Toshiba SD2715 5-Disc DVD Player
Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Toshiba's SD2715 DVD-Video player offers all of the standard Toshiba DVD features, including parallel video output, Dolby Digital and DTS digital-audio outputs, Spatializer N-2-2 virtual surround sound, three slow-motion speeds, and an icon-based onscreen display. But on this model, they've gone one step further by accommodating MP3-encoded CDs as well as playing DVD-Video, DVD-R, CD, Video CD, and Audio CD-R.
Another key feature is Toshiba's ColorStream component-video output. This connection is the ideal way to connect a digital video source like DVD to a TV display, resulting in increased image purity, incredibly lifelike colors, and crisp color resolutions. The 10-bit video D/A converter with high-resolution filter ensures excellent picture quality, while the 24-bit/192 kHz audio converter with dialog enhancement renders clear and dynamic sound reproduction.
Some of the more convenient features are two forward- and reverse-scan speeds and a bookmarking feature to help you keep track of your favorite onscreen moments.
Parental lock, time search, camera angle select, and 4-power picture zoom are all included on this model, as are S-video, composite-video, and analog, as well as a coaxial digital-audio output, giving you a wide range of connection options.
The SD2715 comes with a remote control and a one-year warranty on parts and labor from Toshiba.

Great DVD, not great for CDs.......2002-08-30
(1) It is too slow in scanning CDs and responding to commands. If you just want to play a CD, you'll hate waiting around for it to be ready to accept your next instruction.
(2) The random shuffle mode is poorly designed. If you just hit the "random" button, it will play the tracks on one CD in random order and then stop. Huh? If you are able to get it into the random2 setting, it plays the tracks on the first CD randomly and then the tracks on the next CD randomly. Huh Huh? If you're like me, you want the random function to play the tracks on all CDs in the machine randomly. This DVD player can do that, but it's very hard to get the setting correctly because it involves hitting the random button three times. Now that doesn't sound difficult, but it has to register three hits. That means that you have to do it slow enough that the slow machine registers the hits, but fast enough that it doesn't think you're done -- all this without any indication from the machine of how many hits it has registered. Hint: if you turn your TV on in DVD mode, it will actually tell you which random setting you are on. That's convenient -- NOT.
5 discs, plays VCDs, great price, but chokes on Black Hawk.......2002-07-14
It has shown massive stuttering on "Black Hawk Down" - hoping it is a bad rental copy. Plays "The Matrix" with no problems - usually a litmus test for cheap decoders in cheap players. Hopefully an isolated event. I'll amend the review with an update.
Plays VCDs recorded on the cheapest media known to man. Allows for Disc Exchange while others are playing - a nice feature when you're looking for that rental DVD while watching another movie. Gives off a nice picture. Tip: turn on the 3D Audio function for pronounced rear channel effects off a 5.1 disc - sounds great.
Great player for the price. It does take 10 seconds to warm up, but it's a nice, reliable player.
Great Buy !!!.......2002-07-09
Recommended: highly.
Setup is easy and straight forward with the setup button on remote.
Styling: player comes in black finish, looks plain, has lots of button on front panel such as on/off, open/close, disc ex-change during play, disc skip, stop, pause, ff /reverse. Displays the disc numbers for inserted disc and blinks when it is playing.
Connections:
audio:
5.1 analog, digital coax, optical.
video:
composite, s-video and component video (rear panel contains switch to change between s-video and component).
since i did not have digital audio cable nor s-video cable at hand, I used video coax cable to connect digital coax audio to my pioneer vsx-d409 dolby digital/dts receiver and used composite connection for video to my sharp 32' tv. The sound and picture quality after adjusting setting (audio set to stream/pcm)sounded and looked great.
dvd contains 2x,4x,16x,100x speed for fast forward and reverse, slow motion can go from ½ to 1/16 speed, other features included are zoom, multi-language sub-titles, multi-camera angle view
vcd 2x, 4x.
mp3: displays directory with filenames of upto 12 characters only. this can be viewed only when you tv set is on. (mp3 limitation: should be recorded in iso-9660 format and recording should start from track 1 itself).
I was evaluating 2 other players during the same time namely pioneer dv-c503 and panasonic dvd-cv51, I chose this player over panasonic for price and other it does not have digital coax socket, pioneer does not play mp3 / no zoom feature....
