A Real Stunner - with one tiny glitch...
By griffinmill
First things first: This player's playback is unparalleled, with progressive scan and with its easily accessed tweaks for aspect ratio and a host of viewer preferences. Our SD-P2000 replaced a Sharp player which still functions reliably but which lacks the circuitry needed to produce an HD-like image. In Short, the 2000 produces outstanding resolution on its own screen and into our monitor through its S output. No improvement is seen using its component output.The unit works well as a portable with its battery pack, delivering a full movie w/o needing recharge (see below); but it totally justifies its extistence as a desk top screen along side the Mac! Play a DVD or, connected to a cable box (DirecTV receiver in our case), enjoy the sweetest little guilty pleasure imaginable as you work.Why only 4 stars? The operation manual fails to mention one important caveat: Once the battery pack is charged, remove it from the player if you intend to power the player at home with its AC adaptor. Toshiba confirmed that leaving the pack attached while using line power will shorten the pack's "memory."If you're in the market for a portable DVD player, this one is your very best option - delivering flexibility and the very best picture. As owner's manuals go, this one does a better job than most; but PLEASE don't lose the battery's capacity by leaving it attached while you're hooked up to AC. Just call customer service, as we did, to confirm this little quirk.

Nice player
By J. Toth
Just got the player before a flight. I have to say this player doesn't dissapoint. It has a fantastic picture but only so so sound from the speakers (expected for its speaker size). Headphones on the otherhand sound great. It's loud enough even when sitting next to the planes engine. It has a lot of great features including progressive scan component video output if you have a TV that can handle it. Battery size is larger than I would like (my only beef) but has good run down time. Some have complained about battery discharge when the unit is off and TV connections not working. I say READ THE MANUAL! The manual clearly states that you should disconnect the battery when not in use. This is because the unit still requires a small amount of power when it is off. This is so you can use the remote to turn the unit on. As for the video connections, you have to use the monitor button to get video out. This player is definitely worth the price.

By Dave Simpson
O.K.... So it finally arrived over the weekend after a colleague brought it back from the U.S., I opened the box withgreat anticipation and was pleasantly surprised. I already ownthe SD-P1000 but accidently dropped it and now it's inopearble.Anyway... I powered it up and couldn't believe my eyes...The screen is HUGE. The features on it are amazing... 8.9"progressive scan screen, 3.5 hour battery, (option MEDB02LX isa 5+ hour battery, twin headphone sockets (although no headphones are supplied, power-on is on the front panel as well as pause, stop, setup (or NAV as it's called), AV source button for connecting a camcorder for instance, etc. etc. The first thing I noticed is that it doesn't get hot like the SD-P1000. The batteryis a flat plinth that sits underneath the player itself. There is the ability to create your own screen saver by pausing a shot and saving into memory as a screen saver (very useful) the set-up screen is completely different to the SD-P1000 due to the NAV set-up. A credit card sized remote makes it great to use and move around. The picure is excellent and their are 4 facilities for creating your own picture set-up, including contrast, brightness,tint, colour, sharpness etc. The sound is fantastic as you have 3 sound modes, normal, 3DN-2-2, and dialogue which sounds very loud. You'll all be impressed by the size and build quality ofthis player, a real gem !!!. By the way... You can but this on the web at around..., a absolute bargain.
