Summary: Pleased with my new purchase!
Review: I recently purchased the Toshiba, and find it to be easy to use, the cd options are great. I love being able to play 2 songs from each disc until the discs are completed. What a fun option. I have had a toshiba phone for years, and hope the DVD player will work the same.

Review: It was a shame that I had to return this player, I really liked it, but it had a glitch playing DVDs with seamless branching. The playback stuttered with 2 different copies of Terminator 2: UE and The Abyss: SE.I first discovered the problem when trying to watch T2. When I called Toshiba customer service, they first insisted it was the disc, even though I told them it played fine in my other 5 year old *Toshiba* player, and my XBox. They asked if I could try a different copy of T2:UE, so I tried my father-in-law's copy of T2:UE, and it too stuttered. Then I realized these movies use seamless branching, so I tried the Abyss, and it also stuttered on playback, even froze at some points. After reporting all this to Toshiba when I called them back, all they did was take my info and said they'd get back to me. 2 weeks later, and I still haven't heard from them. Since they didn't make me feel comfortable about getting the problem fixed under warranty, I'm glad I went ahead and just returned the player right before my 30 day return period ended.

Review: This player stopped working after 4 months (one month over warranty). The changer threw all the CD's out and jammed the unit. The door wouldn't open. It was a total disaster.

Summary: Awesome sound!
Review: Unlike some of the other reviewers, mine worked flawlessly out of the box. It has some great audio options, and after I hooked up the optical cable for audio, I saw lights turn on on my amplifier that I didn't know existed. The zoom feature is nice for viewing things in the background for concerts, etc. I would recommend it strongly, however, make sure you measure your TV cabinet, as it it bigger than a single disc style, and it sticks out past my entertainment center shelf, which sort of bugs me. Overall, it is a nice product.

Summary: Broken out of the box
Review: Unpacked this player, hooked it up, loaded a DVD, and immediately received a "Disc Error" message on the display. No matter what kind of disk I loaded, CD-R, music CD, DVD, got the same message. Also, the carousel would spin endlessly once I ejected the disks. Talked to Toshiba customer service, and they were of no help, just suggested I bring it in to an authorized service center. I've found that to be their standard answer for everything, unfortunately. This is my second bad experience with a Toshiba DVD player. A single disk player I bought stopped working at 13 months (1 month out of warranty) which is why I bought this one. I was going to chalk it up to an isolated case, but with the performance of this new one, I'm thinking it is not that isolated. Will be buying another brand now.
