<b>Tech Talk</b>
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media.

<b>What's in the Box</b>
Portable DVD player, remote control (with battery), car power adapter, AC adapter, AV cable, rechargable battery, printed operating instructions

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.

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.

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.......2007-03-19

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.
