Amazon Renewed Disc Player Review
Our verdict
This Amazon Renewed Toshiba Blu-ray player offers 1080p Full HD playback with both HDMI and RCA outputs, but its 3.8-star average from 204 reviewers and the $244.99 asking price are both cause for caution in a market full of cheaper, newer options. Renewed units can be good value, but the numbers here are not compelling.

204 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['At $244.99, this Amazon Renewed Toshiba Blu-ray player is priced significantly higher than most new disc players with comparable specs. It delivers 1080p Full HD over HDMI and includes an RCA output for older displays, which gives it some connection flexibility.', 'The 3.8-star average across 204 ratings is the key concern here. A score at that level with a relatively modest review count suggests a mixed ownership experience. Renewed electronics always carry some variability in condition, and a 3.8 average indicates that a notable share of buyers ran into issues.', 'If budget is not a constraint and you need this specific model, the Amazon Renewed program does include a minimum 90-day guarantee. However, most buyers would get more reliability and better long-term support by purchasing a new player at a similar or lower price.']
