Great DVD player!.......2002-09-20

My wife had a deal at Bloomingdales: "Spend [x amount of money] get this [Toshiba SD2300] DVD player for [y amoiunt of dollars]." So we did, and I got the player.

I was told that the Toshiba players were good, and at the [money] I spent, I figured if I was wrong, then so what, at least I got a good price on my first DVD.

Well, the good news is that the player is really good, with excellent picture, sound quality, and features.

I had planned to buy a Toshiba, and when I saw the deal, I jumped on it. At the price it is offered at now, it is still a great deal.

Anyone who buys this player is likely to enjoy it. I got lucky with the Bloomingdales' deal.

Simple, yet great DVD player.......2002-01-07

I bought this because several on-line reviews rated it very highly for the price. I have had it for about a month and am stunned by the visual quality. I can't say much for the audio (no receiver, just TV :( ). All discs I have played have had ZERO trouble, just pop it in and play it. I highly recommend this product.

Exactly what I wanted.......2001-11-15

This DVD player was exactly what I was looking for.

Poor Man's Complete Home Entertainment.......2001-08-07

This is the best you will find, for the price. I looked at and tried out, at least 50 different DVD players. I returned two to the stores, as I was not at all happy with their performance. I settled on the Toshiba SD2300 because it has the most features found. I compared it's Colorstream to Progressive Scan on higher priced models and found very little differance. This is a great picture. The unit is loaded with features: 1. Extremely easy to set up 2. Really cool Light Machine feature, that can be used during CD playback-It's like your very own Lazer Show, with patterns you can change and that vary with the music. My grandkids love the Light Machine. It's great on the large screen TV. 3. The zoom-in and varied angle features, as well as the best forward and reverse that you can imagine. 4. Nuon technology. Toshiba, as well as other manufacturers, are planning to add additional elements for use on the Nuon machines. Toshiba has a fantastic support group, that will personally answer any questions you may have on the Nuon technology, games available, where to locate games, how Nuon technology is planning to connect through the internet in the future and any problems you may have. This is one piece of equipment, that takes the place of five. This DVD player does need to be positioned in a place where it "Won't be Bumped," as that can cause the picture to break up momemtarily, into those little square pixels. This has'nt happened for me, since I put it onto a stable entertainment center.

AWESOME picture and sound, super ZOOM, and NUON games..........2001-07-22

The most impressive feature of Toshiba's SD-2300 is the absolutely GORGEOUS picture it creates on my old 27-inch TV set (with S-video input). Blacks are black, brights are bright, colors are vibrant. This player makes even the worst of DVDs look beautiful. And, of course, the audio (through my TV's speakers) is excellent also. Another great feature is the ZOOM, which will allow you to make widescreen discs fill the entire screen with minimal loss of picture quality. Image Capture allows you to create a `wallpaper' of sorts by saving an image from the movie of your choice to display as the player's background picture (sure beats the plain gray or blue screen). NUON allows you to play video games (like The Next Tetris, which was included with my player) on your SD-2300 either with the remote, or a NUON gamepad (sold separately). Unfortunately, there are currently only a handful of NUON games on the market, and the graphics are not even close to PlayStation 2's. Along with all of these good points, however, there are a couple of drawbacks... I have noticed an occasional minor disturbance in the picture with this player. On the average of once every other movie played, a small area of the picture will `break up' into little blocks (or `pixels') for just a split second, then return to normal (this does *not* seem to be due to dirt on the discs). I did some checking, and learned that many SD-2300 owners have experienced this same problem. Also, two movies I watched suddenly froze for a few seconds (*not* on a layer change), and then continued playing. These glitches -- IF they occur -- will bother some people more than others. For me, they are not a big deal when I consider how terrific the picture looks 99.9 percent of the time.
