Estate sale find
Oh boy, though I did pretty good. Found this at an estate sale for $27.50. Looks brand new! The first dvd I played would lock up at times. I've been a VHS guy & they don't lock up or pictures don't freeze either. Hello new tech. After reading many of these reviews I'm thinking I got ripped off paying $27.50. How could someone be so unlucky. I mean Toshiba is a BIG name in electronics! Sounds like it might be the biggest POS ever.

Should have read these reviews first!
It worked okay for about a year, now the LCD won't come on, so I have no idea where I am in the movie. I agree with these reviews entirely. Not a good buy.

Just Like The Rest
I have had two of these units (one for bedroom/one for living room) for more than a year and I am fortunate that both are still working and do not have issues with any disc thrown at them like others here. The picture quality is excellent as has been noted by others. However...I cannot stand using these any longer. From day one the response times of the remote and on unit controls has been horrible! It takes me longer to get the darn things to open than for my family to decide which DVD we are going to watch (meaning: a long time!). It has gotten so bad I've decided to move a Samsung HD841 (was being used only for DVD-A/SACD) to the bedroom and build an HTPC for the living room. Toshiba used to make great players...and maybe they still do, but this thing is the single worst piece of Home Audio/Video equipment I've ever purchased (and that includes the first generation Fisher CD player I bought in the early 80's that died in a week). My fiance asked if I was going to sell them...I just laughed and told her that nobody in their right mind would buy these so I am going to simply throw them away...or maybe tear them down and see if there is anything I can salvage for my electronics projects. One star is for the actual picture quality and the other star is for the included HDMI cable that I am keeping.
