Toshiba SD1700 DVD-Video Player

Strengths: It was Fine all around for 120 days..then..

Weakness: Sound Quit after 120 days. It was a referbished with a 90 day warrenty.

I have 4 Toshiba TV's 2 VCR's, So when it was time for a DVD I bought Toshiba. Bought a referbished from UBid. Yes I know its taking a bit of a chance and this time I lost.
What good is a 120 day old DVD player with no sound? It goes in the trash. Why pay $50 to have it looked at. Just buy another. I'll probably buy another and take my chances again/.

Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?

Toshiba SD1700 DVD-Video Player

Strengths: Lots of capabilities; relatively easy to use; nice looks

Weakness: Player locked up often when new; now working OK

We really loved this player when we first got it. The picture quality is outstanding and the remote, though having lots of functions, is quick to learn and use.

Then we started having movies lock up about 45 minutes in. I thought it was just a bad disk, but it started doing it on just about anything we played. Very frustrating. Once locked you couldn't continue past that point, no matter what.

Now, the player is about seven months old and it seems to have "gotten over it". I haven't had a lockup in the last dozen or so movies, so our fingers remain crossed.

I would not buy another one, just because I lack confidence in the Toshiba. But if you get one that works, it's a good value.

Good Luck.
