Query: Really a big let down.

This player comes with a remote, which is nice, but the remote doesn't do 2 very important tasks. You can't turn the machine on or off from the remote, nor can you adjust the volume from the remote. Why, Toshiba, why? Also, this player performs very poorly after extended play times. i.e. once it gets hot it doesn't like to play smoothly. DVDs, even brand new out of the case, play really choppy and are stop and go. Lastly; the player makes terrible, almost grinding, noises when playing DVDs. These noises are sometimes so loud that you can't even hear the movie. If it were a VHS player, I would expect the tapes to come out in pieces! Not a good buy for the price I paid.
