Strength:
Dual tray is nice for double features or if you want a movie in one and an audio cd in the other. Toshiba did offer to pay half the cost of the parts.
Weakness:
worthless after 2 years. When asked to give me the 1/2 parts cost toward a new Toshiba DVD player, they said NAH! They just lost a customer and I will be sure to let everyone I know, the lack of quality of their products and lack of complete customer satisfaction. What ever happened to "The customer is always right?" If you want to pay a lot of money for a good DVD player that will only last 2 years, then this is the player for you. At 2 years and a month, the player died and was told the laser went bad. To replace it at an authorized Toshiba dealer, try $205.90. Yeah, right! I could by a new, one for that (probably better too!)

Strength:
Great picture, easy setup
Weakness:
Remote Overall I like this unit a lot. The 5.1 sound is great. The remote could use a little work though. Reverse at x1 speed seems to run more like x.5 - not that that is a real important feature. |

Durability of disk changer????? Have had it for 2 weeks and it's great!! Puts the VCR to shame. Have watches The Matrix 4 times straight last weekend and can't beleive the quality of this player. If you need a player that has Dolby Digital built in buy one now |

None yet. I've had this unit for 3 mo. now and no regrets. Both sound and picture quality have been superb. If only I could find the time to watch more movies. |

Strength:
Excellent picture and sound, easy to use and set up, solid performance.
Weakness:
Remote control layout and design with limited controls on front of the unit. I just got this DVD player about 3 weeks ago after my friend who has been used for couple months and referred this model. Picture quality is excellent. Black level Enhancement feature is great. Similar Products Used: My first DVD player |

Strength:
Good value. Lots of features for the price.
Weakness:
Large remote, but the buttons are curiously small Purchased from a Egghead auction for $303 delivered. I've had the player for over month and have played about 10 movies with it. I haven't even upgraded to a DD receiver nor do I have a home theater system yet, but the sound and picture improvement is very noticable. Can't wait to have the full blown effect! I'm considering a Yamaha A-V1105 or H/K AVR300 matched with Energy Take 5s or Klipsch Quintets. Similar Products Used: My first DVD player |

Dual Tray is great... I've never had any problems with the unit The load time takes a while, depending on the disc. The Matrix has some glitches with this unit. |

Sound, picture,price...
Weakness:
slow access to DVD and CD's....typical I've heard Won't get into heaps of techno babble as so many others do, and seem to think is relevant to anyone. I will say this product for the price sounds exquisite, has a wonderfully clear picture and has more than adequate features available for a product from this price profile. The remote is not really difficult at all to use...it's simply big. The DVD player is quite large and is surprisingly light weight for the size. Guess there truly isn't much in these boxes...technology does not have to be heavy. I do not believe you will get more for the money unless you wait so long to purchase that all equal products have price discounts made when new models are available. Thank you, I am done preaching now....! Similar Products Used: a few...no specifics |

Strength:
Component video, dolby processor, great picture/sound
Weakness:
Remote sucks- the FF and RW are a pain I have had this player for about a year now and have had no major problems. It does freeze for a fraction of a second about every 2 or 3 movies, but this is a common thing for all non progressive scan dvd players. |
