Toshiba SD-9200 Progressive-Scan DVD-Audio/Video/CD Player with Box Mint!! - $133 - (Burbank, CA)

Toshiba SD-9200 Progressive-Scan DVD-Audio/Video/CD Player with Box Mint!! Toshiba SD-9200 Progressive-Scan DVD-Audio/Video Player Toshiba's SD-9200 and Onkyo's DV-S939 are part of a new breed of what might as well be called "super" DVD players. Like a handful of others, they're high-quality DVD players that offer a progressive-scan video output and can decode the high-resolution audio signal from DVD-Audio recordings. With the category becoming almost appliancelike, these players are a welcome addition to any writer's queue of review products. Right off the bat, the SD-9200 shows that it's in a different class. The striking but simple black front faceplate stands tall, with an extremely thin drawer that pops out quickly from the middle. This player just looks more elegant and feels considerably sturdier than nearly any other I've reviewed. The elegant anterior appearance is mated with an otherwise plain-Jane posterior, although the addition of coaxial and optical digital outputs is welcome. Both will output PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS signals to your external processor. The dual-purpose, remote-adjustable progressive/interlaced component video output is expected, but you won't get a picture until you configure the player correctly. Initially, you might want to set things up from the composite or y/c (S-video) output. While I'm disappointed that Toshiba didn't double up on these connectors, it's not a big loss. The most important outputs on this unit anyway are the 5.1-channel analog audio jacks. While there's also a regular two-channel audio output, the 5.1-channel connectors are the ones that transmit the internally decoded Dolby Digital and high-resolution DVD-Audio signals. The player does not internally decode DTS signals and won't read the high-resolution layer from Super Audio CDs (a competing format to DVD-Audio), although you can at least decode DTS externally. Nothing, though, shows the mark of a quality product like the detachable, grounded power cable…
