Pros: Inexpensive with advanced features Cons: Remote isn't programmable, not good with older televisions
The outbreak of DVD (meaning "Digital Versatile Disk") had spread considerably by the time I began to consider a purchase. The details regarding my delay, while too numerous to itemize, could probably be distilled down to a single concept - my ignorance...
Pros: Good video and sound quality, price, easy to use Cons: Remote buttons too small, have to point it directly, no optical digital audio out
DVD players are getting cheaper every day. This new model at $200 rivals more expensive competitors with its combination of features and video quality.
Toshiba is known for their outstanding DVD players and this new model continues...
Pros: Features Features Features - Great Picture - Sleek design Cons: semi-dirty DVD's will freeze and skip
My roomate went out and got a new DVD player, not that anything was wrong with the one I had, he just wanted one for himself. (It's an electronic household here) So he leaves, comes back in about 40 minutes with a box in his hand. "Oooh the new...
The Toshiba SD-1200 DVD player is an excellent entry level player. I recently purchased it and will never go back to VHS. It is far superior to the VHS format and with the greater availability of DVD movies it’s a must for the got have it crowd. The...
Pros: Great video and sound, attractive price, easy to use. Cons: Remote buttons are small and hard to push, weak remote signal, lack of optical output.
Although the Toshiba SD1200 is an entry level machine, replacing the SD2109, I actually purchased this player as a step up from my JVC player. I had been happy with the JVC, except for the fact that it refused to play DTS movies, even though it was...
Pros: Inexpensive, lots of features, awesome picture and sound Cons: you will have to replace your Jerry Lewis VCR tapes collection
A funny thing happened on my way to our local electronic/appliance superstore to replace our 19" RCA TV and VCR--I got two of the best devices ever in the electronics area. I won't get into the TV story here (a JVC 27") but will discuss the...
Pros: Ease of use, great features, attractive price Cons: I'm happy with it
Many of my friends have purchased DVD players over the past year. I've noticed though the prices have dropped the average cost of the most popular players ranged from $199.00 to $250.00. The more expensive units generally circled within the...
Pros: Bargain Price! Feature-packed for an entry level machine! Cons: Average Remote
I never did consider buying a DVD player until my parents decided to come visit me in the U.S. from Singapore - they intended to stay a month or two and i figured I needed to get some great inhouse entertainment. My dad also had a bunch of VCDs (video...
Pros: Extremely Sharp Image Quality and Unbelievable Sound Reproduction Cons: The price wasn't exactly cheap BUT you get what you pay for
This is one DVD player that is able to bring the picture quality to new heights and the sound to unbelievable levels of realism. No more hisses, pops, cracks, unstable tracking, distorted or low sound, white snow outs, or poor picture quality.
Pros: simple, hit the feature set sweet spot Cons: inferior build quality
This player has all the features important for integration in a well-heeled home theater system, but the build quality is inferior and the unit is poorly designed.
First, the good stuff
It has ColorStream component outputs (Y P/Cb P/Cr)...
6 months ago, I got fed up with my VCRs. They ate tapes, picture quality wasn't great, and I hated to rewind rental movies. So I plunged into researching DVD's and visited dozens of websites and local stores. Read dozens, maybe even hundreds of...
Well, we bought this DVD player yesterday at Best Buys and all I can say is WOW. This is one of Toshiba's less expensive DVD players, it only costs $209.00 which included a 4 year warranty. We just bought a new surround sound system, so we figure we...
Pros: Low cost, simple operation, zoom function Cons: Slow performance, frustrating search function, lack of optical digital audio output, worthless remote control, may not play all DVDs
The preface to this review begins in 1998, when I jumped on the DVD bandwagon with a very expensive mid-range player (the Panasonic A-310) after reading numerous rave reviews for it. As I look at the dozens of glowing reviews for the Toshiba SD-1200, I...
Pros: build quality, good picture, price Cons: lack of features
I purchased my Toshiba SD1200 DVD player a while back because I had read numerous articles in magazines, such as Home Theater, that raved about the Toshiba products. After lazily researching most of the DVD players out there, I narrowed my choice...
Pros: Zoom, Picture excellent with the "black enhancement", DVD/CD Text, S-Video, Analog, or Parallel Video output. Cons: It won't play CD-R's, Slow response time, remote is terrible, Looks cheap,
After constantly searching for a DVD player to buy, I finally decided on the Toshiba SD-1200 because:
A.Toshiba is a recordable company.
B.It has the zoom feature, so the picture fills your whole screen.
C.Because it was recommended...
