Amazon.com Product Description
Take your favorite entertainment on the road with you and keep your kids entertained during long car trips with the slim-profile Toshiba SD-P2800 portable DVD player with 9-inch LCD screen with 180-degree flip and swivel functionality. Its active matrix TFT LCD has a 480 x 234-pixel resolution with a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio for watching movies in the format they were made to be watched, built-in stereo speakers, and a single headphone jack. You can view movies on an external TV set via the component video output, which provides optimal connection for watching progressive scan DVDs. It also offers AV and S-Video output connections for TV sets that don't have a component input. And it provides Dolby Digital surround sound decoding via the digital coaxial audio output connection.

It includes dual headphone jacks so you can share your movie experience with a partner, a rechargable battery with up to 4 hours of battery life, and a cigarette lighter adapter for powering the player while in the car. In addition to DVD movie and CD audio discs, it's also compatible with DVD-R, CD-R/RW and VCD discs. You can play discs burned with MP3 and WMA digital audio files, and it's also DivX Home Theater Certified--meaning that it's compatible with video burned to disc using both the DivX video format. You can also view photo slideshows from Kodak Picture CDs with JPEG images. The integrated multi-format memory card slot is compatible with Secure Digital (SD), MultiMedia (MMC), Memory Stic, and XD Picture Card formats, enabling you to view JPEG images and unencrypted MP3/WMA audio.

With the Digital Picture Zoom interactive feature, you can select an area of the picture you want to zoom in on and magnify it. It can also be used to expand letterbox-only films to increase the viewable area on-screen. Other convenience features include slow motion (1/8, 1/4, 1/2), parental locks, and 3D virtual surround sound. It includes both input and output composite AV jacks.

Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media.

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

5 out of 5 stars Best Picture Quality So Far   February 15, 2008
My wife is very happy with this DVD Player. The picture is the best that we have had so far. We have owned three different players over the years. We would make the same purchase again.

Six Months Later: Product still works as well as on day one! It averages 2 hours of use daily. We definately would purchase this product again!



5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Resolution   October 9, 2007
I got this Toshisha Portable DVD Player as a birthday gift last month. I took it with me on my vacation to the Caribbean, and I have to say that this is the best portable dvd player available in the market. Excellent picture resolution is almost like washing a movie on HDTV. Best investment and awesome gift. Toshiba did it again in delivering top performance electronics.


2 out of 5 stars While it was working it was excellent   August 8, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had this DVD player for a few months. We really got our use out of it. It has great features, options, picture, sound (in comparrison with other units), etc. I had no complaints about it. However, I started noticing after about a month that the unit would turn itself on while it was plugged in charging the battery, even with the unit closed. The only way to get it to stop was to unplug it completely and take the battery off. Which was fine if you were done charging it.... Then, after about 1 month of that happening it would be playing a movie and the power would just turn off. I would turn it back on, try to find the place in the movie we were watching and continue and it would be fine. Then after appx. another month it just started to turn itself off and it wouldn't turn back on, not with the power cord, the battery, the remote, nothing would work. Then the next day you would try it and it would power up just fine. All I can say is THANK GOD I BOUGHT THE WARRANTY! They told me that they don't carry this model anymore and they are replacing it with anything else of my choice.... now I have to figure out something else to get! It took days of researching this one!


3 out of 5 stars Good LCD display, otherwise it sucks   June 5, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have no complaints about the quality of the LCD screen, probably the best available on a portable player. Believe it or not, I prefer watching DVDs on this device than on my CRT TV set.

The problem here is that everything else about this DVD player is really bad.

It's really thick and heavy. Barely portable. The smallest Sony Vaio notebook weighs the same as this DVD monstrosity and is a lot thinner. Although the LCD on this is actually better for watching DVDs.

When you turn the DVD player off, it loses it's place in the DVD and then you have to waste a lot of time figuring out how to get back to where you left off. This is pretty pathetic. Surely it doesn't take much battery power, if any, to have one little memory chip keep track of where you were on the DVD while the power is turned off.

Another lousy feature, shared with all other portable DVD players I've seen, is that the fast foward button does double duty as the move to next scene button. Thus if you want to fast forward, but forget to hold down long enough, ZAP, you've lost your place. It comes with a remote control which has the proper buttons, but it seems pretty dumb to have a remote control for a device you're suppose to use on your lap or on a table directly in front of you. All the controls you need should be directly on the player, not on a remote control you can easily lose.

Finally, when do you get the fast forward mode, if you fast forward, or rewind, at any faster than 2X speed, what you see on the screen does not match where the thing is actually going to go to when you push the play button again.

It's too bad that there is no quality in the portable DVD player market. Toshiba has a new unit out, the P2900, but it looks identical to this model so it probably has all of the same flaws.
