You Get What You Pay For

Pros Great video with colorstream connections.
Cons Audio CD's scratch and skip.
Recommended it? No

I bought this machine because it offered great features for the money. The video is great. But the audio CD sound scratches and skips. My wife is afraid this thing is going to destroy her CD'! It's a random thing that occurs even on brand new CD's. Plus, the display won't tell you what track you're... Read full review »

I got a lemon.

Pros Easy to use.
Cons It broke 93 days after purchase.
Recommended it? No

Perhaps it was just a fluke, but 3 days after warranty expiration my player stopped working. The picture paused, the lens started hitting the DVD, and the machine ruined my disc.

Up till then I hadn't had any problems. The machine ran fine and was fairly easy to use. The picture quality... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I owned a Samsung M301, but the zoom produced a scratchy looking image. I returned it and got a Sony NS300. The picture was crisp and clear, however, I like the zoom feature which Sony did not have. Curious. What to do? Buy a Toshiba sd1700 with the zoom feature. After reviewing many other sites on... Read full review »

Pros Price, Size, Ease of use
Cons Customer Service
Recommended it? No

I received the Toshiba SD 1700 DVD player as a birthday gift. I was able to enjoy watching my favorite DVD's but noticed the unit was not performing correctly. As many of us know, electronics can be buggy at times and parts are subject to failure. I arranged for the device to be serviced at a local... Read full review »

One Disk played said it all for me

Pros Toshiba quality at a great price
Cons Limited features
Recommended it? Yes

Granted there are many DVD players out there, with many different features, I am not one of these people who bought a DVD player to play CD-R's RW or what ever, if I want to do that I use my computer.
I originally bought a very basic GE DVD player simply to watch DVD movies on my TV, but the... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

I had good experience with Toshiba products in the past. However, after playing only two DVDs my SD1700 quit working.
I put it in the shop over three months ago and it is still not fixed. The repair shop said the problem is the power supply and also said that Toshiba has had trouble procuring... Read full review »

I researched like crazy and chose this one

Pros Extremely easy interface Well ranked by Consumer Reports
Cons Doesn't play some formats (mp3, etc.) Not very sexy looking
Recommended it? Yes

I did serious homework before selecting my first DVD player, and bought this one because it was ranked highly by Consumer Reports (and had a lot of good opinions online). I've only had it for a day, but I think I made the right choice and will be returning the Phillips one I bought from Blockbuster... Read full review »

Rockin' DVD player

bymayjo73 Nov 4, 2001
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great Price. Great zoom feature. Visual Quality.
Cons Only has coaxial output (which works just as well as optical).
Recommended it? Yes

I really love this player. I bought 2. It is very cheap now ($149 at Best Buy). Plus you get 10 free DVD rentals at Hollywood video. I personally love the zoom feature, because I don't have a 16x9 TV yet. Normally I hate how tiny those 2.35:1 movies look on my screen, so I Zoom it a little with... Read full review »

Toshiba SD1700: Bringing the Movie Theater Experience Home!

Pros Wide array of features, virtual surround sound
Cons No CD-R or CD-RW playback, no MP3 playback, single disk capacity
Recommended it? Yes

A few months ago I was trying to determine whether or not to purchase a DVD player; even though they have been out a few years, I wondered if enough movies were out on DVD and if DVD players were reasonably priced. Much to my satisfaction, there were a significant number of movies out at the time... Read full review »

Excellent Starter DVD Player

Pros Excellent audio & picture quality, simplistic set-up, bargain price
Cons no universal remote, if that matters to you.
Recommended it? Yes

For those upgrading from VCR to DVD without buying a new television, this model Toshiba SD1700 was our choice after extensive research. First thing we had to consider is what our current television is capable of handling output/feature wise.

We have a 32" Toshiba television bought in 1999... Read full review »
