Toshiba SD-P1400 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I decided I wanted to buy a portable DVD player, I did months of research to find the best player at an affordable price.This Toshiba model ranked high overall, especially compared to other models selling for a higher price.I haven't had any problems so far, it plays both DVD+R and DVD-R discs, no problems with video or audio.I've also played a PAL DVD from Europe on it with no problem.(For those who don't know, in the US/Canada, TV shows and movies are all in NTSC format, while most of the rest of the world uses PAL format.Unless you have a converter, you can't show a PAL format video on your tv.But not a problem with this portable player! Also, I believe this is a regionless player.Also a bonus if you have any foreign dvds to watch!)

I use my player daily at work to listen to DVDs, CDs and MP3 CDs and even after well over a year, I have yet to have a problem.I've found it to be a durable machine, despite all the bumps and knocks it has taken.I've read other reviews that said the volume levels weren't loud enough.Through the speakers that may be true, but with a $10 pair of headphones from Walmart the volume was more than adequate, even on a plane.The dual headphone jacks are handy when you have 2 people who want to watch, the screen is bright and clear, and it's lightweight enough to put in a backpack or carry on.The battery life is great, charges up in a couple of hours and it lasts for 5 - 6 hours.It was a real lifesaver during the last 4 hurricanes here in Florida.If you're in the market for an affordable, dependable machine, this is the one to buy.
