    Missing Attachment The multi features SD-P1700 portable DVD Player from Toshiba lets you enjoy a wide range of different song files wherever you go. The 7? bright screen produces a vibrant, colorful picture and it does an extremely great job with its widescreen DVDs. You can zoom in the picture and avoid the black bars that appear at the top and bottom in some screens or with the disk. The special processing perfectly maintains the colour accuracy along with the picture... Read more

    This player has been receiving heavy use at the house and has made everyone using it glad it was purchased. Great picture, sound, and compatibility. Plays DVD-RW's and DVD-R's without any problems. Have yet to take it on the road so I don't know how it will perform in the car. Read more

    I purchased this product for my daughter a couple of years ago. The DVD player worked absolutely great out of the box. She watched several DVDs on it for many months. Then, as it often happens with small children, the item got put away and remained unused for a long period of time. She recently rediscovered it a couple of days ago and wanted to watch a few movies on it. Unfortunately, nothing played. Disks that used to play on the machine no longer played. We either saw...

  4. It's great when it works

    Reviewer: DealTime UK

    I bought it at Best Buy in 2006 and it worked great as a novelty and on our first road trip in summer 2007. It had a great picture and with ear buds, great sound. Without ear buds, the speakers could not be heard in the car. It became a great travel companion for passengers but has been only used sporatically. The result, it became very tempermental and in summer 2008 became selective on which discs it would play. I've now been trying to get it operational for the... Read more
