Toshiba SDP93S 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Silver Reviews
Just got this about a week ago as I thought it was time to replace my 5 year old Toshiba Portable DVD Player. This units picture quality is at least as good as any of its competitors currently on the market. The problem I have with it is that picture quality is NOWHERE as great as my 5 year old unit(which back then costed over three times as much). The screens back then had a noticeably smaller dot pitch which resulted in the picture having more detail. One of the cutbacks made to get price down from the 600-700 buck range of 5 years ago has been to cheapen up the screen. All of the competitors have done the same thing. All in all though for the price being asked by Amazon you will not be able to do better.
This is a new product for Toshiba. I got confused and did not know the logo on top of the player is backwards. You have to turn the player around and then lift the lid to use it, no latch, so simple but can drive you crazy if ignorant. It took 2 different technicians at Toshiba to learn this, and the first tech didn’t have a clue. There is no comment about how to open the player in the book. Once you get the lid to open you can use it. It does all you can expect this price player. The sound is not the best but the picture is OK. There is a lot to learn to get all you pay for with this player. I think it is easily a 4 star product.
“I just got it and I’m still finding out about all this thing does. The SD card slot (SDHC would be better)for viewing JPEG photos or MPEG videos – way cool. The external speakers are not impressive, but for awsome audio, get a good pair of headphones – WOW! The remote control works great with lots of slo-mo, fast forward, repeat, and zoom options. And it even comes with an AC adaptor,a 12VDC car adaptor, AND video cables. All you need to buy for this little jewel is a case to carry it around in. I think the 9″ screen is just right – not too small so that you can’t enjoy the video, and not too big so that it feels like you’re carrying around a full size laptop. This player has more features for the price than most other players I looked at. We’ll see how it performes down the road, but so far I’m very HAPPY!”





We had to send the first one back because it didn’t work. Amazon was really good about getting us another one right away, and sending back the non-functioning one was no problem. My only complaint is about the controls. I keep my player next to my bed and watch it most often in the dark and it’s a reall challenge finding the right button to push.
