Title: You may want to avoid Toshiba DVD players ENTIRELY
Product review: I originally purchased a Toshiba SD-1200 back in 2000. It had excellent playback and audio, but it finally died in 2003. It still plays cds, but it is unable to read DVDs. I chalked this up to 3 years of heavy use. Satisfied with the performance of the first Toshiba, I bought an SD-3900 to replace it. Now, a little after a year(and out of warranty), the second Toshiba is struggling in the same manner to start DVDs and access certain menu items. I have also experienced "trapped" DVDs that lock out the controls and force me to unplug the player. Some cds malfunction on the player as well. The cd begins to play, the index numbers start to jumble, and the sound stops. Very strange. I have kept the player more or less dust free and regularly used a lens cleaner, so it has been reasonably maintained. I am just going to avoid Toshiba DVD players from now on.
