Can anybody tell me which Toshiba DVD player is the best to buy? What do I need to know.

It depends what you are looking for. I needed an all regions player and it seemed to provide that, but it did not last long and I replaced it with Sony which seems more solid.

I bought this one twice and I'm happy with it. A friend of mine accidentally broke the first one when he plugged it into the outlet in Japan (after I told him not to) but when we returned to America, I immediately bought it again. It works great. I can't think of anything wrong with it and we can watch movies from all over.

No DVD/CD players in Netbooks One of the reasons they are cheaper[I have 2 and am happy with them but you need an external drive if you want to play games/movies] If that usage is important buy a laptop.

Ye, I also have the Toshib Portable dvd for this, and it works very well! I've used mine many-many times. However...it seems that the Toshiba laptop works best with another Toshibs brand. I bought my Toshiba Portable dvd from amazon!

Ben,My guess is that most TV's nowadays do both 110 and 240 v ...Lior,I just ordered it. What convinced me is that the reviews for other Toshiba TV's (both LED and LCD) are all over 4 stars... I also saw that it is going up in the bestselling TV's ranking on amazon, so I was worried t might get sold out. This deal with free 3-D blu ray and 3-d glasses, free shipping and the exta 20% discount coupo I got in the mail just made it an amazing offer!

Hey Guys,Thanks for the advice. I ended up going with the 983. I expect to receive it mid April. I actually had a Toshiba D3 but I just recently sold it with my HD collection. As I have quite a large collection of SD DVD's it made sense to go with the best quality upconverting player available especially as there would be quite a noticible PQ difference on a 72" display. The plan now is to pick up a cheap Blue Ray player during thanksgiving or boxing day sales which I will use purely for Blue Ray while the 983 will be uses for everything else.

Thanks for your reply. I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks and I'm able to record everything off the DVR. I had to call Toshiba twice because I didn't know what I was doing. Their customer service was incredible!! I will definitely buy Toshiba products again.Just wondering... why would you use DVD+R disks? Am I correct that those cannot be used again? I've used DVD+RW.One more question... is there a way to delete shows that are on the DVD without formatting the disk? Like if I have watched some shows but not others and I want to record more.Thanks for your help Thanks for your reply.

So no current Toshiba HD-DVD players (A2, A3, A30, A35, x2, etc) can play my non-US DVDs? Like my region3 Asian DVDs or my region2 japanese anime? Can any high-definition dvd-player (blu ray or HD DVD) play other-region standard DVDs?

I just purchased a Toshiba D-VR610 DVD/VCR recorder (tunerless), for the purpose of copying my VHS tapes to DVD. Other than a poorly-written manual, I like the unit. I'm using rewriteable DVDs, so that I can learn how to use the unit without wasting DVDs.If you read through all of the reviews on the various websites (Amazon, Bestbuy, etc), you will find that this unit gets high marks by customers, whereas most other brands have various issues.

Thanks. Seems like each of these makes has its quirks. I just gave away on old (4 years) Toshiba DVD recorder that did OK for its time, but the menus were very unintuitive, and the manual was in broken english. I guess I could always pick up a D-R410 at Fry's and if I don't like it, return for the Panny when it's in stock. Fry's also has a Sony RDR-GX360 for the same price as the Panasonic, and it seems to have the same ins/outs and upconversion, but I can only find one user review out there and it was bad. I hear that Sonys are picky about the DVD brand you use, plus they're the "source" for the industry restrictions on recording HD, so I don't want to support them. Thanks.

I don't know as we don't use bluray. I will tell you however that overall we are not happy with ours. It buffers a lot on normal dvd's, and now it is not playing the dvd's I bought it for very well. Also if you stop it to clean the dvd's you have to start the disk over again. We ended up just going back to our 15 year old sony and I am looking for the dvd's made for our region to replace the others that don't work now. I am not happy with Toshiba as a whole. I bought a Toshiba lap top and finally sold it to a friend and got myself a little gateway.

Absolutely no clue. I don't own a Toshiba TV/DVD. I have a Phillips VCR/DVD combination. Therefore I bought a Phillips remote. I know less than nothing about any other devices.

I have found DvdFab to be the best for me. It's a little expensive but it works great.

I have a Magnavox MDV456 DVD player... it's about 3 years old and uses Progressive Scan. The pictures quality is very good, but it says it uses only 480p resolution. Is this the maximum for this DVD player or can I change the settings around on the Toshiba?

Brit ... FYI, here is a review on the Oppo DV-983H:http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/cd-dvd-player-product-reviews/dvd-players/oppo-digital-dv-983h-dvd-player---a-secrets-dvd-benchmark-review.html

Here is the link to the DVD player that I reviewed. I do not know who the manufacturer is. ICOM is the label on the actual DVD player itself (even though the listing on Amazon is TMVEL). I have not considered service and support...I was just looking for a player that could play all regions, BluRay and 3D...this was the only one I could find at a low price. I suppose that if it does break down and I cannot fix it myself, I will just purchase another.
