When my old Toshiba SD-220E Multiregional DVD Player refused to play any more DVDs or CDs I realised it was time to retire “old faithful” and get a new DVD player fast. After reviewing the features available I decided on the Toshiba SD-590 Multiregional Player with upscaling.

The first thing that surprised me, when the player arrived, was how light it was, my old SD-220E is a tank by comparison. The next thing was ease of installation, as my various cables were already in place, I just replaced my old player with the new SD-590. And that was that, the player worked first time and played my first couple of DVDs without any problems. And I did not have to go into the player’s setup menu to do anything extra, it just worked

One small point to consider, I found that the SD-590’s response times (from pressing a command on the remote to the player performing that action) were slightly slower than my old SD-220E but not so much that would cause much concern.

Finally, I would recommend this player to anyone that does not want to be limited to only playing Region 2 DVDs. Not only that, there are enough extra facilities available to keep those technically inclined moderately happy.

As for me, I’m just happy that I have a new multiregional player that slipped effortlessly into the space vacated by my dear departed SD-220E.

Good player, appears to do what it says on the tin. Upscaling provides an impressive image via HDMI link to my Toshiba 37inch LCD TV; Regaza interface works fine. Coax audio output provides excellent quality sound via my (real) HiFi; recommended. Not all features explored but very happy with it so far.
