Adequate, but with hidden costs

bytomalaya Jul 23, 2005
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Cheap, Blue LED light up tray, adequate DVD controls
Cons Cheap, flimsy DVD Tray and remote, no TV controls
Recommended it? No

Having had my old DVD player die on me, I went down to the local consumer electronics store and bought this DVD player. It was actually about mid-ranged in price for their DVD players, but I did notice a big gap in the players available between the 40-70 dollar price range and then the 120 dollar...

incorrect disc problem

byelaine48104 Sep 21, 2007
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks nice and it did work for over ninety days
Cons Seems to fail fairly frequently and the user is given no recourse.
Recommended it? No

As in many of the other review I have just read, it worked fairly well for over the warranty period but suddenly it takes forever to load and then reads "incorrect disc" which is not included in the troubleshooting section of the manual.
When I bought it, I was told by the salesperson that it... Read full review »

The worst ever

byfcapio Apr 2, 2007

Pros absolutely nothing
Cons everything do not buy this product
Recommended it? No

I am a gadget guy. This was the worst product I ever purchased in 35 years. Instead of sticking with Sony I was seduced by the special discount offered by Future Shop. The unit stopped working after 3 days. The DVD will freeze up. I turn of the DVD player, turn it back on, and it displays "bAd" on... Read full review »

Pros clear pic, slim and unobtrusive, nice looking, easy to use
Cons starts acting erratic after 6 months, freezes, and gives weird error msgs
Recommended it? No

I bought this DVD player 1 year ago, almost to the day. As others have said there are many good things about it. But at about Month #6 periodically it would freeze in the middle of a movie, and would stay frozen for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes it would work again, and sometimes not. I kept thinking...

Toshiba SD3980 DVD

bymy10centsworth Apr 14, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looked nice out the box
Cons Has what seems to be a firmware defect.
Recommended it? No

Bought this from Sears as a replacement for our failed AKAI DVD200Bl.
Not the cheapest available.
After a couple of months of LIGHT use, the thing failed and would not read any disks.
Took the cover off to see if there was any obvious problem (being careful with eyes/laser etc.) The... Read full review »

Pros Very light, works automatically with universal remote that comes with Toshiba TV's.
Cons Broke shortly after I received it.
Recommended it? No

I actually got this DVD player as a replacement for my SD-3960 when its tray got stuck and refused to close.
Imagine my shock when this player (non-refurbished, direct from Toshiba) within two months started getting stuck on the load screen and having massive problems playing DVD's without... Read full review »

Good player

byetietje Jul 19, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros inexpensive good picture
Cons only reads DVD-R, NOT DVD+R
Recommended it? Yes

This is a good inexpensive DVD player. I've found the progressive scan to be ok, but not great. Pretty much what I would expect from this price range. The only think I don't like is that it doesn't play both DVD+R and DVD-R. It only reads DVD-R. Otherwise it's a good cheap player. Read full review »

Less than thrilling

Pros Great picture
Cons Very short life span
Recommended it? No

My parents bought me this dvd player for Christmas. I used it a total of four times before it broke suddenly after I'd paused the dvd I was watching to answer my phone. A dvd player should not break after being paused for ten minutes.
Other than that, I thought it was a nice dvd player. The... Read full review »

Pros Very nice picture, light weight, easy to use.
Cons No display on unit.
Recommended it? Yes

Bought it for it's price. Had no idea how well it would work.
I must say this inexpensive DVD player works very good.
I've read the reviews. Most give a low score. I give it two thumbs up. My guess is that there are some bad ones out there and that the only people giving the reviews are... Read full review »

Les than 3 months old and broken

Pros Good picture, plays most disks
Cons Quality very suspect!
Recommended it? No

I used to be impressed with Toshiba but this DVD player isn't that great. It's okay when it works but now it stopped in the middle of a movie and won't read any disks.
This seems to be a common problem with Toshiba players as well as Cyberhome. I'm going to turn it of for 30 minutes to cool... Read full review »
