Amazon.com Product Description
The progressive-scanning SD-V391 is a convenient, one-unit source for high-quality DVD and VHS entertainment. The DVD deck plays a variety of optical content, including DVD-Video, DVD-R, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and video CD, as well as MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. A four-head, hi-fi VCR provides exciting stereo playback for your entire library of VHS tapes. You can even copy non-Macrovision-protected DVDs to videotape--perfect for sharing edited, DVD-based home movies with loved ones.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-V391 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-V391 also performs 3:2 pulldown (Toshiba's Digital Cinema Progressive). DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
Into digital photography? This dual-deck model is a perfect complement to your hobby. Its JPEG feature makes it easy to view digital photo shots burned to recordable CDs from a variety of digital cameras. The unit's array of home-theater-ready video connections includes composite-, S-video, and ColorStream Pro component-video outputs (the VCR requires its own composite-video or RF audio/video connection). The DVD player's internal digital-to-analog converters work at 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution to ensure optimum sonic quality from a range of digital program material.
Two sets of left/right analog-audio outputs (one each for the DVD player and the VCR) channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals from DVDs can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. In addition, readily accessible front-panel AV inputs permit easy connection for a game console or a camcorder for simple dubbing of home movies to the VHS deck.
For enhanced picture quality during VHS playback, the four-head hi-fi VCR uses a pair of 19-micron video heads, which deliver exceptional (near SP) picture quality of content recorded and played back in the extended play (EP) mode. Commercial skip lets you pass over commercials during playback. Other features include one-year, eight-event programming, high-speed (200x) rewind and fast-forward, index skip, auto head cleaner, and auto clock set--no more flashing "12:00"!
What's in the Box
DVD player/VCR, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and a coaxial video cable.
Customer Reviews:
Toshiba, great customer service !.......2007-12-11
I purchased this refurbished DVD/VCR combo and received a very satisfactory product. However, I had some questions on operation of
a couple functions. I called the customer service number given in
above review (1-800-631-3811) and received VERY prompt and courteous
and helpful advice. I was so pleased with the customer service; felt I
should drop a line in appreciation.
Combo Deck.......2007-01-03
The DVD deck faild on this unit in less than one year. I have been a loyal Toshiba customer for years, but after using this unit, which has been unreliable for quite a while now, I will be shopping for other brands.
Toshiba is sending me a new unit!!.......2004-06-25
I bought mine in Oct. of 2003. I have the same problem with the DVD player that others have been complaining about. I called Toshiba and a VERY nice lady is sending me a new updated model as soon as I send in my old unit. The trick is to call Toshiba's Customer Service number (800) 631-3811.
This certainly is much better than Panasonic or Sony has treated me in the recent past with my VCR players. I highly recommend anything Toshiba!!!
Loved it till it broke.......2004-06-07
Loved the easy hook-up, easy use of remote, looked nice and played fine. Purchased 11-06-03, and the DVD part stopped without warning 05-29-04. The kids never touched this one; it was all for Mommy and therefore subject to only gentle use. Now if you put a DVD in, it takes a long time to load, then comes up "ERR." And now the door makes a grinding noise when it opens. Severely disappointed, heartbroken, etc. Apparently VCRs, DVD players, and these combo units are meant to be disposable - work six months and then discard. If so, we may as well disregard brand names and buy the cheapest ones available. Forget quality, reliability, and pride of workmanship - those are things of the past.
Globalization: You get what you pay for (and deserve).......2004-05-04
Like cheap prices on products made in China? Do you actually expect them to work like Japanese electronics manufactured in the 1980's just because the Japanese brand is printed on the cabinet? Get real. There's no such a thing as a free-lunch. DVD margins are too low. So is quality. Period.
If your unit is misbehaving, try to cool it off. I have two of these gizmos (one upstairs and one downstairs), and I when I re-arranged my cabinets to give them more air and when I run them with the cabinet doors open, they behave. When they warm up, they stop running properly. Both units suffer from a heat-related transient defect that probably comes from mediocre manufacturing quality and components.
All this delight derives from paying employees $400 per year and keeping them in working conditions that would scare an American coal miner during the 1890's.

2 years out and going in the trash........2006-08-05
With good care of DVD's and limited use, this unit started showing alot of DVD play problems at 18 months. Many DVD's would not play at all, or would take several attempts to play, even ones directly out of the box.
At 21 months, DVD completely unusable, and heading to the donation pile.
Very disappointed, nice looking unit, with decent interface controls. Cannot recommend at all.
Cassette ejection problem.......2006-03-27
I received this unit as a Christmas gift 2004 and have had no problem with the DVD door. However, twice a cassette has become stuck in the VCR. The first time I was able to get it out, but this time no luck. I tried unplugging the unit and trying the eject button again without success. Next step to call Toshiba for assistance, if no help no more Toshiba products
Hunk of Junk!.......2005-06-06
After reading positive reviews about this set have had nothing but problems when trying to view DVD's. Stutters, freezes, and stops playing DVD's either new or rented. It might work 50% of the time. It might be just my unit but I'm very dissatisfied with this model.
DO NOT BUY.......2005-01-18
DVD got so many problems. Just don't buy this one. Noises, recognition problems... I should have a Samsung one instead; Japanese product doesn't guarantee the quality.
