Title: A tale of two DVD Players.
Review: Not wanting to commit to HD-DVD or Bluray yet I decided to purchase a upconverting DVD player to go with my new HD TV (finally!). My first purchase was the number one choice of a popular consumer reporting website, the Toshiba SD-5000.I could not get the Toshiba to work on an HDMI cable with the TV, only with conventional Audio/Video cables. After the lower tech hookup I quickly noticed that it also didn't have a chapter and minute/second counter on the display! Not satisfied with the product I returned it and purchased a Pioneer DV-400V-K. While forty dollars more expensive it is worth the price difference. Out of the box, plug in the single cable (HDMI), Go to the initial setup and select 1080P and enjoy DVD's in upconverted format. No it is not HD-DVD or Blue ray quality but it is very acceptable and 300.00 less than the forementioned. I'll enjoy watching DVD's on my 120.00 player while the dust to settles in the HD-DVD vs. Bluray battle.
