I did my homework and decided on the D-R400 due to it's low price, clean appearance, and full features. I was disappointed at the first box store when told they were out of stock and not due to be replenished. The saleperson told me that the Toshiba D-R410 has replaced the 400, but is not as full...

When Blu-Ray was declared the winner it seemed to make sense to buy a Blu-Ray player from the father of Blu-Ray. As far as picture and sound quality the decision was fine. But for all but the most...
