Disc reader broke in less than 200 hours of viewing. I won't buy another Toshiba.

Take care, any Toshiba DVD player that plays all regions will not be replaced by Toshiba even if it goes wrong within a year as ours did. It had a common fault in which it says there is no disc. Toshiba have replaced the machines that this has occured in that only play Region 1 but after much delay decided they couldn't replace mine as it played all regions. Toshiba will not handle any machines other than Region 1 and will tell you to contact the supplier for a replacement.

For some reason, my player's tray is now in locked mode and I've got a rented DVD stuck in there. The owner's manual is useless -- instructing me toward commands that don't exist in the setup menu -- and getting through to someone who can answer this seemingly simple question has been a nightmare.

I bought this player in Costco about 4 years ago, and used it primarily to listen CD's. Recently it started acting funny saying all my CD's were bad. I disassembled it: took off the cover, and pulled out the dvd-reader device. All it took was unscrewing a dozen of screws. Then I took a q-tip and cleaned Lens AND a PRISM on the bottom side of the dvd reader. I didn't have alcohol so I used some bodyspray on the q-tip. After I put it all together it works fine, and starts playing CD's much faster then it used to after I insert a CD in.

Well, at least I got 2 years out of it, but my expectations for reliability are more on the order of more than 2 years. one star. avoid this product.

I was surprised to read all these negative reviews, because not have I only had great experiences with Toshiba, this DVD player has worked perfectly for the three years ive owned it. I have had major problems with other brands.
