Advantages: Good Upscaling DVD player, HD Titles are now rock bottom price
Disadvantages: Slow to load, clumsy remote

...myself this Christmas to a Toshiba EP-30 player. I had the HD capable tv and decided to see if it was a major difference. I purchased mine from Amazon for about £190 but with vouchers my outlay was less. Part of the attraction was the fact that you were given two dvd's in the box, namely 300 and The Bourne Supremacy. You could then mail in your receipt and receive a further five titles free. This made the deal fairly sweet and there certainly wasn't ...
...was good to see that Toshiba give you the leads to experience HD straight out of the box rather than giving the retailer an upsell opportunity. The first thing I noticed is that access to the film is not as quick as normal DVD. There is a loading time that can seem like an age although it's probably only about 45 seconds. Then it hit me, you think dvd quality is great well HD raises the bar. Watching 300, a film created in the digital realm was ... Read review

Advantages: Apart from the frequent freezes in playback, a good DVD player
Disadvantages: Infuriatingly frequent freeze-ups while playing disks.

Disappointing: this player had promise but a maddening fault. We ordered this player to partner a flatscreen TV, intending to use the upscaling feature to take full advantage of the panel's resolution. The first impression was very good: excellent picture, good sound, and all seemed well. It's a nice looking player (only flaw is a rather flimsy disk tray) that's easy to set up and get working. Unfortunately, on a variety of disks, the player demonstrated ...
...would freeze for anything from a moment to five seconds or so, like a really bad layer change. Not a problem with the disks (several tried, all OK in other players) but the player itself. Okay, so there's a problem with that particular player, so we return it. The replacement has the same fault but does it more frequently. And it's surprising how annoying those short freeze-ups can be. Maybe I was very unlucky and got the only two bad examples, ... Read review

..., with the announcement that Toshiba is to withdraw from the hd race for the next format it leaves hd-dvd players in a very poor position in the market place , however do not let this put you off , there is already a great library off hd-dvd discs out there and as there is no region coding on the discs ,this means you can order via eBay direct from use for even more titles , of course the likelihood of new movies coming out on this format are very ...

Advantages: nice picture, good sound
Disadvantages: faulty laser in the north american machines.

...dvd player to stay with toshiba and to get a dvd player with an hdmi interface, at first I was in heaven, it had great picture great sound and was bought at a good price. Within a week I started noticing it taking a great deal longer to transfer over the overlay spot on a dvd.

...Box Contents: Toshiba SD260E DVD Player Remote control User guide Warranty information One problem with the DVD player is that it doesn't have a 'disc resume' feature. This means everytime you stop a disc and turn the player onto standby the disc loses its position and you have to scroll back to where you last watched up to when it comes to turning the machine back on, which can get quite annoying. Although a basic player, you don't need it ... Read review
