Got it all connected and working. For high end audio, this is, so far, nothing special. The video output looks good. Up against a much more costly SACD player, this little Toshiba is not even competitive. Based on only 1 disk however.

Toshiba isn't exactly the last word on audio quality. And unfortunately, even though they are a co-developer of the DVD format, the video quality in their players is a few steps behind as well.I have a Panasonic RP91 set up in a similar configuration (feeding a receiver and a television) in the bedroom system. The audio quality is acceptable , but the video quality (even in interlaced mode via S-video) is at the top of the ladder.
this was a $120 mail order deal and it's a universal player, CD, SACD and DVD-A. I have a CD/SACD player, the Sony SCD-1, that cost me about 30 times more than that. So I did not expect miracles. So far, no miracles.For video OTOH this is just what I needed, feeding component video to a Toshiba TV, the picture looks fine, I don't have plasma or anything like that. Obviously if I had more expensive display, I would get a higher quality DVD player. But this is perfect for its current use. And it's nice to have a backup SACD player, and if I decide to experiment with multichannel, I can do that now.
