Toshiba SD-2109 DVD Player

Pros: Durability, sound quality, and Picture
Cons: Lack of MP3/VCD support

My wife bought my DVD player for my birthday over 2 years ago, about a month before my daughter was born (September). She didn't want to but it at first, but after alot of persistance, she caved. Truth be known I think she was too pregnant to put up much...

Pros: Excellent video, 4x zoom
Cons: Small remote and can't play CD-R CD-RW or VCD

Two years ago, I did a lot of research and after comparing features and prices, I decide to get the Toshiba 2109. At that time this was considered a second generation machine. Although I paid $249 then, I was able to send in an offer for 5 dvds....

Pros: Clear picture, precise crisp sound
Cons: Very sensitive to scratched CD's

I have owned this DVD player for 2 years now and I have yet to have a problem with it. The fantastic clear picture I had when it was first purchased is still the same quality I get when I watch it today. This DVD player came with a very clear concise ...

Pros: Great picture and sound, easy to use, excellent features.
Cons: I honestly haven't found any yet!

Let me just say i love this DVD player. Although the Toshiba line of DVD players is very extensive and this is only a entry to mid-range model it is by far my favorite from the numerous Toshiba's I've looked at.

the SD-2109 has many...

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: 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: DTS and Dolby Digital. Coaxial and optical audio outputs.
Cons: No VCD or CD-R playback. Slow tray movement.

This is a no frills player that produces very good quality pictures and sound. The outputs are all sensible. There are now many better equiped players for the same price. The remote is very small and the most frequently used functions are hard to find -...

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: FEATURES GALORE!
Cons: not enough panel control

I purchased this product for the feature set, plain and simple. When I was shopping for a DVD player, I wanted a low priced, high-featured unit. With the Toshiba SD-2109, I got it! I got multiple aspect ratio, separated color output, zoom,...

Pros: Great Value
Cons: Remote

I have had this player since last Christmas, and I have been nothing but satisfied with it. When I was first looking at purchasing a DVD player, I thought I would have to spend a lot to get a great player with great picture quality. I think this has is a...

Pros: Aspect Ratio, Component, Quality of Picture
Cons: Speed

I got this nice machine in January 2000 refurbished and on an online auction. I got it for at the time an unbeatable price of $155.00. This player is truly a work horse. I have older DVD's and new ones with large aspect ratios, the SD2109 handles all of...

Pros: Simple use, great for any scale home theater
Cons: remote is small and hard to use

I purchased my 2109 over a year ago, and have not regretted it since. Many other people I know have bought other DVD players and have had very different experiences. Nothing comes simple anymore, and this DVD player is no different. I was looking for...

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: 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, nice features
Cons: freezes once in a while (may be DVD and not the player)

After doing some research at various places, this one seemed the best buy for what I wanted to spend. I haven't really had any troubles with it. Occasionally, the frame will freeze in the middle of a scene for about a second, but I don't know if that's...
