Quality of video excellent, screen is great
Just received this unit a few days ago after toying between this model and the 2500 and 2600. Screen is excellent and the design is more flexible than the other two. The unit is light but the battery pack attaches to the bottom back part of the player and adds considerable heft. This said, it has a Lith-Ion battery so it will last quite a bit longer than a NiCad, and have a longer life. Complaints about lack of volume out of the speakers hold true for this model, its loud enough, but only just ...

Beware
I received a new Toshiba SD-P2600 for Fathers Day Last year from my kids. After fourteen months of ownership and less than twenty five hours of use, the player would not turn on. This unit was manufactured in March, 2004. Since this unit is factory service only I mailed it to Toshiba. Several weeks later I was informed that the main board was burned out and the cost or repair was $466.00. That is in addition to the $70.00 to look for the problem. If I had it repaired the total cost invested in t...

NICE LITTLE MACHINE, 2 PROBLEMS
Nice little player, carries well, battery charges OK, but pity locked into region 1, no hacking codes yet, but plays region free discs OK. Speakers very ordinary, headphones are essential for listening. Never freezes,picture great provided you sit square on to the screen, peripheral image not good.

Nice player BUT
This is an excellent player, with many nice features. The screen is sharp but, and this is a very big but, the viewing angles are so narrow as to render this almost unusable and is really unacceptable in today's world of LCD screens. It's a shame because the unit is well-designed and well-made. The inclusion of Component and S-Video outputs allows you to use it as player with larger screens which is a major plus but not enough to negate the narrow viewing angles. If the only way you plan on usin...

Freezes often-do not buy
My wife and I bought this player for our kids (for long car trips) for Christmas 2004. We are both working professionals (teacher and policeman). This player started to freeze during playback from the very first dvd played. It got progressively worse over a period of 3 months. We only played excellent quality and brand new dvds in this player. It now freezes during almost every playback. A complete reboot (turning it off and then on) is required to get it going again. This "freezing" occu...

Plays MPG files nicely
The main reason I purchased this player was to have a portable dvd player that has the "divx" playback feature (not mentioned in the US literature), but you can read about it at DIVX.com. It won't play .avi files, you have to rename them to .mpg to play them. So far I've been able to play mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg4, xivd, divx encoded files. The player features are better than average. The remote is nice. The whole unit feels a little on the cheap side. I've had no real issues yet. I like this one bett...
