Toshiba SD-2109 DVD Player

Toshiba SD-2109 DVD Player

Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Toshiba has pared an excellent DVD player down to its essentials for high-quality sound and image playback, making the SD-2109 a no-frills alternative to higher-priced models. With Dolby Digital and DTS digital-audio outputs, as well as composite, S-Video, and ColorStream component video outputs, we found the SD-2109 well-equipped to power any burgeoning home-theater system.

While more flexible DVD machines offer features such as analog decoding from Dolby Digital sources, karaoke-microphone inputs, and headphone jacks, the SD-2109 is by no means bereft of features. Besides traditional DVD features such as camera-angle selection, subtitling, and language preference, the Toshiba SD-2109 also offers three levels of zoom and reverse, and forward-play speeds from 1/8x to 30x. The Toshiba SD-2109 also does a great job locating specific sections on a disk through title and chapter skip as well as a convenient "time search" feature.

A nice touch available on this and other Toshiba DVD players is Video Black Level expander circuitry. With this function you can expand the picture's overall contrast range to derive richer, deeper blacks and finer tonal gradation, both of which we found enhanced low-light viewing. As expected, the SD-2109 proved extremely easy to set up and navigate, tiny remote and all. A super entry-level DVD player!

Pros:

Dolby Digital and DTS outputs

Component video outputs

Good features for the money

Cons:

Nonglow remote control

No headphone jack

Can't they do better?.......2002-05-27

I would have given this-our first-dvd player 4-5 stars but it suddenly died after 2 years and 4 months. We got great sound and clear sharp pictures on our 36 inch screen. We purchased it on a credit card that doubled the warranty to two years and then......VCR's last longer than this "planned obsolescence" machine. I would suggest getting an extended warranty if available or plan to replace with the cheapest but most reliable models every two years, until the manufacturer creates a more reliable machine.

I've had this DVD player for 2 years and have watched hundreds of movies so far. Its behind in the technology curve now, but its reliability and quality are good indicators of the whole Toshiba line. I'm particularly impressed with the picture quality when matched to my Toshiba television set using the compositve video outputs - significantly better than the standard coax output and S-video output. The one down side is that it doesn't play any VCD format disks. My goal was to convert all my 8mm video to VCD format so that I could play them in my DVD, but I was unsuccessful. After scouring web sites I found that the Pioneer DVD players seem to provide the best support for playing all the diffent DVD formats, so that's what I'll probably buy in the future. However, if you're looking for a solid entry-level player - this one is it.
