Customer Rating:      Summary: Great little player with GREAT battery longevity! Comment: We received this player at Christmas in 2006 when our son was 13 months old. We were living cross country from family and thus traveled frequently. We have been using this player as the primary DVD player for one of our TV's and we use it every time we travel. We recently moved and lost the car charger in the move, but use this on our trips to visit family (now a 4 hour car ride). The battery STILL lasts the entire 4 hour trip!
This is a great player - money well spent on my parents' part.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Never buying Toshiba again Comment: When I purchased this Toshiba portable DVD player (SD-P1700) a few years ago, there weren't enough reviews about it, but I trusted the name and bought it, and that was a big mistake. I only used it once when I was traveling, and it would always say "Not Valid Disc" or "No Disc" even when the disc has no problem at all, and only after many tries it would play. I tried to use it again for the second time in a long time, it wouldn't play at all. (with AC adaptor connected) So, I tried again after fully charging the battery and still won't play (either with or without the AC adaptor). It makes a very loud and uneven noise when it is trying to load the disc and never recognizes the disc or would play a few seconds and freeze up constantly. I would never trust Toshiba as long as it is made in China, because the problem could be due to poor craftmanship. (I've noticed with any electronics, specially batteries made in China never last.)
Customer Rating:      Summary: SP-D1700 no better than SP-D1600 Comment: So. I get this new fresh from the factory SP-D1700 and it works fine, with very light use, for about 7 or 8 months. Understand, when I say "light use", I mean maybe one DVD a month. Then, just like the SP-D1600 it just one day stops working. I continues to load disk and once and a while it will play one for about 20 seconds, then it quits. I've written a letter to Mark Simons, Vice President for digital products division. That was three weeks ago;so far I've been roundly ignored.
October 7, 2007
So here is my follow up after sending my second letter to Mr Simons on August 29,2007. Still no response. I have since however, read may complaints on various about being given the run around to just being ignored by toshiba(small"t" from now on). These are signs of a company that is in trouble. I will chalk this up to experience and stay clear of anything made by toshiba in the future. THANK YOU MR. SIMONS.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Nice basic all format player Comment: GOOD: Solid buttons, bottom mounted battery, a/v out AND in, plays DIVX or XVID formats (one main reason I chose it).
BAD: does not play DVD+R (just a reminder - description lists the "minus" format)
A problem cropped up after about 8 trips/6 months (adult use-very low stress). Disk spin up was always noisy, with frequent grinding noises. Lately it takes many open/close trials to get it to start to spin a disk when inserted and even freezes during playback on new DVDs.
Judging from other reviews on the web, I seem to be an isolated case.
Customer Rating:      Summary: great player Comment: I'm really happy I got this. Works perfect and has a resonable battery life. At least one movie and part of another one before charging.
