Why would someone want to buy a video player that accepts both the latest Blu-Ray format and the perhaps obsolete VHS formats? Well, as someone who has their foot in both the past and the future, let me tell you why I love this player. Yes, I can definitely appreciate the crispness and clarity of [...]
I bought this Yamaha to replace a nice upscaling DVD player from Toshiba which my son broke. I chose this Yamaha for both its upscaling reputation and its SACD support. Feature and performance-wise, I have been very happy with the product. As a DVD player, the S1800 supports DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and DVD-Audio well, in addition [...]
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for a friend and I always like to set things up to make sure the item is working before I give it to the party in question. Setup was a breeze, very intuitive. I hooked it up to the cable system and it found every channel, it only [...]
I received this order very quickly, set it up with an HDMI cable on my 42 inch plasma. First test I did was grab some of my downloaded tv shows in DivX format and load them on a 4GB thumb drive. I plugged the drive into the player, pushed the USB button and it loaded [...]
Bought this after hunting around for a DVD player and getting thoroughly confused by the different options available. My requirements were as follows: 1) I wanted a Multi region player since I have discs from India and the US and I also make my own at home. 2) I wanted a USB input on the [...]
I’m writing this review after a month of use and the majority of the reviews are spot on. I evaluated recorders from several different manufacturers and decided to go with the Toshiba. I have a Toshiba VHS/DVD player combo as well as a no-frills Toshiba 14" CRT style TV which have been reliable for a [...]
The price is right on this little unit. The picture is a little better than my previous two portable units. The sound is a little worse (if I could increase the volume just a little bit more it would be perfect). It’s very lightweight. Like most cheap units, I expect to get 1-2 years of [...]
There seems to be a lack of reviews online for the new Sony 560 and Panasonic 80 Blu-ray players. So I purchased both of these Blu-ray players from Amazon, mainly becuase I wanted to do a critical, side by side comparison of all features and the audio and video quality. It wasn’t a professional test-based [...]
I bought one of these, and it’s AWESOME! For the price, the versatility is unreal. You can burn a CD, DVD or put your files on a flash drive or even an external hard drive, and it plays them all! Not advertised is that it plays .mp4 [iPod / iTunes music]. It does not play [...]
My less-than-enthusiastic review is based on what my expectations for the player were, not on its actual performance. I needed a cheap DVD player to go with a cheap TV I have that only takes S-Video input. So I bought this Toshiba SD4200 DVD player specifically because, at least at the time of purchase, both [...]
