 Toshiba HDMI Trouble December 18, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this Toshiba SD-4980 to go with a new HD-ILA JVC tv that has an HDMI input. I found the picture quality using HDMI input to be very good comapred to my RCA progressive scan DVD player and was impressed with the improvement in picture using the upconversion feature.
However I returned the first unit because it would randomly pause for a few seconds during the middle of playback, not related to the DVD being played (it would freeze in different places on the same DVD). I returned the first unit and tried a second unit only to find that it did the same thing so it was also returned.
I liked this DVD player but it is very distracting for the movie to stop suddenly and so sadly like one of the previous reviewers I will not be using this unit until Toshiba fixes the issue.
 DVD Playback Pauses Unacceptably April 12, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Unfortunately, I like the other reviewers here found that my 4980 unit paused unacceptably and randomly throughout playback (usually about once an hour during a movie). I contacted Toshiba and they quickly arranged to replace the unit with another 4980.
This unit arrived with the same exact problem; as a matter of fact, I went to my local Best Buy just for grins and picked up another 4980, and IT TOO had the same exact problem. I quickly returned that unit.
I contacted Toshiba once again, and still claiming ignorance of any known issue with the 4980, offered to replace it with a 6980, worth about twice as much. I readily agreed, and if they indeed do so, and it doesn't have the pause problem, I'll be quite content.

DVD player February 25, 2006

This player upconverts 480i to 1080i, which was the primary reason I purchased it. It does that nicely, although it took a little bit of setup to get it working. There are two things I don't like about it. The first is that it is slow to respond to input commands. This often causes me to hit the button a second time which then doesn't give me the result I wanted. Second, when playing a DVD that is in 4:3 mode (a purchased television show for example), the default is to show it full screen on the TV, which means everything is stretched out. There are multiple settings that have to be changed to get it to display properly. I think that should be automatic.
