Home > Consumer Reviews > Toshiba SD220 DVD Player

Player once played a region 3 dvd, then a few months later sontaneously refused to play region 3 dvds, even the one it had already played. Sounds crazy, I agree, but another reviewer had other problems with region 3 dvds.

Also the noise made by the player when playing is very audible during quiet scenes.

As a first time DVD player buyer I was not sure which one to get. Having read several reviews in various mags, I finally went for this one. How right the reviews were. 10 out of 10, 5 stars. Which ever way you put it, this is a bargin!!! If you're after a good DVD player for below £200 then BUY THIS ONE NOW!!!

FANTASTIC! This player has had seriously good reviews in all the quality home entertainment publications & so far, from what i have seen of the player, every one has been justified. This model not only came out as 'best buy' in What Hi-fi's budget category BUT also won top award for the mid range category!
Enough said - This player is a must buy! (at an extra fine price too)

not a bad player but it doest play some dvd'rs and thats a problem to me but its user friendly and good qualiy picture easy to use once the manual is read

After reading the glowing reviews I bought a Toshiba SD220e in Dec 2002 and until now was very happy with the superb picture and sound quality. A few months ago just out of warranty it started freezing the picture which locked up all controls requiring a power down. At first I blamed it on poor quality rental DVD discs but it also does it with brand new discs. It's now at the point where most most movies lock up and nothing seems to cure it. I am gutted that such a well respected brand name DVD player has packed in after less than 18 months. I have no chance of warranty comeback and repair costs are higher than buying a new machine. So it's a new DVD player for me but never again will it be a Toshiba!
