Toshiba SD-V296
$90.00
Released May, 2006
The Pros:Plays DVDs with little-to-no disc noise.
The Cons:Menu navigation is awkward and unintuitive. Sound level drops very noticeably as compared to TV volume. Doesn't have auto tracking... something that has been standard for at least ten years.
The Toshiba SD-V296 is a mid-grade DVD player and VCR combo designed as Toshiba claims to "provide the combined picture quality of a progressive scan DVD player and the convenient recording and playback options of a VCR".

More specifically the SD-V296 is designed with simple features to offer a cheaper solution for consumers looking at high-definition DVD playback and VCR playback support. The SD-V296 features full progressive scan DVD support through the ColorStream Pro component video out.
The Toshiba SD-V296 also includes additional features not mentioned above, such as 3-D virtual surround support, JPEG digital photo viewing support, DVD+-R, +-RW support, a one touch recording option, an integrated 24-bit/192KHz digital to analog audio converter, full WMA and MP3 file format playback support, menu multi-language options, standard fast forward, scan, and slow motion functions, and DivX file support.
The only real difference between the SD-V296 and its earlier version predecessor the SD-V295 is the slim design of the newer model; Toshiba was going for a much more compact body design in the V296 model.
