Amazon.com Product Description
Get the most from DVDs and CDs with Toshiba's SD-4900 single-disc DVD player, whose ultimate progressive-scan Super ColorStream Pro component-video outputs produce seamless, flicker-free images with high-definition and HD-ready TVs. This is every bit as much an audio player as a video player, with DVD-Audio compatibility and MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding from CD-R/CD-RW. You can also watch customized digital-picture slideshows using recordable CDs filled with JPEG image files.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-4900 stands ready 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, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
The SD-4900 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.
DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. Because the DVD-Audio signal is too high-resolution for the digital-to-analog converters in current surround receivers (and also as an anti-piracy measure), the SD-4900 performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate this feature.
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 digital AV receiver, and with these formats the choice is yours: route the surround signal digitally or use the same analog outputs you use for the DVD-Audio signal.
Playback options include 3-D DNR (digital noise reduction, which reduces random noise in DVD images by comparing each frame of information to the previous and succeeding frames), bookmarks, a powerful 16x picture zoom, and parental lock.
EAM (Enhanced Audio Mode) offers three audio-enhancements: "normal" mode equalizes regular digital-audio signals; "3-D" provides virtual surround sound through Spatializer N-2-2 circuitry; and "Dialogue" enhances the center-channel frequencies when you're playing Dolby Digital-encoded discs via the D-R1's analog audio outputs.

Progressive Scan Problem for SD-4900.......2005-01-02
For all of you who can't find their manuals, which I almost couldn't, (seriously, what kind of anal person keeps track of all their manuals, or actually reads the whole thing right away, friggin losers) and are frustrated with these earlier reviews that bring up this problem, but don't explain specifically how to correct it, here is the actual way to fix this problem:
eject any disc that is in the drive and wait until the screen says "no disc"
now press and hold the stop button on the player itself for about 5 seconds
the welcome screen should come on
hope this helps all you frustrated people out there
Excellent performance with one big annoyance!.......2004-10-05
I bought this DVD player to replace an irritating Go Video model that wouldn't play audio CDs and loved to skip at the slightest scratch in a rental DVD. Overall, the Toshiba SD-4900 has been a worthwhile replacement, especially considering its low price! It has performed very well with almost every DVD I've rented, even ones that are a bit scratched up. It plays audio CDs perfectly and I've had no need for a separate CD player component in my stereo system.
The remote is a little annoying -- some of the buttons aren't grouped in an intuitive way -- but once you've used it for a while, you do get used to it, and it's no big deal.
I'm not an audiophile or digital video expert, so I won't comment on the technical specifications. I actually have the signal routed through a tuner that dates back to 1986! Obviously, this means I sacrifice the clarity of a digital signal, but I have to say the picture still looks great -- it's only going to get better if you're using quality, modern equipment to go with this player.
So what is the one big annoyance? On my old DVD player, if I was interrupted and stopped playing a DVD, I could come back later and pick up where i left off, as long as I didn't eject the disk. Not so with this model. Unless you leave a disk paused (which isn't supposed to be a good idea for lengthy periods of time), the DVD player will shut itself off automatically after several minutes... and it will lose your place in the movie, even though the disk was never ejected. Very annoying if you get interrupted even once or twice.
Still, on balance -- I recommend this model for its excellent performance for the price.
Great product, unfairly slandered by morons.......2004-05-10
I've had this player now for about 4 months, and it's been great so far. Very clear, accurate color, and fast response. Layout of the remote is a little wonky in some respects, but i've come to expect this as commonplace with most players.
Seeing the negatives some people are mentioning, however, I feel compelled to defend this player, as it's getting a lower rating than it truly deserves - largely due to ignorance.
First, concerning the "booby trap" issue. It's not a trap, it's progressive scan. If you don't have an HDTV, PS isn't going to do much for you anyway! If you try to set the player as PS, and your television can't handle it, of course your display is going to bug out for a bit. If you check the manual, however, this "trap" is mentioned, and it's resulting fix to reset the settings. People are saying "good luck" like Toshiba is to blame for this, when it's simply the result of people hitting buttons and selecting options that they don't know anything about.
As for the time/chapter display, this is shown on the front panel of the unit - just like virtually *any* player out there. The reason you can't simply pause the player for hours and leave it in the same spot is more a matter of liability control on the part of Toshiba - doing this is BAD FOR YOUR PLAYER. It's bad for any disc-based drive.
To finish this up, this is a great product that displays audiophile quality in *certain* areas. It has it's warts, such as the remote, but has been almost perfect throughout my experience with it. If you know how to operate a DVD player without selecting stupid options and mistreating the unit, this one is great for you.
If you're the type of fool who fries their previous DVD player, complains about not being able to read the front panel properly, or can't figure out how to display the remaining time on a disc, then by all means...stay far, far away. From all electronics.
Best DVD player ever!.......2004-05-08
Wow. This DVD player is awesome. I have had it for almost a year and it has never let me down. About the Progressive Scan problem, I read the instruction booklet about it. You need a Progressive Scan compatible TV.
I love all the features, and the remote layout. All the music features rock, and the 3D surround sound is great!
I recomend this product to anyone looking for a High-Quality DVD player.
Booby trap fixer upper.......2004-04-25
I had the same pro scan problem with this (otherwise excellent)Toshiba DVD player, but it's not difficult to correct. The instruction manual says to press the 'stop' button to turn off the disc you're trying to watch, then press and hold the 'stop' button for at least 5 seconds. The Toshiba screen saver should then pop right up on your TV screen. Good luck... it worked for me.
