Advantages: Multi Region, Good picture, slim, durable Disadvantages: No Scart, not a recorder
...the DVD player connected to my hifi, so the sound is just amazing, sometimes better than the cinema. One of the connection options is audio out.
In terms of general features, the ToshibaSD340E has them all. Ciao claims that the player features no DIVX, however I can claim that to be incorrect, since the version I have does. A very useful feature of the ToshibaSD340E is that it can be modified to give multi-region playback. In case you are not aware, the players are locked to region two (UK) and selected models can be modified so that region one etc (USA) DVDs can be played on them. I'd recommend when purchasing the ToshibaSD340E, that you enquire as to whether it has been modified to play DVDs from all regions. Mine is as i said, and the advantages are that I can buy cheaper DVDs from UK online shops, months before they get a UK release...

...Hi everyone, how are you all? Hope you all had a good weekend. This weekend i was so busy, had to attend this wedding on Sunday and needed to buy a gift. I decided to buy them a DVD/VCR combo as their wedding presents because they needed one.
I would like to tell you some information about this the presents i bought. It was a ToshibaSD 37VB, DVD/VCR combo, and i think this product is fabulous.
What is the ToshibaSD 37VB?
The DVD/VCR combo is a box that can be used to watch DVDs and videos in one. The Toshiba multi-drive system is compatible with multiple formats including MP3 and JPEG, while another key benefit is the ability to record a program onto VHS at the same time as watching a DVD. PRODUCT FEATURES: DVD video player; Nicam VCR; DivX playback; PAL progressive; Simultaneous record and play.

Advantages: DivX / Hard Drive / DVD (+rw -rw +r -r) Disadvantages: No Freeview built in
...This is a great machine. After searching the web for a device that would play my old VHS videos and newer DVDs this came in my top 3. Then after some discussion with my son, who is a computer whizz kid, he noticed that the others did not offer DivX.
He outlined to myself that he could get videos and tv programmes off the interent and burn them to a DVD or CD and play them without the need to re-encode the video into DVD format. Meaning to make the disk only takes 15 minutes, as opposed to 2 hours to re-encode.
After buying the machine and seeing the results it gives, i am more than happy i chose it. I could not find a review for this machine anywhere else, but i could find reviews for other machines, that did not have DivX. I see this as a 'MUST HAVE' for the future as lots of video is going to become available on the internet...

The product: Toshiba is a well known and excellent brand (and for good reasons too). Toshiba has recently launched a HD (High Definition) camcorder which is very reasonably priced at an average of £149. It is able to record HD videos at a resolution of... more
