## Description

Product Description          The progressive-scan ColorStream component video output on the Toshiba Progressive Scan DVD Player will provide the ultimate DVD picture when combined with an HD or HD-ready TV. Optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs give you Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound capabilities. Features: MP3 and WMA-CD playpack; JPEG photo viewer; 3:2 pulldown; black-level expansion; multiple picture settings; 16X picture zoom; digital noise reduction; left/right analog-audio outputs (1 each coaxial and optical); internal digital-to-analog converter; dialogue enhancement and parental lock.             .com          Get the most from DVDs and CDs with Toshiba's SD-3950 single-disc DVD player, whose ultimate progressive-scan ColorStream Pro component-video outputs produce seamless, flicker-free images with high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding let you compile music on a PC and listen to it on a 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-3950 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, giving higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-3950 also performs 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. The "expanded" mode in the player's black-level setting produces richer, deeper black tones in every image. PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generation Equipment) delivers black as well as below-black signals to a television. 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 output (coaxial) 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 Power Picture Zoom (which lets you magnify a select area of an image), bookmarking (up to nine marks), and parental lock.What's in the Box DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

                     From the Manufacturer          With innovations that provide flawless picture performance, unequaled color detail, and studio-quality sound, Toshiba is your source for the very best in DVD, and the SD-3950 meets all your expectations and more. Features include:ColorStream (component video output): Offers a more than 200 percent improvement in color compared to an S-video output jack. These outputs allow the highest-quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component-video-equipped TV. When this connection is utilized, typical NTSC artifacts--like video noise and dot crawl--are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. Digital cinema progressive (3:2 pulldown): Delivers the smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television, such as an HD-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution. Video black level expansion: Provides greater contrast and richer black tones. PLUGE (picture line up generation equipment): Enables consumer to properly set brightness controls on their connected display device. Power picture zoom: This interactive feature allows you to select an area of the picture you want to zoom in on and magnify it. Enhanced digital processing during moving video or freeze-frame playback produces superior color fidelity and resolution, even when you're zoomed in. Also can be used to expand letterbox-only films to increase the viewable area on-screen. Coaxial and optical TosLink digital audio output: Sends the audio signal to an audio/video receiver in its digital form allowing access to the Dolby Digital/DTS track encoded on the DVD disc. MP3- and WMA-compatible audio playback: Expands the players' functionality to include playback of custom music collections encoded via MP3 or Windows Media Audio (WMA) digital audio format onto CD-R or CD-RW media. EAM (enhanced audio mode): Provides appropriate sound enhancement for different DVD technologies. JPEG viewer: The Toshiba JPEG viewer enables a user to display digital photographs, created on a personal computer in the JPEG digital format, on any television. An intuitive onscreen display assists in the creation of customized slideshows with a few simple clicks of the DVD player's remote control. Bookmarks: Players with this feature let users virtually mark favorite locations/scenes on discs inside the player. The bookmark feature provides quick access to those scenes the user wants to view again or demonstrate to a friend. Select players offer up to nine bookmarks for greater accessibility.

    Cheap?  No way -- this is the best value out there
  

*by I***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2004*

I purchased this several months ago from Amazon after reading all the reviews -- including the ones that complained of pixellation and out-of-box failure.  So I ordered this inexpensive unit with some reserve, and saved the box for months, thinking I might have to send it back.But no.  What I've found instead is that it reliably produces a stunningly-sharp, hi-def picture, and sends lovely, pure, unadulterated sound through to my surround receiver (Yamaha HTR-5650).  I've got it hooked to a Toshiba 42" widescreen HD-ready RPTV (42H83), with Monster component video cables, and I feed it a fairly fatty diet of 3-4 DVDs every week.  Not a pixel or a plip to be seen.Of course, DVDs of movies made pre-HD-era won't look as good.  Even this super-machine can't remove the grain from older discs.The remote is a bit cheesy, not worthy of the sleek player, and the buttons can be inscrutable in the dim light of a home-theatre room.  But that's a small quibble, considering the great value of this machine.I purchased this when my MUCH-more-expensive Sony 5-disc DVD player died after just 14 months.  The Sony will still play CDs, but I use it only as a "jukebox" when hosting dinner parties.  When I want to play a single CD or CD-R, whether 80s pop, Linken Park, Joni Mitchell, a Mozart aria, or carpet-rumbling classical pipe-organ music, this Toshiba unit leaves my Sony whimpering in tail-dragging shame.This is an amazing value, an absolute must-buy.  Already have a DVD player in your family room?  Buy this for your bedroom...and switch them when you get the chance.

    Good for the price but BAD in Heat tolerance
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2004*

Basically, I finally broke down and bought a DVD player because Teh PS2 was choppy, and I was tired of Getting up from my couch to control the DVD playing software on teh Computer.  With that being said, I decided to purchase a cheap DVD player just for the heck of it.  As for teh quality of the equipment, I have a mixed review.The Good:1.  It comes chock full of features2.  Progressive Scan3.  Multiple Formats including MP3, VCD, etc.4.  The PriceThe Bad:1.  The Control is hammy.  The buttons are tiny, (Could also use a backlight).The UGLY:1.  This is the type of equipment that doesn't tolerate heat well.  This means that if you do not want your pictures to pixilate, or video to freeze totally, You MUST NOT HAVE ANYTHING SITTING ON TOP OF IT.  To the touch, the unit's cabinet feels hot to the touch on the top for the entire surface.  If there is nothing on top of it, the unit works fine.

    On its way back
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2004*

This DVD player failed to perform right out of the box and is now on its way back to amazon. I have always preferred Toshiba video products and this is my first bad experience with them. I tried this unit with three different DVDs from Netflix. All experienced long periods (i.e. minutes) without any video output and when there was a signal it was often shifted to red. All three DVDs played without a problem in my older Toshiba player. There's a reason this model is so inexpensive. My suggestion is that you look elseware.
