Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The SD-5915 DVD player from Toshiba features a five-disc DVD changer and a spectacular viewing experience. Loaded with powerful audio and video processors, you can enjoy your favorite DVDs more than ever with realistic visuals and sound.

The SD-5915 utilizes Toshiba's ColorStream Pro progressive-scan video technology to yield vivid colors, clean resolution, and reduced onscreen distortion. Digital cinema progressive scanning, or 3:2 pulldown, reproduces your DVDs in theaterlike clarity. The SD-5915 features a 10 bit/27 MHz video digital-to-analog converter that adds natural warmth to the picture. While the SD-5915 is compatible with both analog and digital televisions, you will get the optimum effect by linking the player with a high-definition-compatible television.

You can take full advantage of that picture clarity with the versatile digital picture zoom option, which lets you magnify a portion of the picture onscreen while in freeze-frame mode or even while watching a DVD in real time. The feature is great for spotting details in movies or even adjusting letterboxed movies to fill your screen. The SD-5915 also features a wide array of DVD features, including random play, multiple angle selection, a fast-scan option that allows you to fly through DVDs at up to 20 times the regular speed, and three slow-motion speeds.

Load up the SD-5915 with five of your favorite DVDs or music discs. In addition to playing a full range of DVDs, the SD-5915 plays CDs and MP3 audio files, so you can enjoy your favorite music. You can also view digital JPEG photos from CDs created in your computer with the SD-5915.

Make the most of your music and movies with clear, clean sound, thanks to Toshiba's 24-bit/192 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter. This converter translates digital audio data into a natural, high-fidelity sound. The SD-5915 also features 3D virtual surround sound, with an easy-to-connect, multichannel coaxial digital audio output, rear-panel composite audio and video inputs, and a S-video connection.

complete waste of money!!.......2005-09-19

I currently have a Toshiba TV and love it. I thought I'd purchase a Toshiba DVD player since I love my TV. I have completely wasted my money on this piece of junk. DVD's skip, remote sometimes does not respond, sometimes a DVD will freeze. I put the same DVDs in another DVD player in my bedroom and they all worked fine with no skips/freezing. As alot of the other reviewers said, I agree.....your just throwing your money away here.

The worst.......2005-08-03

I discounted the bad reviews on this site and bought this DVD/CD player in July. We have been using a sub fifty dollar model for a couple of years and I wanted to replace that and our CD changer with one unit. I wanted to go with Toshiba because we have a Toshiba TV, I thought we could use the new remote with the our old TV and consolidate some remotes.
The first disappointment is the remote control's layout, it is the worst. It's all most unusable.
Then 4 out of 5 DVDs played will freeze. I thought that the rented DVDs were dirty or scratched so I have taken to cleaning them before playing, but the sub fifty dollar DVD has had no problems playing the same DVDs that this player freezes.
Audio CDs play fine, CDRs will skip and pop, the same CDRs will play fine on other systems.
This is the worst purchase I have ever made. Avoid this piece of junk.

Cheap price buys cheap performance.......2005-07-21

I got this to stop getting up all the time to change disks in my single DVD player. Now I'm getting up lots more trying to get this to work. Other reviews say it's slow to respond - they aren't kidding. Push "open" to access the tray and it grinds away for ten seconds deciding what to do. More often than not it'll stay closed and go back to the movie. Sometimes (not often) it freezes completely and has to restarted. Being cheap, it doesn't remember where it was and you have to scan through the movie to find your place. Also ultra susceptible to scratches/fingerprints so the picture stops and jumps frequently. Avoid like the plague.

Most terrible eletronic equipment I've ever owned.......2005-06-16

I bought this DVD player brand new. I've never owned anything as buggy as this DVD player. (And indeed, it is in the design of the product because I returned 1 to the Toshiba factory for the problems it was giving me -- only to be given another one that merely gradually developed the exact same problems).
After owning my Toshiba SD-5915 for about 1.5 years now, I just don't even use it anymore because: the movies pause for about 5 seconds, 10 or more times during a single movie viewing; sometimes the movie will not finish, instead freezing up and requires being unplugged from the wall to turn the player off; the remote has few buttons left that work; the picture warps sometimes during the movie; any discs made from a computer or a recorder (like the one that I use to record TV shows) are difficult to get to work -- usually will play partially and stop or just do not start at all (and I esp. cannot rewind or fast forward these because that initiates the frozen pause I discussed above and ends the movies or home movies or whatever on these dvd's immediately.)

Overall? Toshiba damages their reputation with this dvd player. You are throwing your money away if you buy this product.

Very dissappointing.......2005-04-26

I purchased this 5 Disc DVD player to eliminate two of my console pieces from my audio/video rack. I was hoping that this item would replace my current DVD player & my 5 disc CD player as well.

After about a month or so, I realized you are definitely getting what you pay for. When I purchased this, it was under $100. And that's exactly what it is...a $100 piece of useless electronics.

It ruined 1 of my child's favorite DVD's because the DVD somehow jumped off the spinner and got scratched while spinning on the player's inner electronics. The only way was I was able to get the DVD out of the player was to unscrew the top and remove most the of pieces to remove the DVD.

I've also had problems with skipping & many movies become "pixelated". This DVD player does not like scratches on DVD's or CD's (which caused the pixelation).

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and I'll will never purchase any type of Toshiba home audio/video equipment again.
