Page 1 of Toshiba SD510E

Anyone got one ? I`m looking for my first player, and am interested in hedging my bets about DVD-Audio.

I want to play multiregion, but the only one I`ve seen is from LeConcepts at 399 quid. Anyone found one cheaper ?

I`m torn between this and a Pioneer DV-545. LinkOnline have this at 250 quid.

Just purchased but found it has a niosy deck like the 210. Features good and picture.do not know in regard Dvd audio as the disc are £25.00 plus limited artists. Main thing is the picture but that noisy deck??????????? Price paid £249.99

most shops seem to have sold out of the Pioneer 545. The ones that have one want more money. Pioneer UK seems to run out with lead tmes of about 2 weeks +.

I couldn`t wait and went for the 444 multi-region + macrovision disabled from AV Land.

That`s a good price. Where from ?

I`ve seen it at Techtronics.com for 319 quid fully modded or 295 quid Region 2 only.Includes delivery.
I`ve got the 2109 but my new tele has got component inputs so I want to change it.I`m torn between SD2110E or SD510E. I can`t find any reviews that tell me which is better.

Guys,

Having just borrowed one of these machines of my mate for review purposes, i can wholly say that the 510e beats the Pioneer machines hands down. For £400, (but i`ve seen it as low as £249), you get;progressive scan, DVD Audio, component video outputs, 5.1 decoder, HDCD Decoding, bomb proof build, and simply stunning picture quality. Viewing Disneys Atlantis was simply sublime-with the lights down it was as if there was no screen, just some 3D picture show going on inside a box made by Toshiba!
If you can hunt one down, get one-its the unsung daddy of the mid price decks (dare i say, on an even par with my Sony DVPNS900!!??).

P.S. I`ve just read What Hifi, they give it five stars :-)

Is the picture quality on this better than the Sony 735D? Would I be better buying this Toshiba or should I go for the Sony which costs £360.

I cant comment on the Tosh, but I own the Sony 735D and it is superb. Quality Transfers are outstanding. Despite that fact that I have watched Gladiator numerous times, the first time I saw it on the Sony was like watching it from scratch -seriously...
I could not believe how much more I saw, especially in the background of the picture, ie, in the colosuem. Over the moon, as all AV aspects are top notch.

Brief but to the point.

Pete.

With a decent, large widescreen tv the 510e will knock spots off the 735d (oh how i miss mine-such a top machine Pete, never sell it!), but on a 4;3 tv or a standard curved screen tv the picture will look almost the same as anything else.
If you`re prepared to use some quality cabling to get the most from it, the 510e will make everyone in your street wild with jealousy!

I have looking around the net for the best price on this deck, and nobody comes close to the £249 you both mention in your posts - perhaps you can let us know who is selling the player at this price, and whether it is available in black. LeConcepts are the only supplier I have come across with this option, but at a cool £399 for a multiregion model.
