Do not Buy
I was excited to get a brand name DVD player at such a reasonable price (275). I have several other Toshiba products in my household and they work flawlesly. Not the case for this DVD player. It worked fairly well for the first year with MINIMAL useage, but in the second year it started to fail / wo..

Spinning motor, no picture
After two (2) months of no problems, the Toshiba sd-p1400 started to give me trouble. At first, restarting the DVD player took care of the problem. Finally the screen went blank, but the player motor would run as if the player was searching for a disc/DVD. Like the other reviewers, the repair was m..

Possible fix for black screen problem
I have had this unit for 11 months and had the same problem that several other reviewers had - a blank screen but the DVD plays. I took it to the repair shop and found out that the 1 year warranty is only for parts and that it was going to cost $125 to fix. I emailed Toshiba and they asked me to c..

Horrible DVD player
We purchased this DVD player to be used for long car trips to keep our kids entertained. Unfortunately, the DVD player only worked twice. It quit "reading" discs. The DVD spins constantly but never reads. My children never touched the unit and it was never dropped or anything that could cause da..

Good DVD Player
I was reading the reviews and D. Casad is frustrated about the black screen and sound issue with this DVD player. I had the same problem and called Toshiba. If the battery is low and you are watching the DVD with the AC/DC cord, the LCD pulls from the battery, that's why you have no picture, but s..

Very frustrated with Toshiba DVD players
Toshiba sent me a portable DVD player model SD-P1400 to replace another Toshiba DVD player that failed within the 1 year warranty period. I have hardly used the new one and now it's screen has gone black. It plays sound but has no picture.
I am terribly frustrated with Toshiba's DVD players...

NOT recommended...made of eggshells
I bought the Toshiba SD-P1400 as it seemed like a descent price and descent sized screen. Took it home, charged the battery up...and it didn't work. Screen was shot so I took it back and had it replaced for and additional $50 as Future Shop Canada did not honour the discounted boxing day price. When..

Huh!? Wha!!??
I purchase this and returned it within an hour. The CC I went to didn't have this to "try out" on display so I gambled. Within moments I knew this wasn't the player for me. Even in the house with no other NOISE I couldn't hear the darned thing with the volume ALL THE WAY UP!!! And I'm only in my 30'..

Nice player.. For the first 100 hours..
If you plan on using this player for only a short period of time then maybe this is the player for you. If you plan on using it for more then 80-100 hours then I recommend something else. I have had two of these players and neither one lasted more then 3 months. I am currently fighting Toshiba t..

Good player at a reasonable price
I got the SD-P1400 after exchanging a defective Mintek player (see my other reviews) that I received for Christmas. Overall I am much more pleased with the Toshiba - I have been using it several nights a week for a couple of months now, and it has performed flawlessly every time. As other here hav..

I received this Toshiba Portable DVD Player as a Christmas gift from my wife. In a word: Wow! This player rocks and it's stacked with features. I like the remote control. Very cool! The best thing about this Toshiba DVD player is the screen image quality. Crisp and clear. It's also small and..

Poor quality and design. Look for another brand.
I purchased this unit mid July with the thought that I would pay a little more for a well known, reliable name brand portable DVD player. Well this has not been the case. First of all, the design is bad. The lid covering the DVD is made very cheaply. The volume is not loud enough with a single h..

Great Player But Could've Been Better
Pros: The 7 inch screen looks clear, bright and good contrast.
It's small and compact.
Great battery life (sufficient for a 3 hour plane ride).
Good price for a screen this size.
Reliable brandname.
Cons: No inputs (Amazon states incorrectly that it does) so you can't hook up a Playsta..

Great DVD player. But NO AV Inputs!
First I'd like to agree with the other reviews and say that this is a great player for the price, it has a wonderful screen, and battery life seems good as well.
Now the bad part... Amazon incorrectly states that it has AV and S-Video INPUTS. it does NOT. You cannot plug in another AV device such a..

Great Portable for the price
First off some of these reviews are way to harsh on this Portable DVD player.
1) Looks like two or three people complained about the lack of DVD's playing and skipping, yet not one mentioned taking the DVD out of the unit, cleaning it and putting it back in. I have noticed on and DVD movie, or DVD ..

The Most Rad Award
It's good to see 1980s style industrial design has come back. The geometic parts actually fit together like they're supposed to. It can be put in a bookcase like a REAL book without crazy round parts sticking out like sore thumbs. It is a true labour of love.
As for the player's picture: benissimo!..

Brand name that did not live up
I bought this prtable DVD player and had to exchange it shortly afterwards because I thought I got a defective player. This turned out not to be the case. The second player also had the same problems.
*****This player frequently will not play DVDs. Usually I have to start the player 5+ times be..
