Amazon.com Product Description
Note: Toshiba SD-3960 DVD Player is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Toshiba SD-3980 DVD Player instead.
The high-end SD-3960 DVD player from Toshiba delivers a stunningly clear picture and fantastic surround sound, making it a perfect addition to your home theater. Utilizing Toshiba's ColorStream Pro progressive-scan video technology, the SD-3960 yields vivid colors, clean resolution, and reduced onscreen distortion. A 10-bit/54-MHz digital-to-analog video signal converter also assists in reproducing your DVDs in theaterlike clarity. While the SD-3960 is compatible with both analog and digital televisions, you will achieve optimum picture quality by using the player with a high-definition-compatible television.
You can take full advantage of the visual clarity of the SD-3960 with its versatile digital picture zoom option. The zoom feature lets you magnify a portion of the picture onscreen while in freeze-frame mode or even while watching a DVD in real time. The feature is great for spotting details in movies or even adjusting letterboxed movies to fill your screen.
The SD-3960 plays DVDs, DVD-Rs, and CDs, so you can enjoy all your favorite videos and music. You can also play MP3s and view digital JPEG photos from CDs created in your computer with the SD-3960.
The SD-3960 gives you more than a great picture. You also get vivid, realistic sound, thanks to Toshiba's 24-bit/192 kHz pulse code modulation (PCM) audio processor. PCM audio translates digital signals from your DVDs and CDs into warmer, natural sound. For a cinematic surround-sound experience, you can easily connect the SD-3960 to a home theater receiver with an RCA-type connection. The SD-3960 features Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound output.
The SD-3960 gives a sonic boost to any home theater, even a setup with just stereo speakers. The SD-3960's virtual surround-sound capability creates a simulated surround experience from any DVD or CD recorded in stereo.

Too many problems.......2007-02-26
Just after a few months of owning it I ran into the same audio-dying problem that others have run into, and then it was totally worthless. WTF? Not only that, but also from the day I got it this thing it has never once had the ability to remember the last place I was watching. As soon as I hit stop or turn the unit off, all memory gets lost and the next time I hit Play I'm forced to start all over again from the very beginning of the DVD. I trashed and replaced this thing with a Sony and have been very happy ever since.
Complete piece of junk........2006-11-06
I bought this thing because I have another Toshiba DVD player (SD-3750) which is a very good DVD player. Unfortunately the 3960 is a terrible DVD player. Even when it worked it was very slow at starting up, seeking, and starting the movie. It quit working about a year after I bought it, specifically the svideo output quit, the audio quit, and all I was left with was composite video out. Not sure about component because I didn't have a tv with that feature. The DVD player is now in the trash.
A piece of garbage - don't waste your money.......2006-10-25
I am so completely disappointed with this product. I bought the Toshiba SD-3960 DVD player with "progressive scan" technology two years ago in an attempt to upgrade from my old Sony DVD player. I then foolishly gave my old reliable Sony DVD player to my sister as a gift, and I kept the new Toshiba for myself. What a huge mistake! 2 years later and the unit has never worked correctly.
Meanwhile, my sister watches more DVDs than I do and she's still using that same old Sony player I gave her when I foolishly attempted to upgrade to the Toshiba with "progressive scan." The Sony DVD player is three years older than the Toshiba, and it worked perfectly from day one. It still works perfectly to this day, and I am sitting here with this piece of junk Toshiba player that I can't even use anymore. This DVD player is total garbage. I am so tired of struggling to get this thing to work.
The most common problem I have with this player is that it will play about 3/4 of the DVD with only the occasional picture glitch or temporary freeze up, annoying but not a total deal breaker, but then after about the 3/4 point, it just keeps getting worse and worse until towards the end of the disc it won't even play at all. It constantly skips and freezes up, the sound starts making a digital helicopter noise, all distorted and choppy, the picture turns to pixels and finally it freezes and stops playing altogether. Then I just sit there while I listen to the disc drive inside trying to spin and then stopping, spinning then stopping, over and over again while the picture stays completely frozen and pixelated. If I try to replay the scene, it just does the same thing again. If I try to clean the lens with my DVD lens cleaning disc, there is no improvement. This machine is useless through and through. I am so disappointed in this product. I will never buy another piece of electronic equipment from Toshiba ever again. I should have known the $80 price tag was too good to be true. I should have stuck with a brand I trusted, good old reliable Sony. I will never buy a Toshiba product ever again.
sound died.......2005-11-20
I wish I had read the other reviews before I bought this, because just as others before me, the player lost sound after less than a year's use. It worked well before that. At least there are subtitles!
A Lemon.......2005-11-06
I would give this no stars if that was a choice. I know why this machine is no longer available. It is a lemon through and through. The audio died less than a year from the date of purchase. In addition. the remote is very difficult to operate - too many buttons and directions. My next DVD player will not be a Toshiba.

Product Description
Regulatory compliance is an increasing focus for organizations of all sizes today, but it is a special challenge and distraction for small and midsize businesses (SMBs), who have very limited resources to devote to it. Yet the number of industries with regulations requiring the archival of email is increasing. The most strict email retention rules are the SEC's for the financial industry, and these are generally regarded as "best practices" in other industries as well - especially in regard to archiving email onto unalterable media. SEC-regulated firms must maintain a secure, non-alterable, and searchable archive of all their email for as long as seven years in some instances. The ComplianceVault appliance from Intradyn is a simple, all-in-one email archiving and retrieval device designed to be affordable for smaller firms - which, until now, have been significantly challenged to meet the strict requirements of regulations such as the SEC's.
Product Description
Pop-Up Shades are LCD screen protective covers, which double as glare guards. These sturdy, lightweight covers are easily installed (and removed), protect a digital camera's expensive LCD screen in the closed position, and pop up to provide easier viewing of the display in bright sunlight. The cover easily pops up to form a little three sided canopy over the LCD to diminish glare, and folds right back down when you're finished. A camera grade, optically clear glass (itself protected with a clear protective film cover to prevent shipping scratches) continues to guard the LCD screen when the shade is up. Snap on covers literally hook onto the grooves in your camera, and stick ons are easy to apply and remove, and feature a no residue adhesive to keep the camera finish smooth and clean.

Neat device - but not perfect.......2007-12-08
I bought one of these for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. It attaches to the screen with adhesive and, provided the screen is clean to start with, seems quite positive. The screen is fully visible when it is applied correctly but one has to be careful with positioning it initially, since removing it and applying it a second time seriously weakens the adhesive.
The actual shade clicks off and I have found that it will do so in my pocket from time to time, so it is not a very positive fixing. It adds about 5mm to the depth of the camera.
I have found it to be less useful as a shade than I expected. Viewing of the screen is still difficult if (a) the sun is directly behind one or (b) if the sun is lighting one's face. This is a problem, however, with all cameras which have no optical viewfinder and is not really related to the use of a shade.
REALLY GREAT BUT?.......2007-04-11
They will not stay on! Delkin advises using double sided tape or velcro. Phooey!
