Enjoy rich, full-bodied surround sound from a stylish, slim-design system with Toshiba's SD-43HT. The system consists of an audio/video receiver coupled with a single-disc DVD player, a 5.1-channel speaker package, and a powered subwoofer. The DVD player is equipped with a progressive-scan output for superlative images on high-definition and HD-ready televisions, and in addition to full surround processing the system also plays your homemade CDs filled with MP3, WMA, and JPEG sound and image files.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-43HT's ColorStream Pro DVD player stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

The SD-43HT also features Toshiba's Digital Cinema Progressive feature (3:2 pulldown). DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The speaker package features four satellite speakers with 3-inch drivers (front and surround left/right, powered by 50 watts apiece), a larger center-channel speaker (for handling most dialogue and critical sound effects, also 50 watts), and a 70-watt, 8-inch subwoofer to drive home the foundation-shaking bass effects of your favorite movies. Surround processing includes decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II (which generates surround output from stereo sources), and an optical digital-audio output facilitates hookup with a CD recorder or alternate surround processor.

The Digital Photo Viewer lets you see digital JPEG photographs on any television; an intuitive onscreen display helps you customize slideshows with a few simple clicks of the remote. You can zoom, rotate, and pan the photos, as well as set the actual viewing time of each slide. Other features include black-level expansion (which enables the DVD player to output a 0 IRE signal for richer, deeper black tones than standard players), picture zoom, two auxiliary video inputs (one with S-video) for your VCR or other devices, and a preset remote control. The color-coded connections add convenience and make set-up a snap.

could be a little better
pictur is great (in p-scan, of corese) it plays DVD+RW and +R (+R MUST be finelesed first) and it looks prity cool too.
but the sound is not as good as it should have been: its hardand somwhat cold and there is no tone control.
but overall its not bad.

Hello...Protection...Goodbye
As others have mentioned, this machine fails with no warning.

Mine failed after less than 40 uses.Toshiba's reply was
essentially, "Have a nice day."

This is a known problem and Toshiba could care less.

So scratch Toshiba off of my list.I will not buy their products
again.

Good while it lasts -- but they don't last
Up until a couple days ago I would have rated this home theater system at 4 or 5 stars. It has component video out and DVDs look great on my HDTV set. The sound is pretty good, not very loud however. The subwoofer puts out very weak bass but the surround sound works well. The DVD tray takes a very long time to open. The reason why I rated this at one star is that it lasted only 3 months longer than the one-year warranty. Others have mentioned the problem: you power up the system, it displays "HELLO" as usual. Then the display reads "PROTECTION", followed by "GOODBYE", and then the system shuts itself down. In my case, the system was working fine and then out of the blue it shut itself down. There is no reason for this to have happened. I called Toshiba and they had me power down and then power up my system. It didn't help. Then they had me unplug every wire from the system and let it sit for 1/2 hour, and try it again. No luck. They gave me the number for a repair service, but using the repair service will cost almost as much as the system does. When a piece of electronics can barely last longer than the warranty, you know you have a piece of junk on your hands. There is no other way to put it. I intend to join the class action suit. I have purchased a Samsung HT-DS610 from Circuit City and I hope it is of better quality.

I got the protection fault
I have two systems.One has worked fine for probably about a year.But the second newer one just got the same "HELLO PROTECTION GOODBYE" fault that so many people seem to be getting.

The class action suit looks like it is at:
http://www.dvdnotice.com/

I'm not sure how directly it addresses this problem, but looks worth checking out.Deadline for claim forms is May 1, 2005

Same Protection Fault
I am not sure that it lasted more than a month. I don't use it much and am so disappointed that not only do I need to get a new DVD player, but I need a new stereo receiver since I replaced my receiver when I got this system. I will have to look into that class action lawsuit. Save your money do not buy this. The speakers seem pretty good though, so I would like to save them. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

Get the most from your DVDs and CDs with Toshiba's SD-3800 single-disc DVD player, whose ultimate Super ColorStream Pro progressive-scan component-video outputs produce seamless, flicker-free images with high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Built-in MP3 decoding let you compile music on your PC and listen to it on your stereo or TV, and you can even watch customized digital-picture slideshows using recordable CDs filled with standard JPEG image files.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-3800's Digital Cinema Progressive feature delivers the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Digital Cinema Progressive also includes 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion. Conventional composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

Grayscale in video is measured and tracked on a scale of 0 (black) to 100 (white) IRE units. A picture's NTSC video black cutoff level is traditionally assigned a 7.5 IRE value. The SD-3800's "expanded" mode lets the player output a 0 IRE signal for richer, deeper black tones in every image. PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generation Equipment) delivers black as well as below-black signals to televisions with exceptionally high contrast ratios.

The Toshiba Digital Photo Viewer lets you enjoy digital photographs on your television. The viewer supports a variety of popular digital formats, including Konica, Fuji Photo, Kodak Picture CD, as well as standard JPEG files created on a home PC. An intuitive onscreen display assists you in creating customized slideshows with just a few simple clicks of the remote. You can set the viewing time for each "slide," zoom in on parts of images, and rotate and pan the photos.

Onboard NAVI user interface uses graphical icons (rather than simple text) for quick access to key functions. The system includes an onscreen "virtual remote control," an angle viewer for titles encoded with multiple camera angles, preview for creation of thumbnail chapter views, strobe for a breakdown of a particular scene, and capture, which lets you choose custom wallpaper.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player's internal digital-to-analog converters work at 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution to ensure optimum sonic quality from a range of digital program material.

Enhanced Audio Mode (E.A.M.) offers three sound settings: normal (off), 3-D (virtual surround sound enhancement), and dialogue expander (which enhances center-channel frequencies in the range of human voices during playback of multichannel content). Other playback options include picture zoom (which lets you magnify a select area of an image) and parental lock.

Nice, but..
Great performance and picture, though has the annoying habit of occasionally locking up during load/unload, have to pull the power plug (and dismember entertainment center to get at it) in order to regain control.

Excellent progressive scan DVD player
I bought the SD3800 to go with my Toshiba 57H82 HDTV. There was an obvious improvement in the picture and clarity over my old Toshiba 1600 which played many enjoyable DVDs. The SD3800 upconverts to 540 and that matches the Toshiba HDTV. It was easy to set up and has worked great for the last month. The remote is nice and large with easy access to buttons. It allows easy adjustment of audio settings and provides zoom controls that help you to fit the screen to your TV if you need it. It is nice and compact and fits well on top of my TV. There are many choices and you can find good info at [website]to help you make your decision.

Fine progressive scan DVD player at a bargain price.
Toshiba makes top-notch DVD players with an excellent reputation for outstanding performance as well as quality and reliability. The SD3800 has these desirable characteristics plus component video output for better picture quality and progressive scan technology for compatibility with HDTVs, all at a bargain price. You may not have an HDTV yet but you probably will have one within a year or two, so why not be prepared with a progressive scan DVD player when you can get one this good at such a low price? And the component video output will improve the picture quality even on non-HDTVs. This player is an outstanding performer at a terrific price.

My first DVD player; great so far; sound is very low
After countless review reading for DVD players, I was set on either a Panasonic or Toshiba NON-PROGRESSIVE SCAN DVD player as my first. ... Luckily, I had a chance to buy this one WITH PRGRESSIVE SCAN..., so I grabbed it.

After pummeling the DVD player in its first 1-2 weeks of ownership with about 20 hours straight of Stargate SG-1 DVD collection viewing and rental movies, I can safely say that it's a great buy.

The menus are easy to use for setup, and the unit features nice zoom and image capture features, if you need that stuff. The documentation for some of the features could be a little better, as I couldn't find the section on storing bookmarks or memorized DVD chapters for viewing later. That may be something that I'll find on my laptop DVD player and software rather than a standalone unit.

Finally, the sound, through my piddly RCA-jack-only TV is VERY LOW. I have to turn the TV up about 5 extra notches to hear the dialogue on movies. There is a dialogue enhancement mode for sound, however, that helps with the quietest rentals that I've enjoyed.

Bottom line -- a great DVD player, if you can get it at a [good] price. Too bad it doesn't come in black.

Excellent DVD Player
I Love this DVD player. I used to have problems with DVD's skipping if they were scratched from the rental store, but have never had a problem with this machine. I also like how you can set the DVD player to beep every time you choose a command. This DVD player is full of features and an excellent product. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The stylish and compact 14VL43U offers a 20-inch, 4:3 LCD screen, an internal NTSC tuner for convenient broadcast-television viewing, and a 640 x 480-resolution picture. It's an EDTV, not a computer monitor--easily moveable and equipped to render vivid images from cable or antenna feeds as well as seamless, flicker-free pictures from progressive-scan DVD players and satellite receivers. Image quality is enhanced by a four-line digital comb filter, a high (400:1) contrast ratio, and impressive peak brightness of 500 candles/square meter.

The 14VL43U goes simply from room to room, and you can set the TV on a table or mount it on a wall (using an optional wall bracket). It emits exactly zero radioactivity, too, so you can sit as far or near as inclination or viewing space dictates. The 14VL43U features Toshiba's proprietary ColorStream HD component-video inputs capable of receiving both 480i and 480p signals. Composite- and S-video inputs (with accompanying left/right analog audio jacks) ensure compatibility with a range of audio/video equipment. The built-in NTSC tuner gives 181-channel tuning for convenient broadcast-TV viewing, and a set of AV output jacks lets you hook the TV into an audio receiver for listening over home speakers.

SRS WOW sound enhancement offers a combination of three types of processing. SRS 3D creates a wide, three-dimensional sound from two TV speakers. TruBass boosts bass-frequency perception for more dramatic low-frequency effects. And FOCUS raises the perceived sound image vertically to create clearer voices, even at lower volume levels. The combination of these features dramatically improves home-theater sound. A headphone jack fosters private listening.

Its unique space-saving tilt-panel design provides 160-degree viewing angles, and the television also offers an on/off timer, parental controls, closed captioning, and a handy remote control.

Great TV if you're looking for an LCD flat panel!
I spent a great deal of time looking at flat-panel, 20" televisions before settling on the Toshiba. The starting price on the Toshiba was higher than comparable sets when it hit the market, but now the prices on all have dropped to about the same point, so price (when compared with other 20" LCDs) is not the issue it once was.

The picture on most sets is similar (I watched several sets in two different stores for quite a while), but I thought the Toshiba had a slight edge. In addition, unlike many sets, the Toshiba's screen tilts, just as most computer monitors would. Therefore, you can adjust it to get the best possible viewing angle.

The Toshiba also has very easy-to reach connections, whereas several other sets require the removal of a large panel to use. There's a small panel on the Toshiba that hides the D/C power and cable connections, but the panel can be replaced over the cords. WIth many sets, you have to leave the panel off while the cords are plugged in--so what's the point of the panel?

Summary: fantastic and clear picture, very lightweight at only 14 lbs, easy-to-move (even has a handle, unlike some flat-panel sets), hooks up in less than two minutes (VERY simple), easy-to-understand remote, and easy on-screen programming that anyone can figure out. Highly recommended!! ... Read more

Easy to use, dependable, affordable.
I've owned this camera for more than a year, and use it several times a week.It's easy to use, very dependable (I run it with rechargable AA batteries) and the price, even when I initially bought it, was right.It's even more affordable now.I recommend the Toshiba PDR 3320 as an excellent entry-level camera.

Plus and Minus
Good:
- Out of the box, this camera is dead easy to start using. From opening the box to taking my first shot it took all of ten minutes.

- Responsive zoom feature.

- Easy to use software (similar to Photoshop, etc.)

- Easy to interface camera and TV for slideshows. All the appropriate plugs are included.

Bad:

- Like many digital cameras, this model eats batteries. However, I think this one goes through them much faster than others I've experienced.

- Short battery life means that its useless to set the date because as soon as you change the batteries you have to re-set the date/time, which isn't easy because:

- The cross pad is not responsive. Its small size makes selecting menus options difficult.

- The manual is obviously written by non-English speakers. The poor syntax makes reading some of the instructions difficult.

- Long lag time between clicking the button and taking the picture.

Good quality, reasonable price
While a little on the chunky side, this camera does a really good job. Changing the image size and quality on the fly is very easy, so those shots that you will not need print resolution, you can switch to save space on your smartmedia card. The highest resolution will print out at 6x4 inches, with about 300dpi resolution -- just fine for snapshots. And with each image at the size weighing in at about 1MB, a 32MB card would hold about 32 images. My only beef so far with the camera is that the delay between pushing the shutter button and when the camera takes a picture is rather long, so it often misses some great moments.

Best digital Camera For the money!
I've tried my fair share of digital cameras in my day and i have to say,... this camera brings you 3.2 megapixels and great features.
This camera has 3x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom which will be more than enough for anyone short of a profesional photographer.
The only drawback to this camera is the memory card (8mb on a 3.2 megapixel camera won't get you too many pictures) and the LCD display: I've noticed its always easier to use the viewfinder to take pictures and use the LCD display to review them.

First time user of a digital/still camera

Amazon.com Product Description

Toshiba gives consumers enhanced digital technology for a minimum price with their SD3755 progressive-scan DVD player. Capable of DVD, CD, MP3, CD-R/RW and DVD-R playback, this player is great for movies, music, and DVD transfers of your home movies.

A 10-bit, high-sampling 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter quickly and accurately reproduces video for high-quality pictures, abetted by Toshiba's stellar ColorStream Pro progressive-scan component-video output with Cinema Mode (3:2 pulldown). The player offers parallel video outputs (interlaced) for serving multiple rooms and 500 lines of horizontal resolution.

Likewise, a 24-bit, 192 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter runs at twice the frequency of conventional DVD player audio DACs to provide superior sound reproduction from DVD-Videos and CDs. Optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs facilitate hookup with a surround receiver for either Dolby Digital or DTS decoding.

Additional features include progressive-scan video, which displays non-interlaced video with compatible TVs for smoother pictures with reduced flicker. Toshiba's 3-D Virtual Surround Sound simulates a four-speaker surround system using only two.

The SD3755 offers plenty of playback options as well, including an onscreen menu, strobe display, preview, multiple angles, 4-power zoom, and four scan speeds (up to 100x playback). ... Read more

Best for the Money
After several hours I came to the conclusion that I am going to wait until I am sure what features the Toshiba SD3755 actually has! No where in any of your ads is there mention of a player having DVD, DVD-R, CD, CD-R and MP3 capability in the same place. Maybe you should check your advertizements.
I liked the 'Progressive-Scan' feature, I wanted a multi-disc player and I wanted it to be capable of 'DVD-R, CD-R and MP3' in the same player. I would have been more tempted if it had 'HDCD'. It would be easier to play MP3's if the filename was more than 8 characters. On the SD3750 there is mention of an 'Advanced Menu System' and an 'Advanced Remote' where there is no mention of these features on the SD3755, are they there?

My First DVD Player
Overall, an excellent purchase and an excellent value. I began shopping for a DVD player when my old 5-disk CD player died. I comparison shopped for a DVD player that offered some of the more advanced features including progressive video (even though my TV is not compatible with this feature). I also liked the capability of this player to play DVD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3 -- all of which have functioned very well (I have not tested the MP3 player). This unit has just about every feature higher priced units have with the exception of HDTV capability and dolby decoder (which your amplifier is probably capable of decoding) and without the higher price. The DVD player was crystal clear and the playback/FF/FR/Zoom functions were fairly simple.

CONS:
1)the component only comes in a gun-metal silver color:
2)To visualize some of the actions taken by pressing function keys on the unit , you must also have your TV monitor turned on -- even for simple playback of audio CDs (for example, to play 5 audio CDs randomly you maust have the TV on to be certain you pushed the random button the appropriate number of times)
3)I am an inpatient person, and some of the functions (open/close) appear to engage slowly

Admittedly my cons are miniscule compared to the overall capablity and performance of this unit. Therefore, if you do not mind the color, I fully recommend this unit.

Toshiba is a winner with me
I keep buying Toshiba products because I have NEVER had a problem with any of them. I have two 36 inch TVs, a VCR, a single disc DVD player, this 5 disc DVD player, and a laptop computer - all Toshiba. I don't own stock in the company, either. As far as this DVD player is concerned, I wanted a 5 disc player and looked at nothing but Toshiba's offerings. I picked this little gem up and have been very happy with it for over two years. I honestly can't think of a single instance when this thing didn't do what it is supposed to do. Of course, I did read the manual before I hooked it up.

The Worst Piece of Electronic Equipment I've EVER Purchased!
Just forget it. Don't buy it, period. I've had two in the past year. The first broke within one week of receipt and it took Toshiba Customer Service more than TWO MONTHS to replace it. The replacement unit broke within a month. Toshiba Customer Service was awful - a totally anti-consumer attitude. Thanks to this inferior product, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM TOSHIBA EVER AGAIN!

It was great until it stopped working
A couple of months into owning this DVD player, it started to skip on some DVD's. Eventually it got bad enough to where it wouldn't play any disc's at all, it only gives me an error on the front saying "disc error" even with brand new dvd's.

doh! ... Read more
