"Bought as birthday present for friend. She needed a cd player...hers died. Also, had long given up her VCR because she thought she'd never use it again, but regretted it. (we tried to watch a movie that is only avail in VHS tape...yes, there are some) This was easy to hook up for her, and of course, with her old receiver and speakers to it, she uses it as a cd player, too! ( the DVD unit can be used for CD's). So, can't beat the price. She said it is very 'cool' looking.....like new electronic styling. Another great deal from the O!"

"This is a great little machine!!!! I am not technology oriented and I was able to hook it up, figure out how to use it, and pleasantly surprised at the marvelous picture it played from DVD's that did not show well on my big set. This is a quality product, that performs perfectly and even looks great!!!!"

"First, I will say that this player meets my needs for my classroom, since the school district is no longer purchasing VHS players. The DVD drop-down cover does not close (broken spring), and I can't rewind part of VHS video while playing it - I must stop and then rewind and then play again. Could I return it? Sure - but it's OK for what I need."

"I know that vhs tapes are a thing of the past, but I still needed a machine to play the ones I have, so this was a great purchase. You can't beat the price, and setup could not have been easier...Iiterally from opening the box to watching movies was under two minutes."

"Really basic machine. If you're looking for something that can play DVDs and VHS tapes, this works perfectly. If you're looking for a machine that can do more, then this item is probaly not for you. I've had the machine for about a 1 month and have experienced no problems. Set up was pretty simple. The remote is pretty basic. This unit cannot record DVD or transfer VHS content to DVD. If this is what you're looking for, this is not for you."

Toshiba - Double Good Fun, May 23, 2009
By Kuklapolitan from Danbury, Connecticut

"I've had my Toshiba for years and it's a great dual source player. I decided to buy this as a gift and the recipients love it. Anyone who has both a VHS and DVD collection needs a machine like this and Toshiba's is tops in my book!"

"A really fine product, performs beautifully. (I purchased two)The only slight negative are the comparatively small buttons and print on a comparatively small Remote. I had to squint for a while until I got used to the "key board".

Tech Support and Customer Service:
Toshiba offers only automated support for this product unless you live in Canada which I found very annoying.
I therefore had to get my cable company to set them up as they needed additional cables. Only a "live" and electronically knowledgeable person would know this.
By the way, both of my TV's are state-of-the-art".

My experience with Overstock has been great!
