Amazon.com Product Description
The Toshiba SD2705 DVD player includes a five-disc capacity carousel and all the standard features Toshiba incorporates into their DVD players. Parallel video output, Dolby Digital and DTS compatible output, Spatializer N-2-2 Virtual Surround Sound, three slow-motion speeds, and an icon-based onscreen display are all here. This model also has HDCD precision filtering and decoding for HDCD playback, and is DVD/CD/Video CD/CD-R/DVD-R compatible. Key features include ColorStream component-video outputs. The ColorStream component-video connection is the ideal way to connect a digital video source like DVD to a TV display, resulting in increased image purity, incredibly lifelike colors and crisp color resolutions. The 10-bit D/A converter with high-resolution filter ensures excellent picture quality, while the 24-bit/192 kHz audio converter with dialogue enhancement renders clear and dynamic sound reproduction. Some of the more convenient features include four forward and reverse-scan speeds and a first-time setup menu that assists viewers in accurately setting up their player to suit their system's capabilities, quickly configuring the DVD player for 90 percent of all home entertainment applications. Parental lock, time search, camera angle select, and four-power picture zoom are all included on this model, as are S-video, composite-video, and coaxial digital outputs, giving you a wide range of connection options. The SD2705 comes with a remote control, and a one-year warranty on parts and labor from Toshiba.

 Toshiba Compatibility Problems November 1, 2001
43 out of 44 found this review helpful
The Toshiba SD2705 experienced audio delays when sending Dolby Digital code to my JVC 7010VBK receiver. The picture was fine, but every time you paused, skipped a frame or pushed play, the audio would cut out for about 50 seconds. I thought I configured something improperly and spent a great deal of time trying to resolve the problem on my own. I brought both the DVD Player and Receiver to Circuit City (where I bought the receiver)where 5 home theatre sales associates and 2 hours later we still could not resolve the problem. The DVD player worked with other receivers and the receiver worked with other DVD players. So I then went to Best Buy (where I bought the DVD player). They told me that the Toshiba model has a problem with its digital optical and coaxial connections when connecting to certain receivers and I should call Toshiba. Since I purchased the DVD player before the receiver, had it over 30 days and didn't get the extra warranty coverage with Best Buy, they were no longer interested in helping me. I then contacted Toshiba by phone, waited 45 minutes to talk to someone who said they have never heard of the problem the Best Buy rep discussed with me. In addition, the Toshiba representative was rude and somewhat condescending. However, they did set me up for a warranty service call. I still have not resolved the problem but I think others should beware. In my experience, the customer service at Toshiba and Best Buy is disgraceful and ineffective. I will never buy another Toshiba product or shop at Best Buy. Circuit City, however, were very helpful and very responsive and I definitely would recommend them to others.
 Extremely disapointed. July 21, 2001

I bought this one because it seemed like the best value for the money. But in the end I was pretty disappointed with it. I would have thought that Toshiba was a dependable quality product but I was wrong. I ended up returning this player because it kept freezing up. It wouldn't respond to anything, even the off button, and I kept having to unplug the darn thing and plug it in to get it back to normal again. It would do this with both DVD's and CD's. This gets to be a pain in the butt when your entertainment centre weighs a couple hundred pounds and the plug is way back there behind it. I was also disappointed with the random feature. You could play 5 CD's at random but it had to be 2 songs from each CD before it would randomly pick the next. Why 2 songs? I wanted random, not pairs. Otherwise, it seemed to have great picture, but even the cheapest DVD players have great picture. I'm not sure which brand I'll move onto but I think I'll pay a bit more this time.

I have a daughter (3) whom uses (w/o assistance) the DVD player more than I use the stove. I am very unhappy with the frequent "pausing" and the problems I have ran into with several videos (the Toshiba doesn't recognize it until a power cycle...sometimes not at all). I can honestly recommend that a user looks at a different unit instead of purchasing a Toshiba. A friend has an AIWA and another a JVC, each without problems. Good overall quality (plenty of capabilities), but the freezing conditions (1 sec to 1 min) cancel every other nice feature out. This DVD player has changed my complete feelings regarding Toshiba, from DVD players, to laptops, to cameras...now out of the equation (still rank "slightly" above Packard Bell)
 STAY AWAY FROM THE HATACHI C605U!!!!! August 4, 2001

I purchased this particular machine, after I had a hellish nightmare with the Hatachi c605u (That's A diffrent story with in itself). Now I have a owned the Toshiba sd1200 dvd player for about a year, and I was very pleased. But I wanted to upgrade my home Theater system to a changer, So I decided on this model, becuase I was so use to the name of Toshiba, (and had major problems with the hatachi c605u) The Quilty of the picture was very good especially with an S-video conection. The Sound was Just amazing, (but you must have a Dolby Digital Connection via Coaxial Or Optical). But If you don't the, simmulated surround works just fine with the 2-2- spactializer (thats simm 3d sound). This Means that it will sound like you have a full surround sound system with just 2 speakers. The Video connections that are; available are S-video and Componet, but even if you have an older tv the video out will work just. fine. The remote is easy to use, a little small, but that's a miner problem for such a major machine. It also plays video cd, cd-r, cd-rw. it does it all. So if you are in the market for a 5 disk changer (Just In time for the Godfather Trilogy). Then the Toshiba sd2705 is the right one for you So sit back and enjoy the show.
SO FAR, SO GOOD! June 15, 2001

...It's a great DVD player. It runs fantastic. The picture and sound quality are crisp, and my favorite feature on it has to be the zoom. It comes in handy when you're watching some "mature" movies.... I'm not a big technical guy, so you might want to consult someone on that aspect of the player, but I'm happy with this. The only thing that looses points with me would be the size of this machine. It's very large and when DVD players are more common among households in a few years, this might start to look dated (remember the first few years of VCR's??) Over all, for the money and the quality, you can't beat this.
