very satisfied 
2007-03-27
bought the sd-p1700 a couple of weeks ago and have been through the testing part from astheics to function, and i am quite impressed. very good on portability, battery last approx. 3 & 1/2 hrs. charged right back up, love the fact that it is on the bottom of the player and not hanging off the back, drive motor very quiet,with the right connector(not supplied)you can hook right into home theater amplifier,plays all my regular dvd's & cd's. only drawbacks are #1)have to have the volume up all the way to hear good sound, but i have a portable subwoofer which drives two other speakers, good on even cheap headphones,#2)and it won't play +/- RW's(CD or DVD)says it has to be finalized, researching that, but other than that, i am happy. if anyone has a answer to my research please let me know. thanks.
Don't buy this one

I bought the Toshiba SD-P1700 portable DVD player as a birthday gift for my mom. This machine didn't work from the minute we turned it on. It would not read any of our DVDs. I either got the "Invalid Disk" message or if the machine did play the DVD, it would look seriously pixelated for a few seconds then would simply stop playing altogether. The DVDs, by the way, play just fine in my old Sony portable.
user friendly 2007-01-09
At first I was concerned that the screen would be too small, but for portability and travel it is a perfect size. Picture quality is excellent, sound is O.K. but earphones are must, for best listening. Battery plays a full length DVD with power to spare. Very user friendly, well designed with a very substantial feel. Make sure to order earphones and padded carrying case, since they are not included
Buy anything other then this 2007-01-09
Fell apart after 5 uses. Plastic fatigue at the back hinge. Very loud mechanical sounds at times at well. This was a product that felt like it was years old at time of purchase even tho it was brand new
An excellent purchase and great for kids on a trip! 2006-12-26
I just purchased the Toshiba Portable DVD player and my kids just love it. It arrived 1-2weeks before the due date so I was happy about the quick service. This is our first DVD portable player and its really easy to use. Both my kids had no problem figuring out the controls. The size is perfect and the sound and picture are excellent. We even used it with one headphone and it works just fine. We did purchase a carrying case which is also good for your car, either behind or between the seats. Highly recommend this item along with getting a carrying case. All the wires are included if you want to plug it in your house or car. The battery is not bulky; its a good size. And the battery charges in about 3-4 hours and will last about that amount. A great purchase and my kids are looking forward to long trips. Thank you!
SP-D1700 no better than SP-D1600 2007-08-15
So. I get this new fresh from the factory SP-D1700 and it works fine, with very light use, for about 7 or 8 months. Understand, when I say "light use", I mean maybe one DVD a month. Then, just like the SP-D1600 it just one day stops working. I continues to load disk and once and a while it will play one for about 20 seconds, then it quits. I've written a letter to Mark Simons, Vice President for digital products division. That was three weeks ago;so far I've been roundly ignored.
October 7, 2007
So here is my follow up after sending my second letter to Mr Simons on August 29,2007. Still no response. I have since however, read may complaints on various about being given the run around to just being ignored by toshiba(small"t" from now on). These are signs of a company that is in trouble. I will chalk this up to experience and stay clear of anything made by toshiba in the future. THANK YOU MR. SIMONS.
Nice basic all format player 
2007-07-04
GOOD: Solid buttons, bottom mounted battery, a/v out AND in, plays DIVX or XVID formats (one main reason I chose it).
BAD: does not play DVD+R (just a reminder - description lists the "minus" format)
A problem cropped up after about 8 trips/6 months (adult use-very low stress). Disk spin up was always noisy, with frequent grinding noises. Lately it takes many open/close trials to get it to start to spin a disk when inserted and even freezes during playback on new DVDs.
Judging from other reviews on the web, I seem to be an isolated case.
great player 2007-05-13
I'm really happy I got this. Works perfect and has a resonable battery life. At least one movie and part of another one before charging.
Read before you buy this. 2007-04-27
I ordered this unit as a birthday present for my 90 year old mother. Thought I would try it before taking it to her. It worked for 20 minutes. Then the screen went blank and stayed blank no matter what I tried. I've ordered so much from Amazon over the years and always could return if unhappy for any reason, so I hadn't paid attention to the reviews of the current online seller ANTonline. Beware! These people are unresponsive and uninterested. They would not accept a return or even reply to my emails. Read their reviews. I'm not the first one.
The Toshiba SD-P1700 unit does have a very nice form factor for a small 7" screen DVD player. Screen was bright with a good image. If it had worked it would have been very nice I think. If Amazon starts selling it and you like the specs you might try it. But, I don't recommend you try the seller I had.
I had to rush out to a bricks and mortar and buy a Phillips PET 724 7" DVD player for Mom. Now I'm stuck with trying to get get Toshiba to repair their junk. As someone in previous review was told, "Buy anything but a Toshiba" may be the best advise.

Haven't had a chance to use extensively, but my checkout was impressive. Picture was excellent and sound very good. Flying to Europe this summer. Will get a good checkout then.
