DisappointmentOct 15, 2011
By Todd W. Vansant
Bought this Blu-Ray player a couple weeks ago on sale. Bottom line is it plays Blu-Ray and DVD disks fine, but the problem with my unit is when you pause the disk for more than a few minutes. Once the screensaver takes control, the unit is basically dead with the only option to go back to the Toshiba menu. You can't un-pause, you can't resume from where you left off, the only buttons that work is "Stop" which is a full stop with the machine forgetting where you were, and "top menu" which takes you back to the Toshiba menu letting you start the disk over. Either way, you are heading into the chapter selector and finding where you left off and re-watching at least some of the movie. If you come to the TV prepared with popcorn, bathrooms done, and all drinks nearby, this isn't an issue, but who doesn't need the occasional bathroom break, or bag of popcorn?
Sound - At least for us, some movie's sound does not translate across the HDMI cable correctly. We have the BOSE system plugged into the TV now (because of this unit's limited ports - i.e. digital audio or even RCA audio) and now we're stuck listening to the TV's speakers. So we've upgraded to a digital video, but downgraded to worse audio. That's not nice...
Internet - Worked fine. Connected, browsed and ran movies. Everything here is to be expected, nothing exceptional, nothing bad. DLNA would have been a great bonus, but if you require it, keep looking!
Wi-Fi - Connected from across the house just fine. It's not N, but will connect B/G just fine which is more than you need for streaming. After I connected, I checked for any firmware upgrades, and there were none available.
Remote Control - Buttons (to me) seemed a little out of order, pause is down below the main rows of controls. If you are in a dark room, forget trying to find a button.
Toshiba Menu - Everything here is as expected. Easy to find stuff, but this is my first experience with this type of system. Controls seem a little laggy, but this isn't a top-of-the-line machine, so it's to be expected.
Functionality - Why is it when you want to eject a disk, you can't ever get it open? This isn't the only system I've seen to frustrate me. Turn on the machine, give it a few seconds to power up, hit eject - nothing. Hit it again - nothing. Two or three more times - nothing. Then randomly the tray comes out 1/4 inch, then goes back in as it digests the back-log of button presses. Toshiba (and other manufacturers), UNDERSTAND THIS, when I turn on the Blu-Ray player, I'm going to want to put a disk in - this is why I turned it on... I don't want to wait a minute while your machine "boots".
All in all, good guest room system - as long as you don't mind frustrating your guests... I wouldn't use this as your daily-watcher. Spend another $20-30 and find a better system. Two stars because it does play Blu-Ray and DVD disks, but it's not a good buy! If you buy, save the box...
For me, this machine is going back to where I bought it.

 Basic PlayerOct 01, 2011
By M. MCCRARY
"Average Guy"
Picked up this unit from Best Buy in GA. Spent 99.99 on it and just wanted something basic and plain for the living room. Got it home and found out that it didn't have optical support and that is kind of a downer because everything runs from the stereo when we watch movies. Nice little unit if you don't need optical. I may regift it soon or sell it and get an upgrade in a few months.

You get what you pay for...Oct 31, 2011
By McGyver
...which is not a lot. It's small, fairly good looking in a nondescript kind of way, is not riddled with buttons on the front panel, has Wifi and Netflix (nice combo) and a remote with an OK set of buttons.
Speaking of which (the remote that is), it has some weird connectivity problem. I used to own a Samsung DVD with HDD that had a very narrow field of reception, this is better but somewhat unresponsive. Sometimes you have to press a button three or four times before it reacts. Not OK.
And it does not support subtitles for Netflix. Which is lame since it's a very new model released only months ago. Reminds me of Xbox 360: no subtitles support for playback from USB. Why? Bill knows. So, Mr. Toshiba boss; why no subtitles?
Oh and the Wifi, while nice and built in and no problems connecting is very slow on the uptake. Start the device, sit around and wait for it to connect. Not like the Toshiba laptop I'm writing this on which connects super fast.
But strangest of all, I leave it on in Netflix menu, screensaver kicks in. Then it goes into sleep mode. When I wake it from sleep mode I can't get picture from it. The TV finds the signal but the picture is all black. I have to pull the cord and reconnect it before getting picture again.
So do yourself a favour; wait another month, save a few more bucks and buy something else than this.

 Toshiba BDX2250 DO NOT BUYMar 27, 2012
By Baron
I've had this BRD player for about a month. From the moment I hooked it up it has made WEIRD noises, like its confused. Loved all the features, but again trying access any of them the screen freezes. Try to bypass the remote buttons by pressing buttons on the actual player NADA. I'm looking at a frozen screen right now. TAKING it BACK! I'll try the Sony.
Can you put a negative star rating?

Piece of junkMar 16, 2012
By Chelle
I wish I still had the packaging so I could return it.
Problem #1: there is a huge lag with the remote. Like 3-5 seconds or more plus it seems like the remote has to be pointed at it just right to even register.
Problem #2: when playing blu rays it's a bit skippy and also takes forever to even load the movie.
Problem #3: when I try to watch something on Netflix (which is what I use the player for most), again the lag when moving through the menus is horrible. Plus when I try to watch something 50% of the time it will start with just audio and a black screen. I usually have to exit out of Netflix then go back in and try again in order to get sound and a picture. About 10% of the time it will play the picture with no sound. And only about 40% of the time it will play a video correctly on the first try.
I really wish we would have read reviews before shopping for a blu ray player.
