Purchased one and after a few days the audio would drop out completely. Thinking it was a lemon I returned it for a replacement. The new one was fine for a while, but now the audio becomes progressively more unsynchronized as it plays and often drops out completely if the video is reversed or fast forwarded.

About 45 minutes into a movie, the audio would always get out of synch with the video. Finally, after about four months, the audio dropped out completely. I returned it and exchanged it for the Sony DVP-NS57P.

This player works for the most part with regular store bought dvd movies but DIVX/AVI playback does not function properly at all. Audio is halting or files do not play at all. Machine freezes up a lot.

There are a couple of things that I wished were in the player, such as a more informative display panel instead of merely indicating what chapter the player is on, but it's good otherwise. Curiously enough, however, the update can only be found at the Toshiba Canada website. Oh, and do understand that this player will not upscale video.

It allows you or a technician to download a CD ROM ISO image which can be used to create a repair CD with a computer CD burner. Note the the instructions to install it only apply to those with a serial number beginning with the letter M. Again, note that the audio problem does not apply to the model with a serial number like mine beginning with the letter R.

Everything works fine in the other machines, but not in this DVD player. Upgrading the firmware, and using different brands of discs did not help either. Unless you are buying this one at a really steep discount, with no intention of playing Divx/Avi files please avoid.

I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out what I was doing wrong in the process of burning both cd and dvd discs with Divx or Avi movies on them.

The SD-4000KU2 I received as a gift at Christmas does not exhibit the sound problem. Toshiba must have fixed this in later manufacture, mine is labeled manufactured July 2007.

I've always been sold on Toshiba products, but they dropped the ball on this one. Unfortunately, I will definitely have to think twice from now on before buying another Toshiba product.
