Amazon.com Review

Toshiba's SD3805 DVD-CD changer is bursting with quality, features, and nice design touches that enhance movie watching and listening to music. In our evaluation, the SD3805 won points for its ColorStream Pro progressive-scan video, quality analog-audio outputs, good MP3 navigation, convenient "top menu" feature, and detailed picture zoom (up to 6x!).

Whether your living room is currently home to a high-definition-ready or full HDTV, or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD3805 is equipped 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. The "top menu" button zips past the FBI warnings, previews, and other pre-menu annoyances written into many commercial DVDs. Disc marker lets you set up to seven points on a disc for easy reference, and the player recalls the points with beat accuracy, but resets the memory as soon as you load a new disc.

With a surround receiver capable of receiving a 96 kHz digital input, the SD3805 can be set to output a full 24-bit, 96 kHz audio signal, whereas most players down-convert to 48 kHz at the digital output. When the unit plays MP3 CDs, its onscreen display shows just enough of a track's title information for you to see the artists' names and the song titles. Direct track selection is inactive for MP3 discs (use the menu-navigation buttons to select tracks), but the repeat feature works fine. Direct-track access is lightning-quick on audio CDs.

The player's only serious drawback is one common to many multidisc changers: it's a little slow when loading discs, changing discs, and even powering up. And because there's no direct-disc access from the remote, you have to hit "disc skip" repeatedly to go from disc one to disc five. But for patient souls seeking a beautiful combination of features, quality, and affordability, the SD3805 is a great choice. --Michael Mikesell

3 out of 5 stars Good DVD player - NOT a good 5 CD changer.......2004-06-01

Nobody really needs a 5 disc DVD player (most people only watch 1 movie at a time and don't mind switching discs in betwee). The point in having a 5 disk unit is to replace a 5 disc CD player.

This unit works fine as a DVD player however it leaves much to be desired as a CD player.

The important things to note are the cons from the Amazon review - Slow to change discs, and no direct cd selection from the remote.

First: there is no 'shuffle/random/continuous, all discs/one disc' type options as you would find on a 5 disc CD player. You don't seem to be able to stick 5 cd's in and have them play through them all. It will play one disc and stop - or you can program it to play tracks from each CD.

Second: Not being able to select a disc directly from the Remote means you have to 'disc skip' through ALL the disks to get to the one you want. This is made all the more painful due to the fact that the player has to load/read and identify each disc before it will skip to the next one -i.e. pressing disc skip 3 times doesn't skip 3 discs.

Last: Not only is there no direct access to a disc from the remote - but the player doesn't even respond to the direct access codes for toshiba players that DO have that feature. I.e. It's not just that the remote doesn't have the buttons - the player is not designed to work that way - despite having direct access buttons on the front of the unit.

This makes a pretty decent DVD player, but if what you are looking for is something to replace your CD player as well, I'd take a pass on this. Try looking for a DVD changer made by a company that makes good 5 disc CD players.

2 out of 5 stars won't play CD's.......2003-06-26

This unit plays movies but will not play a music CD. It starts to play, jumps and starts over. I have tried many CDs and it isn't just older ones but it treats new ones the same way. Unfortunately, I didn't test a CD while it was in the first three months warranty. I am now trying to get it fixed but can't get a repair scheduled within two weeks at the earliest. I am very unimpressed.

5 out of 5 stars The Best DVD Player I Have Seen!.......2003-02-12

I wanted to upgrade my old DVD player, so I picked up this Toshiba multi-disc player.
I am quite happy with it. The picture is incredibly sharp hooked up to my High-definition tv. I am able to take advantage of the progressive scan.
The sound was so good that I used this player to replace my CD player, and now I just have one player for my DVD's and CD'S.
It really is made well, and works flawlessly, and unlike other instruction manuals this one is easy to follow.
This is my first Toshiba product and I am really impressed. I would highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best!.......2003-02-04

I wanted to get a DVD player that could hold multiple DVD's and have outstanding picture quality and sound.
I first tried a Panasonic model but did not have much luck with that. Then a friend of mine told me that Toshiba invented the DVD and makes some of the best players on the market.
I loved this thing from the momment I got it. It comes on and says hello. It has great surround sound and the picture looks so good it is almost surreal.
Definitely pick this DVD player and you will be extremely happy.

5 out of 5 stars Nice and Easy.......2003-01-22

I was looking for a simple to use DVD player with progressive scan and 5 disc capability.
This player fit the bill and rated rather highly. The manual is very easy to use, almost "idiot proof".
The player was able to play all my burned CD's and MP3's with no problem and I hear that it can play some burned DVD's as well. Not bad.
The progressive scan has a jaw dropping picture on my High Definition TV, and the sound was fantastic as well. Try the surround sound, and you will feel like you are in the movie theater.
I would definitely recommend this product.

            If you're looking to use your old parallel port laser printer into your wireless network, this is the solution for you! takes some detailed setup following, but once setup, it works like a charm. No firewall issues like with Linksys, so that you can print easily with your notebook over wireless.
