| DVD-R NO NO - Scores 1/5
I purchased this for my dad so he could watch all the old tv shows on disc via divx. Unfortunately much like the previous poster states, it does not like copied media. I tried verbatim and datawrite discs and both gave the same result: jerkiness of picture and a random loss of sound.
I have a targa divx player that plays everything and gives no trouble whatsoever. | REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 14 AUGUST 2008 |

| GOOD FOR ORIGINALS BUT ANYTHING ON DVD-R FORGET IT - Scores 2/5
While this is a nice DVD player if you are playing originals the moment you put a DVD-R into the drive you enter a world of problems. Avoid at all costs. | REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 10 AUGUST 2008 |

| GREAT BARGAIN PRICE DVD PLAYER - Scores 5/5
Having been very happy with Toshiba products in the past- a microwave oven which finally had to be replaced after 24 years and my Toshiba rear projection tv, I decided to replace my Phillips player which died exactly one week after the 12 month expiry. As I have a huge collection of dvds from diferent regions, the first port of call was the multi-region hack. This was accomplished in seconds. The box says that it will play dvd-r's that are recorded on a dvd recorder but might not play others. However it plays the several PC recorded dvd-r's I've so far tried perfectly. Highly recommended. I just hope Toshiba are still building their products with the same durability I've come to expect and appreciate. | REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 25 JUNE 2008 |

| TOSHIBA SD280E - DVD PLAYER - Scores 4/5
Good little player. Excellent picture and sound quality on standard shop bought DVDs. Easily converts to multi-region as reported by other reviewers so I can play my 30+ DVDs sourced in the USA. Does struggle with DVDs from other recorders though. DVD-Rs can 'jump' and sometimes pixelate. Warning! this player will NOT play DVD-RW 'VR' or DVD-RAM discs. So all the discs I created and edited to remove the adverts, will not play. I confirmed this with Toshiba technical support. Still a nice well-built player for the money though. | REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 19 JUNE 2008 |
