Toshiba SD-P1500 review: Toshiba SD-P1500

Toshiba SD-P1500

Excellent picture quality; 16:9 playback capabilities; very smooth picture in zoom modes; full suite of video outputs; digital audio out; two headphone jacks; active-matrix screen.

Weak battery life; slightly bulky for a portable; some awkward remote functions.

With fantastic DVD playback in a small package, the SD-P1500 can easily double for a full-sized player in your home theater.

Good portable option but needs sound enhancement

I have seen the constant complaints about this unit because of it's sound output. Having found a reasonable cost correction for it (a boostaroo for about $20), I asked for this unit for Christmas due to the price drop at Costco to $499. This was...

Value (price for performance) ; screen size

Stand alone sound (correctable)

Why Purchase this DVD? ALL-AROUND GR8

Before purchasing this portable DVD player, i did research. On Cnet, the Toshiba SD-P1500 was rated number 2 on the Editor's Top 5. My best friend had also purchased this, and he reccomended it to me as well. After reviewing all the players, i made my...

Buyer Beware

I purchased the Toshiba SDP 1500 Portable DVD player in 12/01. After the 1st movie, I noticed blue pixels in the LCD screen. The retailer replaced the unit without a hassle. I hooked up the new unit to my t.v. and the picture was excellent. I did...

Lightweight, excellent picture on full size t.v.

No Toshiba 12 volt vehicle hookup to the dvd player. Very expensive replacement battery.

I reviewed just about all the portable DVD players on the U.S. market as well as trying out several that are available in Asia (while on a business trip) but not in the United States. After reading all the reviews, as well as comparing price versus...
