Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's SD-3980 single-disc DVD player packs a serious home-theater punch for an amazingly low price. Its progressive-scan ColorStream Pro component-video output produces seamless, flicker-free images for high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding let you compile music on your PC and listen to it on your stereo or TV, and you can even watch customized digital-photo slideshows using recordable CDs filled with standard JPEG image files. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-3980 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs via 10-bit/54 MHz processing. 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-3980 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion. Conventional composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The "expanded" mode in the player's black-level setting produces richer, deeper black tones in every image. PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generation Equipment) delivers black as well as below-black signals to a television. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player's internal digital-to-analog converters work at 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution to ensure optimum sonic quality from a range of digital program material. Enhanced Audio Mode (E.A.M.) offers three sound settings: normal (boosts regular digital audio signals), 3-D (virtual surround sound enhancement via Spatializer N-2-2), and dialogue expander (which enhances center-channel frequencies in the range of human voices during playback of Dolby Digital multichannel content). Other playback options include Power Picture Zoom (which lets you magnify a select area of an image), bookmarking (up to 9 marks), and parental lock. What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

 Toshiba SD3980 Died after viewing 42 movies July 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The player was in an excellent environment... level, clean, cool and no static. It mostly performed well until this last attempt to watch a movie when it could no longer read any disk... DVDs, MP3s, audio CDs. Tried unplugging to reset it and took off the cover to see if it could still spin a disk. After spinning a disk counter-clockwise until the LED on the panel displayed "BAD", the disk would stop and spin clockwise.
It's replacement won't be Toshiba.

I received a Toshiba SD-3980-SU2 DVD player for Christmas 2005. I rarely used it. It died suddenly on 1/22/08 while playing a DVD. Now I get "bad" and "Incorrect Disc" messages whenever I try to load a CD or DVD. I can't even get the CD/DVD lens cleaner CD I bought (which someone recommended trying) to load and run.
I just Googled my model and found a note for Owners of Toshiba SD-3980 and SD-K750 DVD players saying that units ending in -SU2 may stop playing discs due to a component part failure. It says to call Toshiba at 1-800-631-3811 for information on how to obtain a replacement unit.

i got online today to see if i could troubleshoot before i gave my toshiba SD3980 to the local junk recycler, and found all these BAD reviews instead. as with you all, the tray became sluggish and every disk displayed "BAD". i decided to call toshiba customer service: 800-319-6684. just got off the phone and give them 5 stars for their assistance. i told them i would not pay $10-15 to ship trash back to them, and that i did not want another SD3980. they are sending me a "call tag", which is a pre-paid mailing label that i can stick on a box and send them this thing back FOR FREE. they will then send me a new SD4000. they said they have had no problems with this new model. i don't have my receipt anymore so they told me to just include a letter stating this fact.
so altho not at all pleased with the product, am very pleased - SO FAR- with customer service.
Don't even think of buying July 7, 2007
Like other reviewers I have experienced the "Incorrect Disk" error after very minimal use. I won't even think of taking it in for a repair. Hello trash can.

I purchased this product because I own a toshiba laptop that I am quite pleased with. Just because a company makes a good laptop doesn't mean their other products are good. My wife and I watch movies pretty regularly. Sure enough, after about a year of use, the dvd player has increasingly been giving "bad disc" errors. I wish I had read the reviews before buying. Oh well. Sorry Toshiba, you can have your player back.
