Toshiba SD-2109 DVD Player

Pros: Easy, reliable, inexpensive
Cons: Remote lacks umpf

I bought this player as an entry level system into the ever-expanding world of DVD, and I have been very pleased. It does not have a Dolby Digital Decoder like it's more expensive counterparts, but contrary to popular belief, a decoder is only necessary...

Pros: Great picture detail, component out, great value
Cons: Scan mode could be improved

The Toshiba is the second DVD player that I have bought, and one of many that I have auditioned. I was very impressed with the sharpness and clarity of the picture, even when using a basic RCA video cable. But it gets even better, because this player...

Pros: Great quality of output
Cons: Lousy remote

I liked this player; it has nice output both audio and video. I don't have a super fancy stereo or TV but I can definitely tell the difference between this unit and my friend's $150 no-name special player. My only real complaint is the remote; I just...

Pros: some extras
Cons: expensive

I don't know what the hype is about DVD players. They say that they are so much better than VCRs. They say they have better sound and graphics. personally I don't really see the difference. They may have easier fast forwarding and rewinding plus a...

Pros: Easy to use, good picture quality
Cons: No multi disc, no cdrw support

I recently decided to build a home theatre system. Of course a dvd player is a must. I compared the toshiba with other dvd players but this one struck me as the best deal. I purchased this item for $250. So far I think its great. You can play all kinds...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: confusing hookup

My husband and I bought this DVD player as a Christmas present for ourselves. We got a great price on it, so it made it even better.
We have watched many movies on it since we got it, and love this DVD player.
I am not usually good with new...

Pros: Component video, price, picture quality
Cons: fast forward/reverse accuracy and lack of audio at 2x

I bought this to replace a Panasonic A110 that had the optical pickup problem after a year and a half of flawless operation (my A110 was one of the first ones that came in stock in our area and worked on the discs that other persons complained wouldn't...

Pros: compact, nice digital display
Cons: most functions are accessable only by remote

I really wanted a DVD player, I have for a long time. We finally selected the Toshiba because we have a home entertainment center of the same brand.

The dvd is nice - but I can't credit that all to the player itself. The player has a remote...

Pros: price, options
Cons: remote

I love this player. It has all the options of pricier models yet is quite affordable. A great find. The remote is the a bit cumbersome but that can be easily overcome. The buttons are small and often hard to use with looking straight at the remote. The...

Pros: Easy use, no frills. Good value
Cons: Little dull looking..

Around 18 months ago, I, like a number of others, was gripped by the debate as to whether or not it was worth splashing out 300 pounds on a machine that could only play movies, and not record... And would the supposed huge advantage in picture quality...

Pros: Great Value, Great Performance
Cons: small remote

If your in the market for a dvd player and your on a limited income than this is the player for you. I purchased this unit the first week it was available in connecticut and have not been dissappointed yet. As a dvd player for the money it is a far...

Pros: great picture quality
Cons: no optical digital output

I bought the Toshiba SD2109 as my first DVD player. I already had a receiver/amplifier with Dolby 5.1 and DTS decoders so I needed a DVD player with a digital out to match my receiver.

Using the player is not much more difficult than using a...

Pros: new, no rewinding
Cons: No different than vcr quality

Other than the novelty of having a dvd player, I don't see a difference as far as picture quality between this and my vcr. My husband has fun changing the picture angles and fast forwarding the movies to different scenes, but I find these things really...

Pros: Cheap; stellar audio and video quality
Cons: Poor remote

How much did I agonize over my DVD player purchase? How much time did I waste in Usenet newsgroups poring over the Toshiba v. Panasonic debate? Water under the bridge.

I'm happy with my choice -- although I have the 2108, not the 2109, it's...

Pros: easy to use, 3x zoom
Cons: none!

No joking, this piece of electronics heaven will definitely change the way you watch movies. As soon as I received it, I was lucky enough to view the Matrix first and it really is amazing how clear and crisp DVD movies are.
