Toshiba SD6100 1080p Upconverting DVD Player

After looking and searching for an Upconverting DVD player, I chose this one from Toshiba as it had a lot of features and despite some bad reviews from others, it still had more good than bad. Picture quality is wonderful. I bought a Belkin HDMI cable and the quality is fabulous. The player is neat and sleek. It is a bit noisy when reading the DVDs but once the show starts you barely hear anything. Great product.

We purchased this product (and a replacement) to go with our 42-inch 1080p REGZA LCD TV. It didn't work either time -- terrible quality and then constant freeze frame issues or it would just stop altogether. It didn't like any movie format.

I ended up buying a SONY upscaling DVD player and have been very pleased with it. It handles all formats with no issues.

Sorry, Toshiba. Would have liked to have stayed with a product that went along with our TV, but just couldn't recommend this one!

The picture and audio quality from this seem great to me. However, there are a few issues that will probably force me to return the player. First, there is a high-pitched oscillating hum coming from the player while it is on standby. It also seems to be causing RF interference - I think these two problems are linked. Additionally, the player is fairly noisy while it is actually playing. This might be okay if you have a big home theater setup and don't sit too close to the player, but in our small apartment setup the noise is very noticeable and distracting.

I don't think this is a defect related to my player specifically - I've read similar reviews elsewhere online.

The SD6100 replaced my old Toshiba DVD player (purchased when DVD's were first introduced) because I got a new HDTV. The old player still works and never gave me ANY trouble, so I stayed with Toshiba. Have had this unit for about 4 months and am very pleased with it's performance. It was very easy to install, looks great, and delivers a sparkling picture (all for a very low price). Blu Ray MAY BE the future, but for now this unit delivers all you could want for a small fraction of the price.

Anyone looking for a DVD player, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!
I had this product for four months until it stopped playing DVD's. After following all the steps on the website,
I tried calling the actual helpline. I was told there was nothing they could do other than offer me an exchange that would cost me half the price of the original one that I purchased. Went back to Sony, never should have left.
