I bought the Toshiba SD330E DVD player 3 Months ago.
My choice, was influenced at the time by the price (£49.99), and, having already owned the lower model Toshiba SD125E.
Advantages of the SD330E: ======================
Plays DVD, VCD, Audio CD (inc mp3/ wma format) JPEG's (Photo cd's/dvd's) , as well as DVD-R discs of dvd video format, with no problems.
Multi Region Capable (provided you check where you are buying it from).
Component video outputs, coaxial audio & optical audio outputs. (For those wishing to connect to Home Cinema / Plasma's or LCD televisions.
Superb Picture Quality, (even when connected with Scart Lead)
I have mine connected to my home cinema system, through the optical out connection, and, well, lets just say, this is how DVD should be observed!!
Disadvantages of the SD330E: ========================
No On Board DTS/Dolby Digital Decoder
MP3/ WMA playback does not show complete title/ artist on screen when listening to your music. Only half the tracks details are displayed---annoying!
Can be noisy sometimes, but this may just be a duff disc that i own!
Conclusion: =========
A very good player, considering the price. Good picture quality, and sound, only let down by a tedious menu display, and occasional humming noise with some DVD's.
For home cinema enthusiasts, an excellent choice, has all the outputs you will ever need, connectable to HI-FI, or, external amplifiers equipped with either a DTS decoder/Dolby surround Prologic decoder and even the rare amplifiers with MPEG2 audio output.---And you get the 'Toshiba' reliability.
A quality machine, but nowadays, if you look around you can get built in DTS/Dolby Digital Decoders, for not a lot more money. But they might be a 'cheaper' brand!......
This is simply a superb DVD player. For less than £100, back in the days when a good multiregion DVD player cost a lot more than that, I've had several years of trouble-free viewing. The picture is sharp and clear, and the sounds really hit the spot. It has additional ports at the rear for connections to more advanced speaker or home cinema options for best results, though the quality that comes though a normal TV with the SCART socket is hard to ... ...various picture and sound output options to ensure you get the best possible results. The CD playback is fine, though it could do with an MP3 capability to bring it up to date. The design is sleek and stylish, and setup, as with most audio-visual equipment these days, is almost too easy, so I don't have any comments on the instruction manual, as I;ve never actually read it. An easy to operate remote control completes a great product.
Although I ...

Advantages: Sleek, stylish design that is very compact Disadvantages: Might be hard to get hold of one, unless its second hand
...that I get on my Toshiba TV, but that maybe because I'm using a cheap S video cable and haven't got around to fitting the component cables yet- this is reflected in the rating below. With a better cable I'm sure it would be far better.
All in all if you are on a budget and see one of these buy it. I doubt you will regret it, again its a gem. ...
