Review on πŸ“€ Toshiba SD-4960: Ultimate Universal DVD Player for CD/DVD-Audio/SACD/MP3 Playback by Justin Elmore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good DVD player with DVD-Audio and SACD support

Toshiba makes excellent DVD players, and this model is no exception. Like most good DVD players these days, this Toshiba is progressive scan, which offers improved picture quality when playing a DVD on an HDTV. You may not have an HDTV yet, but in a year or two you probably will need a top-of-the-line progressive-scan DVD player like this one from Toshiba. For people who love both great sound and great picture, this model really sets itself apart from other good progressive scan DVD players in that it plays both new DVD-Audio CDs and even better-sounding Super Audio CDs . Most modern DVD players play regular CDs in the same way as DVDs, but very few of them can play both DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs, which are currently the highest fidelity audio media. And the SACD circuit can also improve the sound of traditional CDs. So if you want both the best picture and sound, a progressive scan DVD-A and SACD player is the way to go. This Toshiba offers both at a very reasonable price.

Pros
  • Supports DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, DVD-R, Audio-CD, CD-R/RW, MP3-CD, WMA-CD and JPEG with CD images
Cons
  • hard to remember, but it was
