Toshiba SD-3109U DVD Player

Pros: price
Cons: remote control

This DVD player was priced right in my range. In fact, SD-3109 offers more features than any other than the other ones at similar prices.

I really like the the dual tray (unless you don't have a amplifier-receiver with 5.1 or DTS) since you...

Pros: Price and features
Cons: None really

I purchased this unit last summer as part of a new home theater. What I was looking for was DTS capability, component outputs, and a reasonable price as the final DVD standards were still slightly unstable. The unit delivered these features and thus far...

Pros: Dual Disc Tray, Dolby Digital Built In, Solid Performer, Very Affordable.
Cons: Older Model, May Not be Widely Available.

Over the past couple of years, I have become a major fan of Toshiba. A couple of years ago I purchased my first Toshiba Television, and I still love it. So when I started looking for a DVD player, Toshiba was one of my first choices. After reviewing many...

Pros: Dual disc trays, HDCD, component outputs
Cons: Slow disc change, poor remote

The Toshiba 3109 is a solid performer for its price. It offers many features which distinguish it above the masses of inexpensive players, and offers a nice step towards higher end equipment. Some of the features I have found most useful:

--...

Pros: Full-featured, relatively easy to use, handles two discs instead of just one.
Cons: Remote control could use some revision.

I bought this DVD player on the advice of a trusted friend, and I've been very happy with my purchase.

At the time I bought it, it was a discontinued model, being replaced with, I believe, the essentially identical 2200. The one I have was a...

Pros: Component Video Output; HDCD Capability; Zoom-In technology; Dual Tray Loading; Price
Cons: None that I am aware of

This model has features galore at an excellent price. Currently it can be purchased via the internet for under $350.00. To see the current prices you can go to electronics.cnet.com and go to the DVD Players section, followed by the Toshiba section which...

Pros: Great value for your money, lots of features
Cons: Poorly designed remote control

This is my first DVD player purchase and I couldn't be happier with it. I've only had it for about 2 months now but so far its fantastic! Right now, I don't have it hooked up to a receiver. I have it directly connected to my television and I didn't...

Pros: good picture, good sound
Cons: does not play video cd's, skips frequently can't read through scratches and fingerprints

Although Toshiba created component video and offers it as a standard feature for all its DVD players and most of its tv's don't jump on the low price point bandwagon just yet. The pitfalls behind this dvd player will become glaringly apparent after a...

Pros: well designed, solid construction, great features
Cons: requires some instruction for full set up, not all cables provided

First of all, the reason I love my 3109 (and I do. I do. Dear God almighty, I do.) has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with its performance. No, I love my 3109 because it turns itself off if you leave it on pause and then... and then... and then when...

Pros: Easy to use. Great picture and sound.
Cons: None I can think of

I purchased the Toshiba 3109 for three reasons: One - because I needed a player that had the Dolby Digital decoder built in to the player (my receiver does not decode the Dolby Digital). Two - because I have had Toshiba products in the past and find them...

Pros: Quality, Brand, Multiple Connectors
Cons: Remote Control has not been improved from old version

This is 4th generation DVD player from one the original developers of the DVD format!

The sharpest and best quality picture ever developed, the Toshiba SD-3109 DVD player is a step above the competition. Toshiba always leads the electronics...

Pros: Good Price, Lots of Extras,Excellent Picture and Sound
Cons: Problems with remote control

After many weeks of research into dvd players, both in stores and on the net, I finally selected the Toshiba 3109 player. I found it slightly more expensive than some other players, including the 2109, a comparable Panasonic unit, but less than Sony's...

Pros: Dual disk, Decoder, Lots of AV outs.
Cons: May appear pricey.

I have plenty of friends with slightly cheaper equipment in their home, and to be honest you can tell. For the money you could get 2 and a half of the cheaper players, but will sacrifice multiple outputs and dual disk capabilities. The rumors of certain...

Pros: Dual-disk, HDCD, component video
Cons: Known to be sensitive to disk damage

I am not going to talk much about the quality and playback of the 3109 as all that sort of thing was excellent so there's no real reason to get into it, I am focusing here on the features that the 3109 has that may actually matter to someone looking to...

Pros: High quality picture, HDCD compatible, Zoom
Cons: Combined FF and Chapter forward buttons

When you are going to buy a DVD player I say look to someone who was part of the development group for the format, this is Toshiba. Picture quality is among the best I have seen, with a super contrast and an adjustable black level. There are many...
