Toshiba SD-43HT DVD Player

The Toshiba SD-43HTSU and at least one other Toshiba system has a high failure rate. The unit comes on, displays "Hello...Protection...Goodbye" and shuts off. Search of the web and a call to Toshiba both blame the problem on C27. For those not...

I should have read these customer complaints before purchase the Toshiba SD-43HT about a year ago. I'm now end up with "Hello...Protection...Good-Bye" Club. This "Protection" problem keeps DVD automatically shut off every time you try to turn it on....

I have two systems. One has worked fine for probably about a year. But the second newer one just got the same "HELLO PROTECTION GOODBYE" fault that so many people seem to be getting. The class action suit looks like it is at: http://www.dvdnotice.com/...

Digital(TOSLINK)IN. Easy setup, warm sound, cheap, sub requires no external power

underpowered, tedious to tweak individual speaker levels
