When I first bought this DVD player about a year ago, it worked just fine, (although the spinning of the disc has always been a little loud for my taste) but more and more and more it gives me trouble. The problems started about six months ago with having problems reading the discs. Lately, it has trouble reading the disc almost every time. Usually I have to try several times to get the disc to read, after it does, it randomly freezes.

Other than sliding the player a little closer to me on my desk, this player has never been moved.

I would recommend against spending the money on this product. (I want to mention that this is the first negative review I have ever written.)

I purchased this as a gift so I cannot do an in depth review but I did test out some of the features. This unit is completely black, the finish is flat black which is vey cool giving it a stealth fighter look. The quality is pretty good too and the design is very stylish...thumbs up to Toshiba. You do get a lot of value at this price. The package comes with many accessories...remote, car adapter, A/V output cable, 3 hr battery.

One of the cool things about the battery is that it attaches to the back side of the player and not under it so it doesn't add to the thickness of the player which is good. The battery is pretty small too so it doesn't stick out the back too far. The buttons on the unit look very nice and expensive and the layout is simple. The grille that covers the two built-in speakers are designed nicely too, they blend in and don't stick out like a sore thumb. Overall the deisgn is very modern industrial purposeful. None of that cheezy stuff.

the portable dvd player is small and light, my kids can use it easily, the only complaint is the sound quality when on an airplane, even with the volume at full blast it is hard to hear, in the house you can hear it just fine...the battery is long enough to watch a couple of movies..
