Product Description
Toshiba includes performance-enhancement and convenience features throughout its entire DVD line, and the SD2700 exemplifies the company's commitment to high-performance and high-value. A special Picture Preference mode (designated as EPM on the remote control) offers viewers a choice of two black level settings and three pre-set picture modes. The NORMAL setting provides the NTSC standard black cutoff level of 7.5ire. The Enhanced Black Level is pre-set for zero black level cutoff, providing a wider dynamic range of Brightness (black level). The three pre-set picture modes include: MOVIE ONE, for enhanced contrast and brighter black levels; MOVIE TWO for softer, more lustrous color rendition, with a glossy tone; and ANIMATION, which enhances the image by brightening colors and providing for rich, solid black reproduction. For optimum audio performance, the SD2700 features coaxial and optical digital audio outputs, permitting external decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded soundtracks. In addition, HDCD precision filtering and decoding provides true 20-bit audio resolution from the growing number of HDCD-enhanced CDs and also enhances the playback sound of conventional CDs.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Toshiba SD2700 DVD player has all the standard features Toshiba incorporates into their DVD players, such as parallel video output, Dolby Digital and DTS compatible output, Spatializer N-2-2 virtual surround sound, three slow-motion speeds, and an icon-based onscreen display. But on this model, they've gone one step further by adding HDCD precision filtering and decoding for HDCD playback, and they've made it DVD/CD/Video CD/CD-R//DVD-R compatible.

Key features also include ColorStream component-video outputs. This component-video connection is the ideal way to connect a digital video source like DVD to a TV display resulting in increased image purity, incredibly lifelike colors, and crisp color resolutions. The 10-bit D/A converter with high-resolution filter ensures excellent picture quality, while the 24-bit/192 kHz audio converter with dialogue enhancement renders clear and dynamic sound reproduction.

Some of the more convenient features are four forward and reverse scan speeds and a unique first-setup menu that assists viewers in accurately setting up their player to suit their system's capabilities. Parental lock, time search, camera angle select, and 4-power picture zoom are all included on this model, as are S-video, composite video, and coaxial digital outputs, giving you a wide range of connection options.

The SD2700 comes with a remote control and a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor from Toshiba.
