I bought this because my home theater (Denon) came with a single play CD/DVD player, and I like to "rack 'em" while we're in the pool listening to CD's - so you don't have to come in every 50...
At least they were kind enough to offer a replacement... but at a cost more than the price I paid originally! Gee thanks! I would not recommend this product at all.
The picture quality is near blue-ray but the player costs a fraction of the price of the latter. Given the limited availability of Bue-ray titles, I will keep this Toshiba for a couple of years...
I exchanged the first one for another. The second lasted about one month less than the first. All in all, I got almost one year out of two machines. Complet junk. No more Toshiba in my house!
Toshiba SD-5000 1080i Upconverting DivX Certified DVD Player works great. The vendor delivered it in a timely manner. This works well in upconverting regular DVDs to the HDTV I have. I definitely...
The Pioneer DV-410 gives us the next-best thing to a Blu-Ray player at less than half the price !! My past experience with Pioneer A-V components and a top recommendation from Consumer...
I bought a Samsung DLP HDTV 61A750 and purchased this Sony player to go along with it. The TV itself does a great job of upconverting and you do not need to shell out extra bucks for upconversion...
I was very disappointed with this dvd player. I hoped that Sony would make a better quality dvd player. This one lasted about 3 weeks of light usage before it started to freeze up and skip on even...
Pros: HDMI when it works Cons: Slow slow slow! Picky on what it will play. Takes foever to load a DVD, open or close the drawer. In fact a long time to do about anything on the remote. And now it...
I was wanting an alternative to Blue-Ray and found this to be just the right ticket. I have a Sony KDS60A2020 wanted to fully use my 1080 capabilites. The NS75H does that and more for the price....
I bought this DVD player to use with new Sony 32" XBR LCD and noticed, what appears to be flaws when watching some DVDs, such as Spider Man 2, but when I play same DVD on a Panasonic DVD player...
Failed as soon as I installed it. Right audio channel generated bad hum even without disc in place. Poor quality control in my opinion. Also, the eject button is angled upward making it difficult...
The Sony DVP-NS75H is among the least-expensive single-disc DVD players to offer HDMI up-conversion. In addition to 480-line progressive scan display (480p), the DVP-NS75H supports 720p and 1,080i...
I've tried formatting my thumb drive several ways and I get an 'Unsupported Format" error everytime. The manual only states that it needs to be a supported format but no where does it tell you what...
Pros: Greatest pic quality I've ever seen. Cons: None yet. I'm using the HDMI on a Samsung 52" LCD TV and a Samsung 61" LED/DLP set. Audio connected thru fiber is also out of this world. The...
If the Scart socket is Sven Goran Eriksson, then HDMI is Steve McClaren, brought in to replace an ageing, impractical and much maligned system. This all-digital connection has ushered in a new era...
What is not mentioned in the review is that from the time you push the power button, waiting for it to boot up, waiting for the disc tray to open, closing the tray, and playing a movie seems to...
I bought this Denon DVD player to replace an Onkyo that was no longer loading and unloading disks properly. I'm using it on a 720p LG 46" DLP TV. I originally had it hooked up via the component...
If you are not interested in Blu-Ray, this unit is a great performer, and the current pricing makes it particularly attractive. I bought a couple of Denons to replace my old units because they...
Movie doesn't play in sync. Sounds/voices come after the actions. Very distracting to try to watch...looks like a really bad lip sync job. Plays fine on other DVD players. I'd pass on this...
I bought this player because I bought an HDTV and want to take advantage of the HDMI input and surround sound. It is about the cheapest unit you can find, especially with HDMI input. I found that...
lack of display on unit itself was disappointing. inability to fast fwd & rewind while skipping chapters is annoying- while FF or RWD it auto stops at the next chapter.
I called yamaha and they had no clue how to hook up drive or if the usb port will power the device. I wanted to use a 2.5 drive or solid state and it did not work. I can buy same at WMrt for 45.00....
Awesome player. Interface is simple to use and intuitive. The manual is easy to read, and the features are great. I bought this unit because I have a Yamaha Reciever and I wanted to use the...
The Onkyo Dv-Sp406 was easy to install, slim design works great in my entertainment center. Puts a great picture to my 50" plasma. Works seamlessly with my Onkyo home theater.
A few months ago, Onkyo announced plans to introduce a Blu-ray player at the end of 2008, but until then the company has a healthy range of upscaling DVD players to keep us amused. Among them is...
I don't recommend this DVD player due to it's poor mechanics. The door will sometimes not open and you have to press eject a few times. The USB feature is nice if you have picture you would like to...
It's not listed as a compatible format on the specs either on this site or at Yamaha's, but +R DL is listed in the manual, and it works. Hooking it up to an older receiver without HDMI inputs, had...
In general terms this unit works very well in most of the formats. With a good sound, and a multichannel option. The SACD sound very well. But this unit has problems with DVD-audio media which has...
The LG DN788 is aimed at budget conscious consumers looking for a DVD player with 720p and 1080i upconversion that won't break the bank. The clean lines and black and white finish makes the DN788 a...
This is a nice looking player with a great image quality. However, I am unable to get the HDMI input to be recognized by my $1200 AV/R. Even the LG manual speaks of possible HDMI problems with...
I already own an LG 42" lcd tv so an LG DVD player was a logical choice, so I picked this one it has the HDMI output I needed to connect it to my LCD tv and as a Bonus it has a USB on the front for...
I have it hooked to a 48' 1080p LCD via HDMI and the upconversion looks pretty good. I haven't seen other upconversion players so I don't have a baseline but if all you want is a cheap player that...
It would stop in the middle of movie, freeze, skip. I really hate this player. I bout in the store. If you trying to play computer files, it's starts nicely than it freeze and go to another file....
The £170 DV4001 is an attractive DVD deck with the kind of robust build we'd expect from Marantz. It boasts a thick aluminium fascia, a double-layer bottom plate and shock absorbing feet to set it...
At first I was thrown off that this DVD player has no optical output, but I can't here the difference in the coaxial. In fact, some people say that you lose some signal in the optical connection....
Listen up , Onkyo has made the right choice with the intergration of the high-end components curently and forth coming. Todays models are going to spring board Onkyo back in front. Yes it has been...
I ended up replacing the first one I ordered because of several issues. It turns out the player is very finicky about what it can play as the replacement has the same issues.
This unit has been great so far. Plays DVDs and Audio CDs perfectly, all formats. Will NOT play computer files, that is the only draw back. Remote and menus are well designed.
The DVD-557 is Denon's entry-level DVD player, but its outstanding performance and feature list put many other brands' top-shelf units to shame. It is difficult to think of another single-disc DVD...
Pros: impressive audio Cons: grainy video Well, the first thing that I noticed right away about the 557 was the cheap feel right out of the box. The chassis almost felt empty...not that that's...
I purchased this item on Oct 2-it lasted 4 months. Trying to get thru to a repair center(the one in NJ) is a waste of time and long distance charges. I could not find a 1-800 number and was on...
This was a replacement for another DVD player that stopped working. I was frustrated and hesitant to buy another one too quickly. I did a lot of research and settled on this DVD player. It has...
