Toshiba DR420 DVD Recorder


The DR420 is an excellent solution for archiving your favorite home movies to DVD. That's not all; the DR420 also enhances your DVD collection with 1080p upconversion to near HD picture quality via HDMI™.


Mustek MP95 Portable DVD Player


Certain to turn heads wherever it travels, the MP95's super-sleek, sophisticated housing contains a nine-inch active-matrix TFT widescreen incorporating 16:9 aspect ratio for widescreen viewing of movies in DVD-Video, DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+R/DVD+RW formats. Maximizing the cinematic experience is a feature set that includes Dolby® digital decoding, 5.1 channel Virtual 3D Surround Sound, built-in stereo speakers, and progressive scan output. As an option, the MP95 is available with DivX playback, a popular format used to view movies downloaded from the Internet and stored on a CD-R/RW.Minimize


Toshiba SD-V296


Combines the picture and sound advantages of a progressive scan DVD player with the convenient recording 1, 2 and playback options of a video cassette recorder - all in one slim chassis. One Touch Recording for the VCR provides a simple and convenient way to make a recording. Simply connect your DVD/VCR to your cable or satellite box and then to your monitor/TV and you are set to record a tape with the push of one button!Minimize


Coby DVD-224


Coby's DVD-224 is about the size of a hardcover book, so whether you're ferrying the player between the kitchen and the bedroom or hooking it up for periodic use by the kids, the DVD-224's small size permits enjoyment of DVD programs and music CDs in just about any room you want. While not portable in the traditional sense--the unit has no screen and requires AC power--the DVD-224 is much easier to move around, set-up, and use than a traditional component DVD player.Minimize
