How it sucks

click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first
basically we spent 169.00 on a dvd player that worked for 3 months. the company nor any one else will help us unless we dish out 49$ for shipping and another 50$ for repairs. I could spend a little bit more money and get a brand new one with a more helpfull company that product may last longer than my hair color.

3 months later after warranty expired, It quit working. says that it can not read disc. took it back to the store where we purchased it and they ran diagnostics on it.

I originally bought the smaller SD-P1850 which worked fine for a month until the motor stopped working. Replaced it at the store with the SD-P1900 (the 1850 was now unavailable). Unfortunately the SD-P1900 does not handle DVD-R discs very well, frequent hangings and skippings, very bad for the movie watching experience.

I only have a couple very minor complaints, the glossy outside does show fingerprints easy, sound quality from the built in speakers could be better (it's pretty "tinny" sounding, kind of like a small handheld radio) but i use headphones anyway so thats not important to me, and although it has a screensaver, it only works if the disc is stopped, it would be nice to have when you are listening to a music cd and there's just the static track listing.

The screen is a bit grainy for reading text ,but really its fine easy to watch a movie on , yes the drive is a bit noisy when it loads the dvd , quiets down after its running. The Battery last a long time. I do wish it would handle more formats

I called Toshiba support who recommended using some other brand of DVD-R media but they could not tell me which one:-) I bought a stack of Sony DVD-R discs (also certified for use with my DVD-recorder), these work better but still not perfect. Normal DVD's work fine though.

The image of the sdp 1900 is barely ok. And there's not a lot of fonctions. Plus, the player refuse to play some disc...

The sound volume is a bit low and a tad thin but works well enough when there is not too much noise. At least my daughter does not complain. The unit might be heavy and clunky with the battery mounted below the player but I think battery life is good.

I was looking for a movie player that would support DVD-R discs and DivX/XviD movies.

They could not get it to work either.

It does last up to 5 hours, and the lowest brightness setting (suggested in order to achieve the 5 hours of continuous battery playback) is NOT unsatisfactory, I usually set it between 0 and 8 (out of 16) and the image is still plenty bright (16 is way too bright for my taste). -It plays Divx files without any hassle. AVIs, MPGs, it's all good.

Text looks awful but images (movies) are properly down-sampled and look very nice.

I'm desapointed but what to expect for 150 $ ? Buy something else

How it doesn't

This has been an excellent high quality product. A ton of features, good screen size, clear picture, easy to use, and seems well made and durable.

My two years old son learned to play his favorite movie in a few tries, now he uses it every afternoon. By the way, I'm free to do my homework while he's watching a movie.

No problems accepting any media. All my burnt media plays like charm. -The look of the player is indeed sleek, very high-end look.

-Battery life is excellent.

This player delivers what it promises and I'm extremely satisfied with it. The price I paid (just over 100) was way more than worth it.
