The Toshiba SD-V296 DVD/VCR Combo Player is a quality DVD player and VCR recorder combo that offers great features at an affordable price. It features a sophisticated 192KHz/24-bit audio processor, progressive scan DVD playback capabilities, simultaneous DVD playback and VCR recording, one-touch recording, S-VHS Quasi Playback, and ColorStream Pro component output for high resolution DVD imagery.

Though it's an excellent DVD player, it can also be used as a CD or MP3 player. You could actually use it to share your favorite songs and photos with friends and family. In addition, it has built-in Dolby Digital/DTS decoders, offering breath-taking surround sound and sonic realism to complement your DVD movie soundtracks. If you want a unified, stylish, and easy-to-use multi-format DVD player and VCR combo unit, look no further than the Toshiba SD-V296.

Note! This unit does not have a TV tuner.

ColorStream Pro Component Video Output
It achieves greater color accuracy and high resolution playback capability when connected via the component output to your projector, plasma and/or LCD/CRT televisions.
Progressive Scan
This unit incorporates a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.
192KHz/24-Bit Audio Processing
If you're looking for a DVD player with exquisite audio playback, this player will do the job. It features a digital-to-analog converter capable of processing audio at an incredible 192KHz/24-Bit range.
High-End DVD Outputs
With playback specifications that meet the standards of professionals, it features a component video output for high-resolution low-distortion video playback, and a coaxial digital audio output for high-quality audio playback.
Multi-Format Capability
It offers a full-range of playback capabilities for enjoying movies, music and images. It can playback DVD-Video, DVD-R/W, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, and MP3/WMA/JPEG image files.
One Touch Recording
It provides a simple and convenient way to make a recording. Simply setup the timer recording within a 24-hour period, and you're ready to record onto a VHS tape with the push of one button.
SQPB (S-VHS Quasi Playback)
This unit allows playback of Super VHS tapes with regular VHS resolution in SP mode. It does not record S-VHS.
Convenient Front-Panel Inputs
With front A/V inputs, you can plug your accessories directly into the unit without having to pull it out of your entertainment center and messing with the rear inputs.
Parental Lock
It features parental lock, for parents who want full control of media content played back through player.
Multi-Language System
You have the ability to select multi-language and multi-subtitle preferences.

    As with the old VCR this replaces, simply pop in a tape and it turns itself on and plays tape. Great for my folks; but they were overwhelmed by all the buttons on the remote, too much, too confusing. Younger people will like all the bells and whistles, but why would young people want a Video Tape player? And you can't record, as there is no digital tuner. Better off with the old separate machines...

      Comments about Toshiba SD-V296 DVD/VCR Combo Player:

      I purchased this product from B&H after searching for a DVD/VCR combo player and reading the reviews of other products. This Toshiba combo player is perfect for playing my old VCR tapes and my new and old DVD movies; my next step is to tape my favorite shows while I'm at work, and I'm sure this product will do that to my satisfication. The set up was quick and easy, and the picture is crystal clear. I would recommend this product to those of you who are on the fence about purchasing a DVD/VCR combo player.

                    I use this player for watching VHS tapes and DVDs at home. I use it no more than two to four hours a week, but so far I'm satisfied. The VHS player is remarkably quiet. The unit is easy set up and operated. At this point, I can't find any flaw with the unit.

The VCR component was also easy to use and gave excellent picture quality. Remote worked without a hitch. I would buy this product again.

                          We use 2 of these DVD/VCR players in our non-profit organization regularly for parenting classes! They have worked GREAT so far, and have definetely "done the job". Very user-friendly, and basic (just what we need). No complaints about it yet, other than wishing it was a bit smaller in size.

                            I bought this for my elderly uncle who likes to watch DVD's and VHS tapes. The setup was easy and that was the main reason that I bought this one. My uncle is very satisfied with this player and as long as he likes it, I give it the 4 stars.

                                I use this combo player to view DVD's and video cassettes. I was planning to use it to record video, too. However, there is no UHF input on the back of the unit - so I can't feed the cable signal directly in. I have a separate VCR for recording and then I watch video on this unit. It works very well and I've always been pleased with Toshiba products.

                                      I have only had this for a few weeks but one of the reasons I purchased it was because of the ease of setting up which is huge for poeple who are tech challenged! Set up was a breeze & the picture quality is great. I really only use it to watch videos & dvd's so it's great for me.

                                        I like this combination player, I bought it because I already own one just like it and needed another. The only thing that would have made it better would be a better price. You can buy machines that perform the same function for less, but Toshiba makes a good product and I expect that the quality will stand the test of time. SD-V296 DVD/VCR COMBO w/VCP
                                        Just one con: tiny buttons for VCP functions
