Great blu-ray player and Netflix player,
I am happy with this blu-ray player. No problems with it whatsoever. The picture quality is great on my Toshiba LED LCD tv and the netflix streaming works well also. It has a very clean look to it also since it has the touch screen buttons on the front which are not visible when the unit is off.

|A player to avoid,
I have a Toshiba DVD player from way back in the day that still works extremely well. Because of the success I had with this, when I bought a Blu-ray I thought I would try Toshiba again. Big mistake.
There is, in fact, only a little positive feedback that I can give about the player. I had no problem with the wireless and it does do Netflix pretty well. However, the praise ends there. I got this back in April, and I really tried to convince myself this was going to work out. I got a few firmware updates and I was hopeful at one point.
Major problems:
It seems that I have to go back to the main “Home” menu on the player before I turn it off. If I don’t, it will often only half turn off and the only recourse is to unplug the unit for a few seconds. I figured there would eventually be an upgrade that would fix this, so I decided to live with it. Last firmware was 5 months ago, however…I rearranged the plugs on my power strip to compensate.)
I also recently tried to play the Incredibles Blu-Ray. Everything worked perfectly until the actual movie started. There was no audio! I couldn’t believe it. All other audio tracks on the disk worked, just not the main one. The disc played fine on my Samsung player as well as my laptop. I have the Toshiba player hooked up to a receiver using the co-ax digital output and via HDMI to the tv. Neither output does anything for the actual movie. I didn’t try the analog audio output.)
It has played other discs fine, so I am not sure what the problem is. I was so mad I called Toshiba tech support. After doing a lot of the random senseless stuff that tech support generally has one do, they were finally convinced that the player was not working. So, what happened? They said some other tech would call me back to verify my firmware. So far no call, but according to the website, it has the latest version.)
Lastly, I would like to add that the unit’s display only shows the currently playing track. There is no option for any other more useful display. I have no idea why they did this, unless they had some leftover prototype displays laying around from the 80′s. Which, really isn’t fair to that decade, as I still have a CD player from that era that works perfectly and has a much better display.)
Sorry Toshiba. I still like my old DVD player, but my Toshiba buying days are over.

|Gotta Baby the BDX5200 Or It’ll Crash,
I’m giving this two stars only because it works, barely. Toshiba should be ashamed of itself, really, for allowing this to go to market. I can only think there must be something about the technology that makes it harder than it should be. First, the wireless connection was difficult to setup, but if you have your router password and know a little bit about setting up wireless you should be OK. The real problem is, if you don’t back out of the system all the way to the home menu the machine will lock up on you (completely crash). The review where the person said they had to rearrange their power strip made me laugh. This unit has caused me to be on my belly reaching back to the power strip about ten times in two months. You have to unplug it to reset it. The controller sucks. Netflix and Pandora work well on it. You just have to baby this thing. It’s like a slow processor or something. Really, it is not worth the money and in all seriousness is practically worthless. I am only using it because I hooked it up and I know the glitches by now…so I’ll live with it for a while, but Toshiba should really be held to task for letting it go to market.
