Toshiba SD-P2000 Portable DVD Player
Let Down
It could be a good unit but: <br />1) As others mentioned with the normal sound setting, the volume is way too low, even for headphones.  And with headphones attached, there is a very loud background noise (hiss) generated by the on-board speakers.  <br />2) I also noticed (at least in the unit I had) that the sound mix was heavy towards the left channel, i.e. the center sounds were not exactly center.  I tested this with many DVDs and had the same bad result.  Annoying.  <br />3) The battery is way too bulky for a portable.  All these companies should show their units with the battery pack as well before you buy them.  The Panasonic models have such a smaller profile.<br />4) Even with all the good on-paper video specs I found the picture not as warm.  Again, I think the Panasonics imho seem better.<br />So, I think I'll be returning mine and taking a look at the Panasonice DVD-LA95 instead.
