Hi David I have had my Toshiba since last Monday. I bought it from Leading Edge. I replaced a Proline 1000 with it. I am using it with a Philips Widescreen TV and a Sony 930 DTS Dolby Digital receiver. So far the machine has played every disk I have tried. These include Patriot RCE, Dinosaur Special edition. It even played a Hong Kong version Couching Tiger, which would not play on the Proline without blocking. DTS disks such as Dances With Wolves sound stunning. Picture quality through SVideo ist as good as I would want. It also plays MP3`s CDR`s and SVCD`s without fault. Originaly I thought that it was noisier than it should be, however compared to the Pioneers I have heard, the Philips 711 and the LG3200, all of which I have auditioned, it is almost silent when playing the disk. I would have no hesitation in recommending both the machine and Leading Edge Concepts

It also has RGB for even better picture quality. I my opinion this is the best value for money available today. Only drawback I can see with this player is for those with large projectors that suffer with Macrovision, it is dificult to remove macrovision on this model.

Hi I`m sorry I don`t know the difference between my player and the 200e. The Toshiba UK site gives full spec for the 210e. I bought mine from Leading Edge Concepts for £199 + £10 next day deleivery. Their service so far has been great. Suggest you ring them or Upgrade Heaven who may be able to answer your query.

the 210 only has 500 lines of resolution whereas the 200 has 540. AQlso, the 200 has a built in 5.1 decoder and the 210 don`t. the 210e costs around £180.

The 210 & the 200 are completly different machines. Toshiba have used cheaper components but added more software features hence the build and quality will be different.
In fact if anything the 210 replaces the 100 .
This is a great sub £250.00 player the best available at the moment until we see what the Hitachi 515 is like.
