Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's SD3750 progressive-scan DVD player has innovations not found in previous Toshiba DVD lines, such as Super ColorStream Pro progressive scan and 3D-DNR (digital noise reduction) picture enhancement, that together offer filmic, flicker-free video images. A built-in 10-Bit/54 MHz video DAC further enhances picture quality by contributing to an artifact-free picture during playback of fast-motion and highly detailed scenes.

A Spatializer N-2-2 sound circuit simulates surround sound through your TV or stereo speakers, while the player's 192 kHz/24-bit audio converter delivers superb sound quality from DVDs and CDs. It will play a range of media, including DVD, VCD, audio CD, MP3-CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R. Optical and coaxial digital audio outputs with Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel pass-through provide easy connection to any system. Other connections include component-video, composite-video, and S-Video terminals.

This player lets you customize picture settings with such features as 4x picture zoom, strobe picture viewer, and camera angle select. A remote control is included.

Toshiba's warranty covers parts for one year and labor for 90 days.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent player!!!.......2003-08-05

You can not go wrong with this very nice DVD player. It has everything you could want except for DVD-Audio, which is okay since the selection of them is so limited. By the time the selection is better, this DVD player will be old and in need of replacement anyway. This player has an excellent picture, good sound, and a nice menu and button layout. The remote is good. For the money, this player is a winner!

4.5 out of 5; Awesome 480p output, chroma bug.......2003-02-04

I didn't buy this DVD player to listen to MP3s or CDs, I bought it strictly to watch DVDs in 480p with Dolby Digital 5.1. For the price, this is an excellent progressive-scan DVD player. However, it does have the chroma bug, which most people won't even notice.

The unit has composite, S-Video, and Y/Cr/Cb component outputs. You need component video to display in progressive scan, as well as a TV that outputs in 480p, such as an HDTV. Truthfully, progressive scan makes very little difference on a standard 480i (interlaced) TV.

Audio outputs are composite, optical, and digital coax (bitstream). The latter two are required for Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS.

I am not overly concerned with features or the remote; if it works, I'm happy. Notably on the remote control, there is a button that allows the user to toggle between interlaced and progressive scan to check the difference. In some cases, interlaced looks better on older source material, since seeing interlaced source material doubled to progressive often shows you all the junk that was previously hidden.

The A/V quality is top-notch, with 54 Mhz video decoding and 192 Khz audio decoding. The player itself is relatively artifact-free.

Overall, this is an excellent player, especially considering I got it new ... on sale. However, for best-in-class single disc progressive scan, 54 Mhz/192 Khz, the Panasonic RP-82 appears to be the DVD player of choice.

Sub-par progressive scan player..........2003-01-06

You should realize initially that progressive scan dvd players will have a better picture, even if you don't own a HDTV. So the picture and audio quality were a nice improvement when I first got this player...and at a great price. However, it does not age well at all. I've had it a little over the year, and the freezes when it switches layers (many movies use 2 layers of the DVD disk) are becoming more pronouced. It is becoming more frequent that you cannot see the dot or highlight that lets you know what you are selecting (you can select, but it becomes a guessing game) until you power down, eject the disk, and start all over again. Finally, it is starting to completely freeze...and I mean completely (you can't even power down from the front buttons, you have to pull the cord at the back). Don't waste your money.

Better get something that works!.......2003-01-04

We bought this DVD a year ago, and it's absolutely not worth what we paid for it. The DVD picture and sound are Ok, but this is the case with most DVDs. Now for the fun part: the remote is not designed to be used - there are rows of buttons, similar in size, and not very conveniently placed, so if you want to fast forward, pause etc. without looking at remote - forget it. It does not play SVCDs. I've gladly replaced Toshiba's remote with the universal, never to touch it again. But i can't do anything with mp3 playback - it totally lacks features: you can't program, you can't go directly to a certain track, you can't fast fast forward, it doesn' show titles etc. Finally, it comes with a disclaymer about what types of mp3s it is supposed to play. Well, it doesn't play even those, and it comes down to the fact that it won't play most of my mp3s at all. So, if mp3 is even slightly important to you, you will be better off with something else

Great value in a DVD player - don't use it for MP3s.......2002-12-29

This player has come down in price almost 50% since I bought it 1 year ago. It has superb picture quality and sound quality when playing either CDs or DVDs. The features are unmatched in this price range and all work really well. Occasionally (not on all DVDs) I have noticed it hesitate in the middle of moving from one chapter to the next but I have also seen this problem on most DVD players my friends have - some of those players are a lot more expensive than this one too. Navigation is easy either with the remote or the on-unit controls. Both give you quick access to the features you want. It will auto-power off if you leave the tray open and always shuts the tray when it turns off. The drive inside this thing is ultra-quiet. The remote is probably one of the easiest to use - I'm almost sad to be replacing it and the other 4 I have with a universal learning remote. I really bought this unit for its assortment of compatibility with DVD/VCD/CD, MP3, CD-R, DVD-R, and CD-RW as well as the impressive stats for the 54MHz video DAC, 192kHz/24-bit audio converter, optical and coaxial digital audio outputs with Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel pass-through, component-video, composite-video, and S-Video terminals. All of which live up to their claims. Unfortunately, Macrovision protection prevented me from copying DVDs to video tape for playing on my kids TV/VCR combo - oh well.

So the only real disappointment is the MP3 playback. The manual comes with a detailed explanation of the limitations of the MP3 playback. MP3 CDs must be 650MB, use DOS-style 8.3 names and files cannot be listed in sub-directories. It also does not extract ID3 tags so you are limited to the file name for determining what MP3 is being selected. You can also only have up to 254 MP3 files on any CD you put in the Toshiba 3750. I was successfully able to compile an MP3 CD that met all of these criteria including the 128-kbit 44.1kHz sample rate and the MP3 playback was horrible. Pops and crackles and a very dull tone made the MP3 feature useless to me. So, instead I have a Creative Nomad now. Still highly recommended for DVDs - hopefully my next DVD/MP3 CD player will be better.
