Summary: Awesome DVD player
Review: After researching portable dvd players extensively, I finally bought these and I can't complain ONE bit. I was deciding between the Sonys, Panasonics and Toshibas and while they are all very similiar in picture quality I felt Toshiba was the best for features, reviews and price. The picture is really amazing and while the speakers are a bit lacking, that is true for the majority of portable dvd players. The only problem I've had is that it states that it plays video cd's but so far I have not been able to play any of them. The battery life is outstanding. The manual says it's good for 3.5 hours but I used them for almost 4.5 hours. I watched mystic river and (6) 25 minute episodes of the simpsons. Overall, I highly recommend this player.

Summary: Toshiba SDP2000
Review: First things first: This player's playback is unparalleled, with progressive scan and with its easily accessed tweaks for aspect ratio and a host of viewer preferences. Our SD-P2000 replaced a Sharp player which still functions reliably but which lacks the circuitry needed to produce an HD-like image. In Short, the 2000 produces outstanding resolution on its own screen and into our monitor through its S output. No improvement is seen using its component output.
The unit works well as a portable with its battery pack, delivering a full movie w/o needing recharge (see below); but it totally justifies its extistence as a desk top screen along side the Mac! Play a DVD or, connected to a cable box (DirecTV receiver in our case), enjoy the sweetest little guilty pleasure imaginable as you work.
Why only 4 stars? The operation manual fails to mention one important caveat: Once the battery pack is charged, remove it from the player if you intend to power the player at home with its AC adaptor. Toshiba confirmed that leaving the pack attached while using line power will shorten the pack's "memory."
If you're in the market for a portable DVD player, this one is your very best option - delivering flexibility and the very best picture. As owner's manuals go, this one does a better job than most; but PLEASE don't lose the battery's capacity by leaving it attached while you're hooked up to AC. Just call customer service, as we did, to confirm this little quirk.

Summary: Excellent Player
Review: For those complaints on sound quality, I have one thing to say "AIWA Noise Canceling Headphones HP-CN6" will solve your problem. After reading some reviews, I was concerned on the sound quality, but if you have good headphones, the sound is excellent. The overall picture quality is unbelievable. This unit delivers on Picture and sound quality. The battery size is not that big a deal. In fact if you travel as much as I do, buy the APC Travel Power adapter and you can plug this thing right into the seat of the airplane. I don't even need my batter half the time. The adapter plug also can be used in the car for the kids. I love this unit and would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent portable DVD player.

Summary: battery will not hold a charge
Review: Great picute, the rechargeable factory issued battery won't hold a charge. Once the DVD player system is fully charge you must disconnect the battery from the player or the battery drains to zero (even when not in uses)

Summary: Great product worth every penny!
Review: Great product! Excellent piture. Easy to use. Plays every possible format. Some people complain about the sound. Yes, you do have to turn it on max to get a decent sound, but as a personal device it mostly meant to be used with the earphones, for whith you have two jacks

Summary: Great Picture. Poor Sound
Review: I bought this player for long trips in the car. Player has a great picture and plenty of features. The only drawback is you almost have to use headphones unless you are in an extremely quiet room. Ive noticed other portable dvd players have the same problem so I don't think its that big of a deal. I still think it is well worth the money

Summary: Great Picture, Big Battery
Review: I bought this portable after finally breaking my little Panasonic Portable L50 I had since 1999. I had dropped it about 15 times and the screen finally broke. I had come to Amazon to buy the big Panasonic but started reading about the Toshiba and decided to buy it.The picture is FANTASTIC. The sound is fine. I don't know what people were saying it has weak sound. It is the same as my other DVD portable player. The only negative I have is the size of the battery on the base is pretty big. It makes the little unit pretty thick. I would have gone 5 stars except for the battery.

Summary: great overall
Review: i just got this player and have had nothing but good examples of picture quality, sleek design, and sound. due to many people complaining about the sound, toshiba has changed the design and now the sound is clear loud, and unable to be improved. yes, the battery may be big but compaired to other players with small batteries(and short operating time) i would still prefer this one. the control panel makes it easy to operate with only having to do just aboout nothing. the remote can be very helpful when you are too lazy to use the control panel. so to all of you who are considering other players, you should take another look at this one!
