Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Toshiba SD6915 five-disc DVD player offers up a whole host of advanced features in a sleek, silver package. The SD6915 is fitted with Super ColorStream Pro progressive-scan component-video (digital 3:2 pulldown) outputs, allowing for the highest-quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component-video-equipped 480p TV for the smoothest, most filmlike images. When the player is utilized with an HD-ready set, typical NTSC artifacts--like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker--are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with excellent color purity. Working alongside is its 192 kHz/24-bit D/A converter to deliver warmer, more natural-sounding audio from many types of discs, including multichannel DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs.

The player holds up to five discs, and you can set it to play them randomly. It'll play back songs randomly among each CD sequentially, or randomly among all the discs loaded at one time. The carousel tray allows access to load and unload discs while one is in play, so you'll never have to interrupt the music.

The SD6915 has playback options galore. Along with the aforementioned DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs, you can play CD-R and CD-RW discs loaded with your music in either WMA or MP3 files, homemade DVD-Rs, and, of course, DVD-Video discs. You can even use it as a JPEG viewer to display digital photographs on a television set in the JPEG digital format. Just pop in a CD-R/RW with your favorite photos and start the show. Want to get a better look at something on the screen? Use the Digital Picture Zoom to select an area of the picture you want to magnify. Enhanced digital processing during moving video or freeze-frame playback produces superior color fidelity and resolution, even when you're zoomed in. You can also expand letterboxed films to increase the viewable area onscreen.

Video isn't the only thing to benefit from this player. The SD6915 has a 5.1-channel output with Bass Management for onboard decoding of Dolby Digital, DVD-Audio, and SACD content with control of independent channel parameters (speaker size, delay time, etc.), including control for bass reproduction. Use this feature to customize the player's multichannel audio output to your particular home theater system. Coaxial and optical TosLink Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound outputs are also available. These use a single RCA-type or optical output jack to send signature multichannel audio to an audio/video receiver with a compatible input.

2 out of 5 stars Bleh.......2006-11-28

The component outputs on my SD-6915 don't work. I've tried three different cables and... no component video.
Worse yet, I bought my SD-6915 to be a high-res audio player, but it only plays DVD-Audio discs in Dolby Digital; I don't have the "Advanced Resolution Surround" options I should have for an DVD-Audio disks (and do have on my older DVD-Audio player).

The remote the unit comes with is a crime against nature. The menu setup is obnoxious.

On the plus side, it's just fine for playing SACDs. Which is something, I guess.

1 out of 5 stars Hateful J-U-N-K.......2005-12-07

What kind of moron designs a 5-disc changer that WON'T PLAY ALL FIVE DISCS without pushing the "disc skip" button to go to the next one?

Terrible on-screen display. You can't use this as a CD player unless you connect it to a TV, too.

If Toshiba had any ethics, these things would be recalled and we'd all get our money back. Note that there is a firmware upgrade available through Toshiba, but only for products with certain serial numbers, and then only if you badger them enough. The firmware upgrade doesn't fix either of the two problems I've listed.

1 out of 5 stars The worst purchase I have ever made........2005-08-08

This player is the biggest piece of CRUD I have ever seen. It locks up, the picture goes in and out and the remote is a train wreck! We had another Toshiba player for years and it was a workhorse, but it finally met its match (my 2 year old) so we bought this model and we hate it! There has to be a better model and Toshiba usually makes such great stuff, so this is a bit of a disappointment.

It is not easy to operate and the reaction time is really slow. Pay more money and get a quality product.

2 out of 5 stars Psychedelic remote.......2005-05-02

The piss poor remote layout and user interface is why everyone else is complaining about this DVD-player. Toshiba engineers must have got bored with the older layout and decided to improve it by using submenu to control things. I previous owned a Toshiba sd-740 and I love the picture images and ease of use of the remote. Issues of the layout is the small IR range of the remote, to get it to work you got to point at it straight and level toward the right side of the machine front panel. To bookmark a chapter, find a chapter, you got to hit the submenu and go from there, how inconvenient not to be place simple commends on the remote. To forward and slow backward you have to press and hold down the next and back chapter buttons respectively. What happened to the other length of the movies options display?

Other issues:
The 5 discs unit here is twice as deep as a single player unit. You have to manually disc skip instead of each tray having its own distinguish buttons. Like the other reviewer stated the disc stop per the end of each disc, not automatically changing.

Images quality:
The DVD images are just as good as other consumer level player made by Toshiba. I can't really compare this player images to other images from $200 plus DVD-players. But I can say the color saturation and smoother progressive scan is a lot better then Panasonic or JVC consumer-level DVD players priced similarly. The sound quality is fine if you hock it up to a good receiver. DTS sound find also. Must have a HDTV ready set to use progessive scan.

I say avoid this player since most people will find it too frustrating to use, but if you use it to just watch movies without fiddling around the images quality is fine. I give it a 4.5-stars there.

1 out of 5 stars They call this a 'changer'?.......2005-01-13

Toshiba really created a more than lacklustre unit here. Just try to get it to play one CD then move on to the next one. When you play a disc, at the end it just stops. You MUST change to the next disc by pressing a button on the unit or the remote. The tech support admits that the unit was not designed to move from disc to disc except manually. You can do random play and get it to move from one disc to another, but that is the only way. In addition, you MUST have this unit connected to a TV at all times in order for anything to make sense. The cursor buttons do double duty, so for some functions you must press the menu button before pausing or stopping a CD in play. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. Just buy a single disc player, and you are better off.
