Editorial Reviews :
Toshiba's SD2715 DVD-Video player offers all of the standard Toshiba DVD features, including parallel video output, Dolby Digital and DTS digital-audio outputs, Spatializer N-2-2 virtual surround sound, three slow-motion speeds, and an icon-based onscreen display. But on this model, they've gone one step further by accommodating MP3-encoded CDs as well as playing DVD-Video, DVD-R, CD, Video CD, and Audio CD-R.
Another key feature is Toshiba's ColorStream component-video output. This connection is the ideal way to connect a digital video source like DVD to a TV display, resulting in increased image purity, incredibly lifelike colors, and crisp color resolutions. The 10-bit video D/A converter with high-resolution filter ensures excellent picture quality, while the 24-bit/192 kHz audio converter with dialog enhancement renders clear and dynamic sound reproduction.
Some of the more convenient features are two forward- and reverse-scan speeds and a bookmarking feature to help you keep track of your favorite onscreen moments.
Parental lock, time search, camera angle select, and 4-power picture zoom are all included on this model, as are S-video, composite-video, and analog, as well as a coaxial digital-audio output, giving you a wide range of connection options.
The SD2715 comes with a remote control and a one-year warranty on parts and labor from Toshiba.
Buyer Reviews :
I researched MANY DVD players, and after much deliberation, I decided to give the Toshiba SD-2715 a try.
I had it connected to my TV and up and running in just a few mintues. The picture and audio quality were great. I had never used a 'zoom' mode DVD player before, and this feature was a nice surprise that might come in handy once in a while. You can pause the movie and then zoom in to check the monogram on a shirt button, or just let the movie play while you zoom in and pan around the screen with the navigation arrows. Very cool.
The first negative thing I noticed was how SLOW this player is to identify and load a disc. It literally takes 20 seconds to figure out what kind of disc it's reading and to start playing. I tried VCD's and MP3 CD's created with my CD-RW drive on my computer, and a variety of different DVD's. So far, it has played EVERYTHING I've thrown at it... but again, the load speed is excruciatingly ssslllloooowwwww.
The only other negative is that it won't play MP3 files in random order. Who wants to listen to an MP3 CD with 250 songs on it in the SAME ORDER EVERY TIME? I'm glad it plays MP3's at all, of course, but I don't know how often I'll use this feature when there is no way to randomize the playlist.
Post purchase, I've done some research online... and so far I've only found ONE other DVD player that will actually play MP3's randomly (APEX 1500). I'm sure there are others, but I doubt that they will have all of the other positive features of this player. It's a good buy.
