Toshiba SD-2109 DVD Player

Pros: Great buy for the price, and zooming is lots of fun.
Cons: No decoder, but I don't need one.

You have to love Toshiba. First they basically invent the DVD, and all of their products are 100% user friendly.

This DVD player is an outstanding buy. With the low price that you can get it for these days, I would argue that it is the best...

Pros: every feature desired, low cost, solid performer
Cons: doesn't look real hi-tech or cool

A full array of output options - I used S-Video and analog audio until I updated my pre-amp and went with component video and digital audio. Both options worked quite well and looked/sounded great. Of course the latter pair looked/sounded better - and...

Pros: ease of use, features
Cons: one disk at a time

If you are interested in the pure picture and virtual surround sound of DVD but cannot afford a $500 DVD player, the Toshiba SD-2109 is for you.
I had a prior DVD that cost the same but did not create the same high resolution picture. It also did...

Pros: Crisp, sharp audio and video
Cons: None

For about 4 months I struggled, watching my DVDs only on my iMac. The 15" screen, the sync problems, the crummy pixellation, and the tinny sound all drove me up the wall. I invested first in a scan rate convertor, but that reproduced color very...

Pros: Great Sound Great Picture
Cons: no mic jack, no video disk

This is a great value dvd player. It has great crisp quality resolution, and is very user friendly. The remote has many differnt features, but is easy to use as well. The sound is incredible. I would definately recommend it for anyone who is...

Pros: Great performance
Cons: difficult to operate

My husband went on and on about wanting a DVD....so, I gave in and got him one for his birthday in Oct......I shopped around and was taken aback at some of the prices for these toys!! Well, I shopped further and found a Toshiba at REX for 300.00....I...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use
Cons: No optical connector, annoying remote beeps

After concluding that my foray into the world of DVD was long overdue, I decided to stick my toe in the water with a purchase of an inexpensive DVD player. I'd heard Toshiba made quality products for relatively little money, so I headed down to my local...

Pros: Accurate video/audio decoding, Dual disc tray, Colorstream outputs, On screen menu
Cons: No CD-R Audio Playback

Toshiba is the forerunner on DVD technology. The ColorStream technology was developed by Toshiba, and today is the highest quality video connection offered by a DVD. This DVD player is no exception to Toshiba's technological innovations such as...

Pros: Component Video output, Zoom, reliability
Cons: Lack of multiple disc play

The Good:
The Toshiba line was the first (and to my way of thinking the best) to integrate Component Video output on their DVD player line. The 2109, while now the 'cheap' player in the line, still delivers a beautiful picture for less money than...

Pros: Great Audio and Video
Cons: Remote

I did a lot of research before buying this DVD player. I owned a Panasonic before this ( I was and early adopter of this format and the Panasonic I bought had the 5.1 channel analog outputs I was looking for at the time) and soon fund that the Panasonic...

Pros: picture quality, outward appearance
Cons: remote control is somewhat difficult to use

After a couple years since I heard of it, I decided to purchase a DVD player. I looked through the Sunday brochures and compared prices. I then paid a visit to some of the major retailers in my area. When asked which DVD player would be the best...

Pros: price, brand name, features
Cons: none

What great value for the money!! We received the Toshiba SD2109 DVD player as a gift in October, 1999 and have been thrilled with it ever since. It cost less than 300.00 and now we don't rent any VHS movies!! I was a doubter - I had heard very little...

Pros: Great Sound, Great picture, Great extras!!
Cons: Small buttons on remote, Universal remote will not work all functions.

I got this for Christmas, and let me tell you this DVD player from Toshiba, makes for an awesome home theater experience!

I have Direct/TV and a complete home theater surround system to boot. I have never heard the sound system sound so good...

Pros: Great picture and sound quality, ease of use
Cons: Small buttons and text on remote

If you're a relative novice at buying "digital" equipment or if you've been around the block a few times, this DVD player is definitely worth the investment. It sells for $100-$150 less than its Sony counterpart (which offers the SAME features)...

Pros: great quality, small prices
Cons: remote to small, fast forward speeds

When looking for a DVD player, most people think you're only choices are dirt cheap (and it shows) or extremely expensive with home theatre quality. The Toshiba SD2109 shows that there is a happy medium. This is a middle of the road system pricewise,...
