Summary: JUNK - Do not buy
Review: If you have not been able to tell from all the other comments, this will no longer be a portable once the battery dies. It will die and VERY Soon after you buy this DVD player. Mine lasted two uses, it is junk and the product support is misserable.<br /><br />Buy a Sony or something else but stay away from the Toshiba Players.

Summary: Terrific Device
Review: Just got back from my fist plane trip using this little gem and wow, it worked great. Never skips even on rough turbulence on the plane, the unit even bounced once off of the table tray and never missed a beat. I guess the previous reviewer had a defective unit, or did they even own it? Also note that I make my own backups of dvd's and this thing plays all of them, no matter what type of media I burn them to. Battery life is great, picture quality seems great to me, the only problem I have is with the headphones I purchased, they're some funky behind the neck and over the ear device that have poor sound at best. Great device just pick your headphones wisely.

Review: My Toshiba SD-P1200 Portable DVD Player scratched my DVDs so badly that I can no longer watch them. Also, it no longer works unless it is plugged in. It does not work just running on batteries.

Summary: Junk for watching movies
Review: On a recent road trip in a minivan equipped with a drop down screen we used the Toshiba SD-P1200 Portable DVD Player to play the DVD and we watched it on both the DVD portable screen and the drop down screen. We never once watched a regular 2 hour movie beginning to end. During a movie this player would skip and freeze so many times it had to be shut off before it got thrown out the window. It was very frustrating - especially having to be in the car for 12+ hours for 2 days. We did have a GameCube that we hooked up to just the Portable DVD player and it worked great. The GameCube was played for a good 4-6 hours straight without any problems. However the movie watching is where the problem is with the Toshiba SD-P1200 Portable DVD Player. So if you want to buy this portable DVD player without the intention of actually watching a DVD, then be my guest.

Review: Purchased this unit new from Amazon to give as a birthday gift. The birthday was after the 30 day return policy (suggestion: only buy and deliver gifts within Amazon return policy or your stuck with it no matter) The picture quality is horrible, the battery WILL NOT hold a charge at all and the only way your going to hear the audio (especially in car or plane) is with headphone. Apparently this unit is defective - Amazons' answer is to call Toshiba. This is not worth the money - I'v seen better pictures on the very basic units!

Review: Purchased unit at retailer for $500 based on Toshiba's previous quality reputation. Battery would not charge after 3 months of extremely light use & hinge broke, requiring a screw driver to be used to open it. I've bought lots of electronics equipment from a variety of manufacturers & this has to be the worst purchase I have ever made...PLEASE, DO NOT BUY!!!!

Summary: Has it's downfalls
Review: So far I have owned an RCA5400P, a Mintek 1710 and the Toshiba SD-P1200. The Mintek unfortunatly started skipping on me and I would lose the right audio channel after a while but the price tag and the accessories such as the car adapter made it a great unit. I purchased the Toshiba today and it is going right back to the store. First off the screen is horrible compared to the Mintek, it is pixilated and dark, almost as if the contrast were turned all the way up and there is no way to turn it down. Also the dvd door is very flimsy and has to be completely shut all the way for it to operate, slight movements reset the player due to a bad push pin design and you have to start the disk over again. You would think that Toshiba would be making advancements in things like shock resistance and screen quality with a $499.00 price tag and not red rubber but right now I wish I just had my quirky Mintek back. :(
