I checked out scores of other players and signs kept pointing back to the Toshibas... The SD2700 was high rated, but the SD2710 is slightly newer and also can play MP3's which the 2700 cannot. It's hard to find a better value for an excellent player with compatibility with tons of formats, great output options and easy to use. The price is excellent and Toshiba has a history of strong products. The only downside is the remote has tons of little buttons that you have to look at, you can't just go by feel. Otherwise, buy a 2710 today!

This is my second DVD player after buying Pioneer DV 525 around 2 years ago. I was mainly looking for a player which will mainly play MP3s and CDRWs, as my first player already played CDRs. There are some cheap players which do MP3 also but don;t hve good sound quality. This offers best of all worlds with Dolby Digital and DTS output for the best sound, composite video for great resolution, MP3 playback capability for burned music, and awesome price.

I've never had any problem playing any of burned VCDs or CDRs with MP3, although I haven't trued MP3 on CDRWs, but I hve no reason to belive that it'll not work.

If you are looking for a DVD player with most of the latest features and playes MP3 also.. this is the best in low price range and I highly recommend it.

I didn't have any issue with the DVD functionality, and I didn't test the MP3 options. But there were serious problems with it's CD-R compatibility. I had CD-R VCD's that would play fine for an hour or so, then the player would, for lack of a better word, get tired. It would start skipping or wouldn't be able to even get to a specific chapter. It would spin for a couple minutes not doing anything and then give up. If I turned it off for 30-40 minutes and then tried again it would play fine for another hour. Very frustrating when you are trying to watch a series. If you watch VCD's or CD-R's with MPG compression then I would recommend against buying this player, get a Sony, much better quality.

This is the second dvd player that i have purchased, the first being a sony that did not play cdr's, but did play cdrw's. This toshiba plays both, has DTS out and component outs. From reading many reviews sony's or toshiba's are the way to go, and i have not yet had a problem reading a dvd disc in either. I recommend this player because of its price, its ability to read burnt discs, and is reputation. I havent tried the mp3 capabilities yet because i am waiting for a receiver and speakers.

This DVD has digital audio out as well as component or SVideo out. It is a class machine for playing DVDs. It was created before the big jump in CDRs and MP3 files. It was not meant to play back that material. It was meant to give the finest possible playback on DVDs. The Matrix is a fine test DVD. If a player handles that fine, then it should handle anything. This player was wonderful on the Matrix. In fact, after viewing some 300 DVDs I can say I've never NEVER had a problem with it. The best value for your dollar.
