Toshiba SD-V295 Tunerless DVD VCR Combo Player Review

See more picture

The thing did well for a while. It has no tuner, but you can run cables from other places. The dvd player often stops in the middle of the movie and no way can I restart it. Other times, it displays just snow. I thought it was a bad dvd but the disk works fine on other players. Toshiba had problems with this a while back, but it is still junk. This will be my last Toshiba product.

Works, but slow, klunky user controls - wouldn't buy again - M. M Magliaro - Philipsburg, PA United States
I bought this to have a means to play CDs, DVDs and VCR tapes in one compact box. I haven't even used the record function, and probably never will. I just wanted a VCR drive in there to play any "legacy" tapes I still have lying around.br /br /It works. The picture quality is good. But...br /br /1. When you insert a CD or DVD, it takes the drive a long time to figure out which it is and start to play it. I'd say about 30 seconds, and that is unacceptable.br /br /2. Once it recognizes a CD, it automatically starts to play it. Often, I don't want it to do that. I want it to just load and be "ready", and let me possibly skip to the track I want. With the "auto play all the time" behavior, I constantly have to make sure the volume is down, stop it, advance it, turn the volume back up... AWKWARD.br /br /3. The front panel controls are very limited. There is no pause button, and the FF/RWD CD controls advance through the current song, but there is no separate "skip" button. The remote control has all these functions, but I loathe devices that depend on the remote control as the only source of certain important functions. That has been the trend to cut costs on these cheap units, because front panel controls are expensive compared to putting them on a remote.br /br /I also don't like the "standby" type of power switch. How about just "On/Off".br /br /In short, there are too many hidden/automatic/nonavailable/weirdly labeled things about this that make it awkward to use. I will probably never buy a combo drive in the future if I can help it, even if I have to hunt down generations-old devices on eBay to get a separate CD player, separate DVD player, and separate VCR. They work much better that way and have controls that humans intuitively understand.
