I need to buy 5 dvd players for low tech family. What is the best bang for my buck?

Toshiba SD-4800 plays DVD discs and DVD-A (audio), Jpegs and is Progresssive Scan, if you don't have a HDTV, it can be played as interlaced on the old anolog TV models.

Priced under $200, I hope this helps.

Try this out. Probably the best DVD player for the price.

For myself, the RP62 was the best choice ( $165 at Amazon ) As gifts, you might want something cheaper.

I say try the Pioneer DV-353k or the Toshiba SD-2800, both of which can be found online for about $120 or so.


Either player should be a great "workhorse" player, but I recommend the Pioneer over the Toshiba mainly due to past experience with the Pioneer.


I've given the Toshiba SD-2800 to a friend as a gift and it's worked out well for her, thus far. I've also given 3 Pioneer DV-333s and one Pioneer DV-440 as gifts as well as a Toshiba SD-1600 (refurb) which lasted only ONE year. I replaced that with a NEW Toshiba SD-2715 that has worked great ever since.


Good luck!


Peace.....
