Product Description:
Imagine how your friends and relatives would feel if you were able to bring the most intense and lifelike movie theater experience right into your living room. Imagine how they'd react to a picture that's sharper than laser disc and twice as sharp as standard VHS. Imagine how the value of your couch would increase if it were enveloped in Dolby Digital Surround Sound? This is what happens when you have Toshiba DVD. Toshiba includes performance-enhancement and convenience features throughout its entire DVD line, and the SD2800 DVD player exemplifies the company's commitment to high-performance and high-value. It is PLUGE compatible. PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generation Equipment) delivers the black as well as below black signals to a television. With this functionality, consumers can use a PLUGE chart to accurately set their TV's black level. This then becomes the reference point for all other colors.

Solving the Disc Error Problem........2006-07-01

I have "fixed" several of these units.
The problem is the exceptionally poor quality rubber shock mounts in the rear of the Laser/drive motor assembly.
The shocks get "mushy and the rear drops down and the DVD won't spin. The fix is a 'paper clip' to hold the rear of the assy up.

Like 80% of the reviews here, my player died within 18 months - after playing approximately 15-20 movies. Roll that in to the cost of renting/buying movies and you might as well be going to the movie theater!

DO NOT BUY TOSHIBA.

6+ years and going strong.......2005-06-24

We've had this player for over 6 years and after some 500+ DVD's played, it's going just as strong as the first day. We've never had any trouble with it. The remote isn't as intuitive as it could be, but the player has been 100% compatible with nearly 10 multi-function remotes we've had over the years. The only tiny issue I have, and this is really because if its age, not a design flaw, is that it won't play DVD+R or DVD+RW recordable DVD's. Not many players did play them when we got this thing, so it's not really a negative. It's just a little outdated when you can get one today for under $50 that will play recordable DVD's, MP3, and JPG. Overall, it gets 4 1/2 stars. If it was just a little more compact, it would get 5.

Toshiba SD-2800 DVD Player - DISC ERROR.......2004-05-23

I had my Toshiba SD-2800 DVD player for 18 months. It worked well up until the other day, when "Disc Error" appeared after I put a movie in that I had rented. I tried several different discs and all had the same error, I even verified the discs were fine by playing them on my PC. I then checked out the net and found that the "Disc Error" is a very prevalent problem with this player and that I actually did pretty good getting 18 months out of it, as most seem to die at 12! It is not acceptable for a DVD player to breakdown after a year and a half of playing about half a dozen DVDs a month in it. I will not buy Toshiba again. Now that this machine is going in the trash, I'm going to go and buy a new Panasonic, as I have other electronic items of theirs and haven't had any problems.

Mechanical flaw???.......2004-04-06

This DVD player generally plays well however disks tend to come dislodged from their slots as the carousel spins. At one point I had to take off the cover in order to retrieve a disk. It's a real annoyance which should never happen.
