1.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly horrible product, December 26, 2008

I've had good luck w/ Toshiba players. My first one lasted at least 8 years, and my current one has been doing okay with great picture quality. I bought the SD-4100 for my mom. After about six weeks, it flat out stopped working. It keeps saying the disk is loading, but it never starts playing the disk, no matter what you do. After reading a number of reviews on sites for the mega electronics stores such as Best Buy and Circuit City, it looks like this problem is very common. Avoid the hassle and buy a different player for basic dvd playback. No wonder the warranty is only 90 days.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Toshiba's best product, but it's OK, April 2, 2008

When you think Toshiba, you usually think of great, solid performing products. However, this DVD player is just OK. It was very easy to install and I was playing a DVD in minutes. Though, I noticed that the machine has a slow response when you want it to do something and makes this slight clicking sound when I skipped chapters. The image quality is good and it works. It's good as a low end DVD player.

Unfortunately, this product has flaws that can not be overlooked, and I returned the next day.

1. There is no position memory for DVD stopping, to return to your last spot of viewing, once the disc is removed. In fact, after 22 minutes in the stop mode, the player shuts down and you lose the disc position. When watching shows over several days this is a must.

2. There are several view modes to resize the screen picture, but none of them work on my widescreen TV, with this player. The 1.33:1 all stretch and fill the screen. The older 2.35:1 that are not formatted to fit the screen all remain narrow and can not be expanded or zoomed. I tried the same discs in my older Panasonic DVD player and I was able to fill the screen, shrink, etc. I tried every combination available and many discs. I use the view mode quite a bit for older TV shows and concerts on DVD.

3. The remote response is lacking and it is very small. It needs to be pointed at the player straight on. My other equipment allows remote use from any angle and even off the back wall.

I realize this is a low priced player, but the most useful options are not there or flawed. The picture quality and sound through my monster cables were quite good, but did not compensate for the flaws.

Hope this helps. j.
