I had a chance to play with a friend's Toshiba SD-6200 recently. Now I've got one on the way.They are superb--I am especially smitten with the progressive scan output on the 6200. I tried a cheaper progressive scan player, the Pioneer 434, and it doesn't offer the film-like picture quality of the Toshiba.
I believe the SD-6200 replaces the Toshiba SD-5109.
The advantage it offers to the SD-5109 is some control over the presentation of non-letterboxed anamorphic DVD's (correct me if I'm wrong)
I'd suspect that the 5109 also offers color controls like the SD-6200.
(BTW, what is the advantage of adjusting the DVD controls vs. the TV controls? I tend to adjust the TV using Video Essentials--and leave the DVD controls alone.)
The only thing I don't like about the Toshiba's are their dual-tray design. A single drawer mechanism seems like it would be far more robust.
But their video quality is unbelievable.
