Some things I learned about this player sounds amazing at first and also my $250.00 panasonic, picture too, it's beautiful player thin and silver. A few bad things and the reason it's still just a backup for my Panasonic is that the remote control is a terrible plan Keys in the dark with all sorts of practice and no

Pros

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.

Pros
  • Compatible with HD-DVD-Audio and SACD with 6-channel analogue outputs; analog or digital routing for Dolby Digital/DTS audio
