Toshiba SD-5109 Twin-Tray 2-Disc DVD Player
Stunning Picture Quality - Easy To Use
I bought the Toshiba SD-5109 as a Christmas present to myself in December and am thoroughly satisfied.  I chose this particular player because it was the first to offer progressive-scan functionality and component video  outputs.  At the same time, I purchased a new Toshiba CN36X81 Cinema-Series  HDTV-ready set (not yet sold at Amazon.com) along with the appropriate set  of Monster Cables.  When everything had finally arrived, I got busy  attaching the DVD to the TV and put in my first DVD; The Matrix.  Did I  mention that the DVD player was so easy to set up that I didn't read the  manual until AFTER I was watching my first movie?  True.<br />All I can say is  that I was blown away!  The picture quality that the progressive-scan DVD  gives you is incredible.  The remote is easy to use and is back lit so you  can use it in the dark (just remember which button turns on the back  lighting).  Another nice thing is that you can perform most of the  functions on the unit itself without the remote - some newer units rely on  the remote almost entirely, without duplicating key functions on the unit  itself!  One additional feature that is nice - you can play music CD's in  it also.  I was able to unhook an old CD player and save some space by  utilizing this unit's additional features.<br />To summarize, I paid $100 more  for this unit when it was first released and am totally satisfied.  I would  buy it again (but for less money now) if I was in the market for a DVD  player today.
