Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's SD-3980 single-disc DVD player packs a serious home-theater punch for an amazingly low price. Its progressive-scan ColorStream Pro component-video output produces seamless, flicker-free images for high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding let you compile music on your PC and listen to it on your stereo or TV, and you can even watch customized digital-photo 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-3980 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs via 10-bit/54 MHz processing. 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 you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
The SD-3980 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 outputs (one each coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player's internal digital-to-analog converters work at 24-bit, 96 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 (boosts regular digital audio signals), 3-D (virtual surround sound enhancement via Spatializer N-2-2), and dialogue expander (which enhances center-channel frequencies in the range of human voices during playback of Dolby Digital multichannel content). Other playback options include Power Picture Zoom (which lets you magnify a select area of an image), bookmarking (up to 9 marks), and parental lock.

DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

HELPFUL INFO ON THIS PRODUCT.......2007-11-23
i got online today to see if i could troubleshoot before i gave my toshiba SD3980 to the local junk recycler, and found all these BAD reviews instead. as with you all, the tray became sluggish and every disk displayed "BAD". i decided to call toshiba customer service: 800-319-6684. just got off the phone and give them 5 stars for their assistance. i told them i would not pay $10-15 to ship trash back to them, and that i did not want another SD3980. they are sending me a "call tag", which is a pre-paid mailing label that i can stick on a box and send them this thing back FOR FREE. they will then send me a new SD4000. they said they have had no problems with this new model. i don't have my receipt anymore so they told me to just include a letter stating this fact.
so altho not at all pleased with the product, am very pleased - SO FAR- with customer service.
Don't even think of buying.......2007-07-07
Like other reviewers I have experienced the "Incorrect Disk" error after very minimal use. I won't even think of taking it in for a repair. Hello trash can.
Why toshiba? why?.......2007-06-04
I purchased this product because I own a toshiba laptop that I am quite pleased with. Just because a company makes a good laptop doesn't mean their other products are good. My wife and I watch movies pretty regularly. Sure enough, after about a year of use, the dvd player has increasingly been giving "bad disc" errors. I wish I had read the reviews before buying. Oh well. Sorry Toshiba, you can have your player back.
Died after 1.5 years.......2007-06-04
I agree with the other negative reviews. I paid about $59 for it. This machine worked fine for about a year and a half, and maybe played 40 DVD's and a few CDs. Suddenly it refused to mount any discs whatsoever, giving an 'incorrect disc" reading. The rejected discs, however, play fine on my laptop. Am very disappointed because it was easy to set up and had a very nice remote.
Don't buy it!
Kicking a dead horse..........2007-04-24
Too little, too late, I suppose, but, having gotten this 2 years back for less than half the price, I thought I'd made a major score. The Toshiba SD-3980 allowed for things my stodgy 2-year-old Panasonic S35 did not--namely, region hacking and playing PAL discs. It was great while it lasted...6 months (and perhaps two dozen uses) later, I had a fantastic metal dinner tray. Toshiba, you have made a non-believer out of me. Meanwhile, my S35 is still humming along.

Great Drive.......2007-07-27
After I hooked this drive up (easy as pie) to my Mac, it started making an awful fan noise. I called LaCie and Beach Camera to see what they could do for me. Both companies were very acommodating, polite and eager to provide service. LaCie is where I sent it since they paid postage both ways. Within 2 weeks the drive came back fixed and quiet, very quiet. I would like to compliment LaCie and their customer service department for the timely, polite and fast service. I highly recommend LaCie to anyone shopping for external hard drives. The only thing I am disappointed in is the "auto" on/off setting on the power switch does not automatically turn the drive on and off when I have it hooked up to FW800 and also have FW400 items connected to my Mac. When those are disconnected, the "auto" function works perfectly. This drive is quiet, fast and versatile. Well worth every penny.
Only 465GB of Useable Space.......2007-07-01
I was disapointed to find that the manufacturers rounded up 35GB to call it a 500GB drive...
but other than that this drive is great.
It stayed cool even though I had it on for about eight hours the first day, and the "auto" power setting (which puts it in a rest mode when not in use) seems to work well.
Nice design too: it makes my other externals look like bulky hunks of plastic.

Works Well, Great Value.......2007-06-25
I researched hard drives for a while before buying the LaCie D2 500GB Quadra. I'm using it with Logic & Pro Tools, often with a MacBook Pro, so I needed the FW800, and so far it has been working great. It's fairly quiet and easy to use and isn't overly bulky. It looks like a regular hard drive, nothing fancy; I do like that it can be vertical or on it's side... LaCie includes little rubber feet for the bottom if you wish to do this. The other models I considered were the G-Tech 500GB (almost twice the cost for the same features, but only 8MB cache) and the LaCie Little Big Disk (half the size, twice the cost, with smaller HD size). For the money I don't think there's a better hard drive available.
LaCie d2 Quadra same plus better.......2007-06-13
The LaCie d2 500GB Quadra hard drive is the same easy mount, high powered external storage device as earlier models. It's also even better as a quieter, cooler, and speedier unit able to perform without a glitch for hours of video editing.
