This player died on me after only two months. Reading reviews elsewhere, I find that this is a far too common experience. After having replaced the defective Toshiba with a slightly more expensive Panasonic player (the S1), I now realize that the Toshiba's image quality was also quite poor. Don't buy this player - you can do far better elsewhere.

Toshiba is a pretty BAD Brand: yeah, it may run and work for a few years, but might as well get up & go to the fridge or bathroom break when it stalls several times during play-- the progressive scan is lousy & getting worse; i have a black rack model(slim /low height type). And the P-scan is degrading, getting worse. You'd be better of with the cheap coby brand--(at least it worked well for 2 or 3 years) at least you know when it is dying, rather that this slow death. This lousy(!) brand is only meant for a VERY PATIENT person to buy. I cannot believe they charge so much for this crap.

The Toshiba SD-K740 is a pile of junk. Had this Toshiba DVD player for a few months and it just died. Tries to play commercial DVD's but video out is bad and RGB signal is nonexistent.

Save your $$$ and get something better. Or get the longest friggin' add-on warranty you can, because you're going to need it!

I hate to bad rap a whole company, but Toshiba shouldn't have put their name on this turkey.

Worked pretty well for about 6-9 months, then just died. What's worse is that it's got a dvd trapped inside of it that I'll have to work to get out. I'll never buy anything Toshiba again, they're 0 for 2 on products I've bought from them.

It's junk. Almost every movie hangs up. My last Toshiba was excellent but don't bother with this one.

I had this dvd player for 3 months and within every movie I watched it stopped and began all over again! Don't waste your money! If it was possible to give something 0 stars I would DO EXACTLY THAT!

My wife and I have used this player for over 3 years without any complaints. It's a no-frills player with an easy to use, compact remote control and a small footprint. It has component video out and digital coax audio out which is all most home theaters need.
