Summary: Quality Control Issues with this Product
Comment: I ordered this DVD player on-line. Straight out of the box it has a dead pixel on the screen. I foolishly ignored the many reviewers who received this player brand new with a fault. Look through all the reviews at Amazon, there are a few (which is too many) complaining about technical problems straight out of the box. You might be lucky and get one without a fault but I think it cost too much money to take that risk.
Also one of the reviewers mentions that a digital camera can be connected up to this unit. I was disappointed to find that this is not so. At least I cannot see how it can be done. None of the accompanying cables or cables with my digital cameras facilitate connection. There is a 'video-in' port but the manual explains this is for connecting a video cassette machine. There are some portable dvd players with USB ports so get one of those if you want to be able to connect your digital camera directly.
Apart from the dead pixel it seems a very good product. I don't agree with the ravings about how good the screen is from all angles. There is a limit to how good any lcd screen can be. Like all lcd screens this one can feel quite dark at times.
Sound is very good.
Bottom line is you need to know when you purchase a product that you have more than a good chance of getting one that works properly straight out of the box when it arrives. You simply don't have that guarantee with this product... however good it is when it works properly.
A dead pixel probably will not be noticed if you are buying this for your kids, but if you are an adult then that tiny 'snowflake' on your screen can be quite distracting at times.
I did not heed the warnings of others. Now my own warning joins the others. I hope yours wont be joining us!
I normally give 5 star reviews. Not this time, because of quality control issues at Toshiba.

Summary: GREAT FOR KIDS!!!!!! A MUST HAVE FOR LONG TRIPS
Comment: We bought this DVD player before moving overseas with the military. We have a very rough [...] boy who has kicked, thrown, tossed, dragged, dropped, and done almost everything you can imagine to the player. It still works GREAT!!!! We have taken it on several trips between the US and Europe and traveled all around Europe with it. Its been a life saver. The volume is a little low at times, but nothing to be concerned over. The outside of the player is very scratched up now, but it still works perfectly. The picture quality is excellent, the controls are easy to figure out, and we have been very satisfied. We are now puchasing a second one for our [...] son. The DVD player does get warm in insulated cases, but we put it in the handle on the back of our Honda Odyssey driver seat, and it's the perfect size! It comes with a car adapter, and the wall charger is dual voltage. We can get almost 4 hours of play time from 1 battery, but have puchased several extra for plane trips. The extra batteries are around $50.
We have purchased other brands of DVD players before, but the Toshiba is the best deal by far, and we couldnt be happier with it.

Summary: Unit may overheat in carrying case
Comment: I hate to say it, but this is one rare item (for me) I purchased that stopped working shortly after purchase. My daughter had just started watching a movie on the plane and the screen went blank and the unit shut down. When I pulled the unit out of the carrying case, it was so hot it burned my finger and it smelled as if something had fried inside. It's never worked since. My conclusion is that it was the case (new for this trip) that caused the overheating.
We also had a problem with the headphone jacks which would only play normally when plugged in half-way. If we plugged in all the way, sound shifted to playing through primarily one side only.
