Quality player at a bargain price
I bought this Toshiba dvd player to replace my more expensive Samsung 1080p upscaling dvd player because it didn't have a USB port and i can honestly say i'm impressed with it.

The upscaling is great via HDMI, disc loading is quiet and fast,it can even play MP3 DVD's which many players struggle with. The front LED doesn't give much info but this isn't a negative point for me as the on-screen display more than makes up for that and i don't get distracted with too many flashing lights on the front of the dvd player while i'm watching a film etc!

It is really quiet (I also have a Phillips USB dvd player in my bedroom but it is very slow and noisy in comparison and the remote is horrendous, you have to have it in just the right place or it doesn't work at all)Just to add i haven't noticed any beeping coming from the unit that another reviewer mentioned so i can only assume they had a faulty product maybe?

Finally the USB port is fantastic for all your file types, Divx, Avi, MP3, JPEG etc via a USB flash drive-loading times are good (depending on the speed of your flash drive) The book says it will only support upto 4GB flash drives and recommend PNY but i use a Buffalo 4GB flash drive and a Patriot Xporter XT 8GB flash drive with no problems at all. (The 8GB Patriot Flash is more expensive but much faster to transfer your data and takes less time for the dvd player to read the info - Read speeds of 25mbs and write speeds of upto 18mbs)

I'm hoping to try a 16gb flash drive with this dvd player next so if anyone gets to it first please post and let us know how you get on............

Overall a really good purchase which i can highly recommend. I used the free delivery service from Amazon which made it cheaper still-i ordered on a Monday and it was with me by Friday-great stuff!

8GB works well
Just to confirm that an 8GB USB flash drive (Sandisk Micro Cruzer) works well even though the instructions specify a 4GB limit. Has anyone tried 16GB yet?

Annoying bleeping noise!!
I bought this item on the strength of reviews on this site + amazon price was extremely competitive & agree that it plays/upscales pretty well. USB port is a strength if a bit unsightly.
The reason that I decided to write a review for the first time is that my player seems to be afflicted with the tendency to give out a constant low level beeping noise particularly when on standby!!??
Initially I thought this was noticeable just when I was very close to it but now that I know what I am listening for it is becoming more & more noticeable..driving me nuts!....have any other reviewers noticed the same issue I wonder if mine is faulty??
My other gripe with this item is the so called, "Regza link" The bumpf which came with my Tosh TV gave me the impression that this was some sort of intuitive system whereas in fact all it seems to do is enable use of the TV remote for the DVD player...not impressed.
Finally, I have noted that some discs appear to play quite noisily compared to my previous, "cheap" player & that the remote receiver seems to need a good long press of a button before it will recognise the input.Toshiba SD580EKTB DVD Player With 1080p Upscaling And USB Port

Fantastic Product
I bought this product and ordered it and an 8GB USB Stick at the same time, and then noticed that it only addressed 4GB from the reviews, however when I received the Toshiba, I plugged in the 8GB USB and it worked fine.. I bought the Flash Memory 8GB USB DRIVE, from Amazon and it works perfectly.
