Toshiba SD-P2900 10.2-Inch DivX Certified Portable DVD Player Reviews

The picture quality was fine for a portable and while spendy, the quality seemed to be worth it. The worst negative is that I've only had the player for 10 months and it already needs repair. Even at top volume the dialogue is difficult to hear, especially when people carry on quiet conversations. The negatives: VERY poor sound volume unless you use the headphones. The quality is worthless if the machine doesn't work. First, the good points; when I bought this player, I was very happy with it (although the buttons which looked like they were back lit when on, turned out not to be, so at night I frequently press the wrong button).

 

Lots of clanging and squeeking that makes me think it will stop playing at any moment. This was a refurbished player. Went for this one because of good reviews and larger screen. One DVD would not play at all- but played fine on my iMac computer later. Have only used a half dozen times- but it does seem to make a lot of noise as it sets up to play a DVD.

 

This was my first portable DVD player and I love it after about 6 months of use. With the large screen, excellent picture and battery life, I don't think you can find a better portable unit. I make frequent trips to China and I can't watch movies all the way there (13+ hours, but it gets me close :) The only potential negative is that it can be a little finicky when playing some DVDs, but that hasn't presented itself as a major problem. I guess it could be perceived as being a bit bulky, but I have a separate case for it, and the large screen and long battery life make it worth it. I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life.

 

Not a good buy for the price I paid. Why, Toshiba, why. 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.

i.e. These noises are sometimes so loud that you can't even hear the movie. You can't turn the machine on or off from the remote, nor can you adjust the volume from the remote. This player comes with a remote, which is nice, but the remote doesn't do 2 very important tasks.

Lastly; the player makes terrible, almost grinding, noises when playing DVDs. Also, this player performs very poorly after extended play times. If it were a VHS player, I would expect the tapes to come out in pieces.

 

When you try to turn the volume all the way up it goes completely off. What a dud. The speakers are fine if you are inside watching a movie. However, if you are riding in the car it's really hard to hear the movie even if you turn the volume up all the way. I was going on a long road trip and was really excited about buying this product. I read several of the reviews before I decided on this DVD player. Actually, I am going to send this DVD player back because the volume knob on the side of the player has a short in it.
