Price, warranty

It skips on DVDs like The Matrix and Fight Club I bought this because the Toshiba 2109 I had lacked a Dolby Digital optical output and that's the only kind of input my Sony receiver has. I also respected Hitachi's reputation. The Hitachi 305 and Samsung 612 had identical Best Buy ratings in Consumer Reports. That's because the two units are made by Samsung and are essentially identical with very minor differences (e.g. the remotes and the headphone input on the Samsung). Unfortunately, both share a tendency to skip frames or go "blocky" on challenging DVD's. CR did not mention this, amazingly enough. Too bad because Samsung usually makes a good product. I found this up on the Hitachi through experience. Similar Products Used: Fisher S-2000, Toshiba 2109 |
