small viewing area [Posted on 2008-05-31] The DVD movies only play on a small portion of the screen. The full screen movies are only about 7 inches, and the widescreen are only about half of the screen. dissappointing.
P2900 DVD Player Sudden Death [Posted on 2008-06-20] I liked the unit fine for the couple of months it worked, then it just stopped "spinning up" DVDs on start-up. Not worth my time. Just more disposable electronics . . . .
I was really let down... [Posted on 2008-07-02] I was going on a long road trip and was really excited about buying this product. I read several of the reviews before I decided on this DVD player. The speakers are fine if you are inside watching a movie. However, if you are riding in the car it's really hard to hear the movie even if you turn the volume up all the way. Actually, I am going to send this DVD player back because the volume knob on the side of the player has a short in it. When you try to turn the volume all the way up it goes completely off. What a dud...
Really a big let down. [Posted on 2008-08-31] This player comes with a remote, which is nice, but the remote doesn't do 2 very important tasks. You can't turn the machine on or off from the remote, nor can you adjust the volume from the remote. Why, Toshiba, why? Also, this player performs very poorly after extended play times. i.e. once it gets hot it doesn't like to play smoothly. DVDs, even brand new out of the case, play really choppy and are stop and go. Lastly; the player makes terrible, almost grinding, noises when playing DVDs. These noises are sometimes so loud that you can't even hear the movie. If it were a VHS player, I would expect the tapes to come out in pieces! Not a good buy for the price I paid.
Love This Player [Posted on 2008-09-30] This was my first portable DVD player and I love it after about 6 months of use. With the large screen, excellent picture and battery life, I don't think you can find a better portable unit. I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life. I make frequent trips to China and I can't watch movies all the way there (13+ hours, but it gets me close :) The only potential negative is that it can be a little finicky when playing some DVDs, but that hasn't presented itself as a major problem. I guess it could be perceived as being a bit bulky, but I have a separate case for it, and the large screen and long battery life make it worth it.
