Piece of junk.......2007-05-28
Like some of the other reviewers, worked great until a few months later and now the DVD's just spin with the loading icon displayed. A total and complete waste of money.
Ripped off.......2007-01-02
I purchased two of these DVD players and both of them have stopped working. My daughters used them each about 6 times on long road trips so they are like new. However, the last time we tried to use them, the DVDs would not load. You can actually hear the motor grinding and grinding. What a rip off! Audiovox will fix them for $93.00 each. I already spent close to $400 for two pieces of junk! Anyone ever try to report businesses like this to The Better Business Bureau or anything?
Still Loading.......2006-09-28
My daughter received this DVD player Christmas 2005. It seemed to work just fine for a few months. Then, one day it just seemed to be in an eternal "Loading" position. I bought a name brand DVD lens cleaner to see if that would rectify the problem. It did not. Thus, it is "loading".
this is a very good Portable DVD Player.......2006-01-09
I had this unit as a gift from my brother. Its been over a year now and had no problem with it what so ever. I use it almost everyday specially when i'm in bed and it is working just fine even with my back-up movies and my mp3 CDs. the battary can almost playes two movies or a one three hours movie when its fully charged. I even dropped it coupl times thnking there is no way its gonna work again but it suprised me. the down side of it is the sound quality comming from the built-in speakers which is a common thing in all Portable DVD players and for some reason the bottom of the player heats up and gets warm. I dont know if the same thing happens in all Portable DVD players or not. otherwise this is a good unit to invest your money in.
Wouldn't recommend it........2006-01-04
Purchased back in May 2005. Worked great for a few trips, even went overseas with it, then put it away for a few months. Going on another trip, took the player out, and when I insert a disc, it just spins and spins and spins, displaying "Loading disc" on the display. It never gets past this step.
I would definitely recommend anyone looking at this product to stay away.

Amazon.com Product Description
Note: Toshiba SD-P2600 8.9" Portable DVD Player (Silver) is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Toshiba SD-P2700 8.9" Portable DVD Player instead.
Rely on it when you're on the road and savor its performance at home: Toshiba's SD-P2600 DVD-Video/DVD-Audio portable DVD player is distinguished by its sleek appearance, 8.9-inch polysilicon widescreen display, and high-resolution 1,024 x 600-pixel image. The TFT (thin-film-transistor) active-matrix display delivers film-like images rich in detail, color resolution, and contrast.
Besides media playback versatility--it handles everything from DVD-Video to DVD-R, VCD, MP3/WMA CD, and a host of image formats--the SD-P2600 offers Toshiba's ColorStream PRO progressive-scan component-video outputs (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and employs an 10-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter to cement its guarantee of stellar image quality. A sleek, credit-card-sized remote control simplifies operation.
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-P2600 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection (Digital Cinema Progressive). DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown reversal digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
Further, a Toshiba feature called Direct Digital Solution sends a DVD's video information to the LCD driver directly from the unit's MPEG decoder in its original digital form, bypassing unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion steps to deliver the best picture quality possible.
Toshiba's digital photo viewer displays images right on your television in a variety of popular formats, including Konica, Fuji Photo, Kodak Photo CD, as well as standard JPEG files--there's even a Secure Digital/MultiMedia Card slot to further simplify viewing. An onscreen display walks you through the process of making your own slideshows, in which you can preset the viewing time of each slide as well as zoom, rotate, and pan each photo.
Leading-edge 24-bit/192 kHz digital-analog converters from Analog Devices delivers exceptional 2-channel DVD-Audio frequency response and dynamic range. DVD-Audio discs deliver high-resolution audio, capturing and reproducing all of the nuances of the original performance and offering high-resolution surround sound as well as stereo. (DVD-Audio resolution is available through the analog audio outputs only.)
A pair of built-in headphone jacks let you watch or listen with a partner, while Spatializer N-2-2 ULTRA and Natural Headphone virtual surround sound algorithms simulate surround through 2 speakers or 1 set of headphones. Built-in stereo speakers grant headphone-free listening through high-efficiency titanium drivers in bass-reflex enclosures for more full-bodied sound than typical portables produce.
The SD-P2600 passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals through its coaxial-type digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The supplied lithium-ion battery blends seamlessly with the player's cosmetic profile and offers around 3.5 hours of uninterrupted movie or music entertainment. The battery also charges quickly, in around 3 hours.
What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote battery, car cord, a component-video interconnect, a stereo audio/composite-video interconnect, an AC power adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.......2005-12-04
My unit was manufactured in March 2004 and died a year and half later after minimal use.
terrible.......2005-03-20
I purchased this player about a year ago and rarely used it. the picture ,the sound and everything else worked just fine until today . the player won't play anything at all . this is terrible . its not like i use it everyday. i recommend this player to no one. stay away.
Bad, Bad, Bad Supplier.......2004-12-31
No Stars would be better. My husband bought me this unit for Christmas. This was his first online shopping experience and he nor I will ever shop from Office Depot, Tech Depot etc..ever again! You think you are buying from Office Depot when your item get shipped from Tech Depot who then denies that they are the same company when you call them. It is impossible to know ahead of time but, they will not return ANY Toshiba products even if they are defective. They did apoligize that Amazon has an incorrect return policy posted on their site.....go figure! Do not purchase from them unless you want absolutely NO support.
Cool toy but limited.......2004-12-15
After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to buy this model instead of the 2700 (although there appears to be very little difference between the two). Upon opening the box and testing the unit, I immediately noticed a 'hung' pixel in the upper left of the screen. It stays lit (white) on many scenes and becomes annoying at times. I was told that this is not uncommon and that another unit may exhibit a similar flaw.
The picture is very vivid once you get the proper alignment between yourself and the screen. Any movement up or down will necessitate a change in the screen angle to keep the picture quality the same. So, if you watch it from your lap in bed as I do, this may take some getting used to. Also, there are no color or picture adjustments that would allow you to customize the output to suit your tastes. I found this very limiting because some scenes are just too dark and the 4-way brightness adjustment is just not enough to get it right.
As far as the sound is concerned, the speakers are very weak and offer virtually no bass whatsoever (even though they are advertised as bass reflex). Headphones add a lot, but I also noticed quite a bit of distortion. Again, there are no sound controls that would otherwise give you control over this characteristic.
So, although others love this model, I cannot give it super high marks. Oh yes, the battery works fine and it has a remote that you need for many of the 'features', which seems ridiculous for a portable. I guess if you plan to use it to drive your home theater then the remote makes more sense, even though this model doesn't.
At $299 this would be a great value. Above that, it's average at best.
Poor quality player for price!.......2004-12-10
Ok....I read all reviews about the 2600 before I bought it and was really looking forward to purchasing a high quality machine. Boy was I disappointed. The picture is heads above the other portable DVD's I have looked at, there's no argument about that. I find fault with this machine, in that, to change cinema screens you have to stop the machine. I hooked the player up to my television and the Video out, which is NOT seperate from the audio, (you have one plug in to the AV and three plugs going to audio and video)did not work. I hooked my daughters Polaroid DVD player up and it worked flawlessly! My Toshiba costs over twice what I paid for her's. Last, the navigation of the Toshiba is very hard to manuever around. They should have made things a lot simpler to get around this machine. I was really disappointed in this product. I sent it back immedietely.

Just Ok Personal DVD Player.......2007-03-15
***
For the money, this DVD player is fine, but it is definitely an entry-level player. I had bought a smaller Mintek (7") before that I was extremely pleased with. This player, although larger, is missing some of my favorite features present in the smaller player. My favorite feature in my old unit (which lasted for two years of extremely heavy use---say two hours daily) was the fast forward and fast backward. These multiply the speed each time you hit the FF or FB (first time is 2X, second time is 4X, etc.---all the way up to 32X). I had liked this because with the subtitles on, I could fast forward through boring parts of DVDs and still quickly read what, if anything, was going on. The fastest speed on this player has increased from 16X to 32X but you can no longer read the subtitles above 2X while the action is FF-ing so you no longer know what if you're missing something. Or you can FF really slowly at 2X. You have to watch the whole DVD.
This DVD player is part of a kit, coming with all accessories, cords, batteries, etc. so you only need to spend the purchase price. It comes with only one headset, though (instead of two headsets like the smaller version).
The picture quality is great, and I do enjoy the larger size screen. A small increment in screen size makes a HUGE difference!
Pretty much all of the functions of the player are on both the player and the remote. This is an improvement over the smaller version. As a side note, I have been using the remote from the old player on the new one, since it hasn't failed yet, with no problems.
This player seems as sturdy as the old one. It closes without a latch, just four silicone pads, two on the top and two on the bottom of the screen, but so far it hasn't fallen open. I'm pretty careful with it though, because my old one failed because of the many, many time I dropped it, especially the last time, which torqued the screen and almost separated it from the rest of the player.
You can't argue with the price, I just expected more and better, not less with a bigger screen. This wouldn't be a bad purchase, just not a great one.

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy flicker-free progressive-scan video image on the go or in your home, even without a high-definition or HD-ready television.

Product Description
DP8240 Portable DVD has rugged OFF-ROAD design for durable entertainment on the go! It is made for the rigors of an active lifestyle with Anti-Shock Protection (ASP) and Impact Shield Rubber Edges. PRODUCT FEATURES: 8.4" LCD screen - Widescreen 16: 9 format; Plays DVDs, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, Music CDs, Kodak Picture CDs, MP3 audio and JPEG image files on CD-R/RW; A/V out & Digital Coaxial audio out - Connect to home theater system; A/V input - Connect a camcorder, video game, or other A/V source.
Amazon.com Product Description
Specifically designed to stand up to challenging conditions--such as entertaining the kids while driving over rough terrain--the GoVideo DP8240 portable DVD player prepares you for the adventures that lie ahead. The unit's off-road construction is built for the rigors of an active lifestyle, with anti-shock protection (ASP) to prevent disc interruption and stylish "impact shield" rubber edges that cushion electronics from bumps and bruises. The player's 8.4-inch LCD screen, meanwhile, is configured for 16:9 widescreen movies, so you can enjoy the DVD format in all its glory.
The DP8240 comes with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack good for about 2.7 hours of playing time, along with a credit-card-style remote that's small enough to slip into a pocket. In addition, the player isn't restricted to DVDs, with support for such additional formats as DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, audio CD, CD-R/RW, Kodak Picture CD, and recordable discs filled with JPEG images or MP3 music files. You can even show your custom digital photos in slideshow format to relatives while traveling.
Among the unit's playback functions are multi-angle playback, which shows select movie scenes from different angles (requires compatible DVD); multi-speed forward and reverse scan; track programming (MP3 only) for creating a custom play list; repeat play (one or all tracks); and subtitles (also requires compatible disc).
The LCD screen isn't restricted to DVD playback, either. Users can connect a camcorder, video game console, or other external audio or video source through the A/V inputs to enjoy home movies and games through the display while on the go. Plus, the DP8240 offers a coaxial digital audio output, which you can route through your 5.1 surround-decoding A/V receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy true home theater sound (cable not included). As an alternative, you can listen through the built-in stereo speakers, or take advantage of the 3.5 mm headphone jack to listen in private.
The unit even sports a progressive-scan/S-video output for use with your high-definition or HD-ready TV or monitor. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Simply connect the DP8240 to an HD-capable TV and you'll see full 480p resolution, rather than the 480i that's native to the built-in monitor.
Finally, the DP8240 includes a few extra accessories for added convenience, including a cigarette lighter adapter that plugs into your car's 12-volt cigarette jack, a universal AC/DC power adapter, one audio and one video hookup cable, and a quick reference guide. The unit also carries a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

Portable DVD.......2006-11-28
I bought this dvd player for my 11 year old daughter for Christmas 2005. After about 4 months the screen went black and it had a butning smell every time we tried to use it. The machine was very well taken care of and never damaged. Unfortunately, I can't return it for a refund and can't seem to find out how to have it repaired so I guess I will be purchasing another one this year. I would not recommend this product.
go.video.......2006-09-09
This is an awesome player. Never has failed. Could be a little lighter. The Battery is a bit of an anchor, but otherwise I've thoroughly enjoyed this player.
Broke quickly and horrible customer service.......2006-06-21
I purchased this item for over $200 from Amazon.com in the summer of 2005. After fewer than ten uses in less than a year the screen went completely dead. This item was treated very carefully, never dropped, etc. Getting in touch with customer service at GoVideo has proved impossible, either via phone or the web so I am stuck with a broken DVD player and no recourse. I strongly recommend that people do not buy this product.
stop him.......2006-05-09
This is an average portable DVD player, no better than the Magnavox it replaced. It doesn't reliably play burned DVDs and at times has trouble with new store bought DVDs. The volume is just loud enough for a car. I looked around a lot. It sounded great but isn't. There must be better ones out there.
Warranty Service is really Baaaaddddd!.......2006-04-29
We bought four of these units. Three are working great. One needed service after only a few weeks. They have had the unit for four months and I still do not have a replacement.

JUNK!!!!.......2007-12-25
This is the worst piece of junk I have ever seen! I installed it easy, Plugged it in, set the clock, pushed the open dvd button... nothing! The screen was blue at first, and you could adjust the settings, then it was white and nothing could be seen on it. I was so displeased with this product I was just happy I got it as a gift, if I have spent money on it I really would have been mad!!!
Not Good.......2007-12-22
We purchased this unit a little over one year ago and have found it to not be a good product but it serves the purpose for which we bought it. The good points are that the screen rotates and since the cabinet we mounted it under is over the island separating the kitchen and dining room, it serves both rooms. It accepts Cable TV which we had installed to it about 4 months ago.
Now the poor points (as others have explained) - The picture quality is poor both from the sharpness of the picture and the small viewing angle (both horizontal and vertical). But what can you expect for a $119 small screen TV? It plays DVD's well when it decides to play the DVD. It is very particular as to what DVD it will play even if they are new commercial DVD's. The sound is way too loud when it comes on and needs to be turned down each time. It poorly receives TV channels over the antennae even though we are located within a few miles of the main broadcasting towers for the Los Angeles area. It works well with Cable TV. The TV screen just gave up as well as sound for TV and DVD. We are waiting to hear from GPX as to the repair options, although I expect the repair cost to be near the replacement cost. $10 a month for this unit is not acceptable to us and we will not buy another GPX again. We'll search for a reliable name brand unit with a decent warranty.
My screen died too!!!!!!.......2007-05-23
I had the GPX model without DVD and it lasted less than 5 months. My husband is a sears employee and bought it from them, not realizing it had only 90 day guarantee. What a piece of @##$!!!The cost to repair was almost same as original price so we chucked it and are researching replacement. It was so nice when it worked though, cant wait to replace it.
TV Screen will die.......2007-03-20
We bought ours about 5 months ago and thought it was great up until this past week. Went to turn it on a few days ago and the sound was working, but the screen was blank. I started looking online and found that other people were having the same problem. It's not worth $100 for 5 months worth of use.
Good for 90 days.......2007-03-17
It is good for the first 90 days then the screen goes (less than a week actually). Since the place i got it from (Walmart) can't give your money back after 90 days and they only sell it during Christmas I had to send it back to GPX.
GPX told me to send it back even though it was past the 90 day warranty with out any questions. This tells me they have had a lot of problems with this unit.
