Amazon.com Product Description
The Toshiba SD2705 DVD player includes a five-disc capacity carousel and all the standard features Toshiba incorporates into their DVD players. Parallel video output, Dolby Digital and DTS compatible output, Spatializer N-2-2 Virtual Surround Sound, three slow-motion speeds, and an icon-based onscreen display are all here. This model also has HDCD precision filtering and decoding for HDCD playback, and is DVD/CD/Video CD/CD-R/DVD-R compatible.

Key features include ColorStream component-video outputs. The ColorStream component-video 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 D/A converter with high-resolution filter ensures excellent picture quality, while the 24-bit/192 kHz audio converter with dialogue enhancement renders clear and dynamic sound reproduction.

Some of the more convenient features include four forward and reverse-scan speeds and a first-time setup menu that assists viewers in accurately setting up their player to suit their system's capabilities, quickly configuring the DVD player for 90 percent of all home entertainment applications. Parental lock, time search, camera angle select, and four-power picture zoom are all included on this model, as are S-video, composite-video, and coaxial digital outputs, giving you a wide range of connection options.

The SD2705 comes with a remote control, and a one-year warranty on parts and labor from Toshiba.

Product Description

Imagine how your friends and relatives would feel if you were able to bring the most intense and lifelike DVD movie theater experience right into your living room. Imagine how they'd react to a DVD player picture from the Toshiba SD2705 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 a Toshiba SD2705 DVD player. It has all the standard features Toshiba incorporates into their DVD players, such as parallel video output, Dolby Digital and DTS compatible output, virtual surround sound and three slow-motion speeds. More than that there is a HDCD (high definition CD) precision filtering and decoding for HDCD playback, and it is also a DVD/CD/Video CD/CD-R//DVD-R compatible.

Works great.......2007-04-20

This unit has never given me a problem. I have owned it since about 2001, and it has many "miles" on it. Too bad it doesn't record, but there were not many DVD recorders back when I bought this.

Piece of crap! LESS than 1 star.......2004-12-15

I bought this thing approx 1 1/2 years ago for $75 here at this site . . . little did i know what a piece of junk it is.

I buy on average, 1-2 DVDs a week - would bring them home, play them and 1/2 the time they wouldn't play at all (even the menu unaccessible) OR I'd watch 3/4 of the movie just fine & then the whole ending would skip through to the very end. Like an idiot not thinking, I thought I had just hit a bad pile of DVDs - kept bringing them back to the store complaining . . . sometimes even 3-4x for the same exact one - wondering why kind of goods these stores were receiving.

Little did I realize that the whole time, it was THIS player - Toshiba is junk. My realization? The paperwork that I had just received in the mail for the CLASS ACTION SUIT that's being filed against Toshiba for just this reason . . . supposedly Toshiba KNOWINGLY made defective players that were not up to code/ standards and sold them anyhow - all the people in the class action suit have all had the same playback problems, etc.

Thank God I only ate $75 compared to what some of them paid . . .

Be very wary of TOSHIBA products!

Don't buy this DVD player.......2003-03-22

I bought this DVD player for my husband for Christmas 2001. We used it very little until the last six months. I agree with the other reviewers that the control actions are agonizingly slow, but I could live with that. Then we started to have problems where it skip and freeze up -- periodically at first then frequently. Now it has stopped working entirely. This DVD player was a complete waste of money.

Average.......2002-11-21

I genearlly don't like things that are "average."
I bought the unit for its design, and to match the small Toshiba TV/VCR that sits on top of it.
The complaints I have are as follows:
1) It turns itself off unexpectedly, this seems to happen usually when the TV is off. What this means is that if you want to listen to music CDs with this unit, you have to turn on the TV first.
2) It responds slowly to input from the remote and the buttons on the unit.
On the positive side:
1) It has all the buttons you need to play DVDs, and to access special features, menus, etc without using the remote. The is an advantage over many other DVD players which require the use of the remote even for basic DVD operation.
2) The remote is well designed and fairly compact.
Overall: I got what I paid for.

2 problems in 6 months.......2002-11-01

Other Toshiba products have performed reasonably well but this one's a dud. It's a good value featurewise but the control actions are agonizingly slow and the panel input went out after 4 months (after the labor warranty ran out). AND there's a strange sound distortion when playing half of the CD-audio discs that I've tried. Avoid.
