Product Description

Product Description

Building on the success of their previous award-winning models, Toshiba has launched the SD330E, a well-specified and great-looking DVD player that will no doubt net Toshiba yet more awards and accolades. The SD330E has the same 430 mm(w) x 220 mm(d) footprint as on the SD220, although Toshiba has shaved off a few millimetres from the height to make it a very tidy 60 mm tall. The angled front facia has been retained, making the SD330E still as aesthetically pleasing to look at.

It isn't just good looks that set this player apart from the competition. The SD330E retains the high-quality video and audio playback that won the SD220 so many fans. Enhanced Picture Mode gives you five settings, covering Light, Normal, Movie 1, Movie 2 and Animation. While Enhanced Audio Mode will produce a virtual 3-D surround sound from just two speakers as well as a dialogue mode that makes speech easier to hear. The SD330E has the same set of audio and video connections that are present on the SD220 including a single RGB SCART socket, S-Video, composite and component video (Y/Pb/Pr) outputs. There are analogue, digital coaxial and digital optical outputs for audio.

New additions to the SD330E include WMA audio CD playback in addition to the existing MP3 audio playback. However, one of the most exciting features for digital photography fans is the inclusion of JPEG image CD playback. Simply insert a CD containing JPEG image files and view them on your TV. You can view images individually or as a slideshow.

Manufacturer's Description

Studio quality sound and images, plus a wealth of extra 'information' on a CD-sized disc, DVD will revolutionize your TV viewing. Toshiba's range has something for everyone, from the experienced home cinema audiophile to the surround sound novice.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Purchase!!, 7 July 2003
This review is from: Toshiba SD330E Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)
I ordered the SD330 last week from Amazon as my old Multi Region player had started to "die" and it would have cost nearly as much to have that one repaired.
This therefore was something of a "crisis" purchase!
Having said all that though I can only speak of my new DVD player with absolute praise.
The picture is clearer and better defined and the sound quality is fantastic compared to my old machine (the Yello, if anyone remembers that one!!)
There are three sound modes - Normal, 3D and Dialogue.
I have found that the Dialogue mode suits my set up best with the speech suddenly appearing more focused, without any detraction from the overall sound quality.
The machine itself is very sexy looking, being only 60mm tall and with attractive use of glass fronting and neat buttons it slots in very neatly, making other components look fat and ugly in comparison!
The remote is slim and light and all functions become easy to use after the first couple of exploratory sessions.

There are a decent selction of connection options and the machine appears to play all formats without any problem.
The only slight "scare" initially for me was when I first attempted to play a region 1 disc and the picture was presented in Black and White!
This, though was soon remedied by adjusting the setting from Video to RGB (whatever that stands for) and a colour picture was gratefully received.
In terms of value...I paid the 99.99 price tag and feel that I have really got my moneys worth...
I just wish I could have waited for this weeks new offer 79.99!!
How gutting is that!
In terms of delivery...go for the saver option as its free and Parcel Force are pretty reliable for their part.
I ordered two of these machines, one for a friend, and both arrived earlier than the predicted time on screen.
Parcel Force also had that decent old-fashioned "common sense" idea of trying a neighbour for one of the deliveries as I was out - so no trudging off to a depot to recover the machine.
All in all a most satisfactory experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars All round great performer, 29 Nov 2003
By 
The Five Sisters (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Toshiba SD330E Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)
I bought the Toshiba SD330E for my parents after being very impressed with Toshiba's previous model, the SD220E. The picture quality is superb, even when only connected with a dirt cheap SCART lead. It's mainly used for region 2 DVDs, but has had no problems with other regions or with various other formats such as VCD. It supports disc resume (an essential feature in my book)and has a great remote from which it is possible to carry out all functions. As a bonus, if you lose the remote, it functions fully from the buttons on the front of the machine. It's small and looks very sleek, and the cherry on the cake is the fantastic price. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars A versatile bargain, 11 Sep 2003
This review is from: Toshiba SD330E Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)
Considering the price, this player does all you could ask for and then some.
Having used it for a couple of months now I have yet to insert any type of disc that it cannot make sense of.

Overall, there is little to complain about. It has a good set of connectors (scart, rca, optical). The on-screen menu system is also clear, if with somewhat small and cryptic icons. The only thing I would change is the colour of the text on the remote control. White text on light grey plastic means you need to have access to a good source of light to be able to read what the various buttons do. However if you regularly use the remote you will eventually learn what the buttons do without looking.

If you're looking for a good, low priced, no nonsense, DVD that reads nearly every format imaginable and performs as well as much more expensive players - this is the one!
