sound, and problems initializing the disc.  Come to find out they are using the older drives to save money on these combo units.  Toshiba has deceptively named this model after their newer, redesigned system in an attempt to sell their remaining stock of older drives. <br />
