Toshiba XD-E500

Pros: Picture and sound was good. Fairly easy to operate.

Cons: DVD player developed problems within a few weeks and got worse. Toshiba doesn't support unit, evidently something to do w/ the "XD" model.

Summary: Don't buy unless you are feeling lucky because if it has problems, you won't get it repaired. Had troubles w/ unit powering up, had to unplug/plug back in to get it to power up. Then it stopped opening up. Of course by now it is over 1 month and too late to return, my mistake for waiting so long. Tried to contact Toshiba at 866-583-7353 for service, waste of time but does give your blood pressure a boost. Never could get a person on this #. Called Toshiba America 800-631-3811, talked to a person, explained problems w/ the other #, absolutely no help, refused to let me talk to supv. Good name in electronics now but not for long, if they keep up this kind of service. I won't touch another Toshiba product. If you purchase this, understand that you are buying the product without a warranty!
