money down the drain 
2008-01-02
we bought this dvd and worked somewhat well. 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. They could not get it to work either. 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.
not even worth one star.
A portable dvd player just ok 
2007-12-29
I had another Toshiba portable dvd player. It was an amazing one. Perfect image. closed caption...
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...
I'm desapointed but what to expect for 150 $ ?

nice portable 
2007-12-26
I got this for Christmas , read all the reviews in here and they are fairly accurate . 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
DivX yes DVD-R no 
2007-12-18
I was looking for a movie player that would support DVD-R discs and DivX/XviD movies.
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 was using Memorex and a Philips SPD3000CC DVD-recorder (Memorex DVD-R is a certified media with the DVD-recorder). 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.
Some reviewers have complained on the low screen resolution. Text looks awful but images (movies) are properly down-sampled and look very nice. The colors are great. Laptop monitors may have higher resolution but normally don't have as vivid colors.
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. A 12V car cable is included so you don't need the battery when using the player in the car.
pros:
+ DivX/XviD support
+ vivid colors
+ long battery life
cons:
- does not handle DVD-R media (Memorex, Sony) well
excellent product, 2007-12-07
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. 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. overall i am very happy with it and would definately recommend it, especially for the price!
Pleased with the dvd player 2008-04-29
The dvd player is easy to use, seems solid, and presents a clear image.
Sound isn't the greatest, could be a little louder at its maximum volume, but most times, that has not been an issue. We like it.
works well but need improvement

I bought this to use at the gym on a treadmill to make workout less boring. I watch a video and time goes faster. The only problem is the control buttons are the wrong color making them difficult to read for an older person... Unlike my previous one, it does restart where I turned it off which is why I bought this model.... That feature is a must...

Pros:
-Battery life is excellent. 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. No problems accepting any media. All my burnt media plays like charm.
-The look of the player is indeed sleek, very high-end look.
Cons:
-Battery makes it a bit bulkier, but it lasts 5 hours so I won't complain much. The picture here doesn't show it.
-I wish it had a slot for sd cards or a usb port for a flash-drive. Then again, that would make it more expensive.
Conclusions:
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.
Toshiba SD player; good value, works great 2008-02-10
I have had this player for about a month. It has worked flawlessly. It plays both new DVD's and DVD's we have created. I bought it for my 7 year old daughter to take on trips. It is a little bulky, mainly due to the size (we upgraded from a 7" model), but overall we are very pleased. The picture is good for a unit this size. We also have had no issues with the speakers or sound as we primarily use headphones to watch DVD's. I have not been able to test the battery charge time as we usually use the provided automobile power supply adapter.
Excellent DVD Player!!! 2008-01-25
It has a sharp and bright image. 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.
