Toshiba SDK1000 DVD Player with 1080p Upscaling (NEW Model) (Includes HDMI Cable)

i bought this as a refurbed unit from the BB website. the day i got it home and, as a test, i popped in Band of Brothers and everything looked great, with a very clear picture when upscaling. however, about 20min into watching a movie, the picture would go black for a few seconds (audio would be fine). sometimes the picture would come back on its own, sometimes i would have to intervene and pause and restart the video for it to reappear. this happened 3, 4, 5 times before i decided i had purchased a dud.<br />call me foolish, but i had figured i'd gotten a lemon so i ordered the exact same product again, thinking it couldnt happen twice. it did. the 2nd unit had some of the same symptoms, but also had the habit of showing the video/audio in a jerky fashion (as if i were pressing pause then play over and over very rapidly) until i stopped the DVD and restarted it, and would sometimes show the video completely pixelated and with choppy audio. needless to say, i returned them both promptly.

The picture quality isn't as sharp as a blue ray player but its pretty sharp. I like it. It does what I need it to do. However, I don't really seem to notice the difference with the HD conversion cable. I do have an HD tv by the way. My roommate has a 52 inch lcd and uses audio/video cables for hook up and the picture quality is just as good. The HD cable is convenient though and can come in handy for other gadgets. This DVD player also came with audio/video cables. Nonetheless, great purchase!!! The price was too good to pass up!

I got this dvd player when the dvd of my vhs/dvd combo player broke...I've have it for about a month now and so far so good. It's a great player, especially for the price...the only thing I don't like about it (which would not be a deal breaker for me - again especially becasue of the price) is the dvd calculates the chapter of the movie instead of the time while it's playing...not everyone will care about this and again it's not that big of a deal but I tend to like to know how much more of the movie is left when watching and because this dvd player only calculates the chapter of the movie I have no idea how much I have watched or how much time is left to go...

I'm still not quite sure what the difference is between a plain ol' DVD player and an &quot;upconvert&quot;. Either way, this works well and was very easy to set up and use.

I purchased this model, Toshiba SDK1000, from Costco. I chose this player for the HDMI output. It is a very good player but it has problems playing discs recorded on other DVD recorders. I have two DVD recorders, a JVC and one made by Funai. Discs recorded on the JVC will not play back properly on the Toshiba. It skips repeatedly and causes the audio and video to be out of sync. I tried different recording times and it has no effect. However, discs recorded on the Funai work fine. I just placed an order on Amazon for a Panasonic DVD player. It is supposed to "play anything". We will see.

For an inexpensive unit, this can not be beat. I replace my Vizio Blu-ray dvd player with the Toshiba. I honestly can't see much of a difference. I found the blu-ray to be slow, and being that we don't really watch too many blu-ray movies, we would go back to a regular player. This unit hooks up very easy with the HDMI, and looks great! I bought mine at Costco for just under $40.

Has all connections for regular (RCA out) and HDTV connections... Excellent picture, beautiful sound... A REALLY GREAT PURCHASE-- bargain for the money !!!

This Toshiba DVD player is a excellent product for it's money. Simple to use and very good picture. It is inexpensive and well worth it. I recommend this product to anyone.

I previously owned a Sony player, and was somewhat reluctant to buy this player. I am very happy I bought this player, because it solved all of the problems I was having with my old player. I will add this, I recently bought a Vizio 47" led tv, and hooked up my old player to it. Part way through a movie the screen would go black, pixalate, and then I would get the movie back...this would happen more on some movies than others. I got this new player, hooked it up with the RCA cables and it continued to pixalate!. So I hooked up the HDMI cable, and it was like a whole new experience! The picture is excellent, the sound is good, and NO pixalation!! I would buyer this player again if I needed to. Only drawback is the remote, black on black, not black on gray like my old Sony.

Easy to set up, picture is super clear using HDMI cable and the remote has not been a problem. Love this DVD player. For the price it can't be beat.
