Toshiba SD-P2500 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player
Nice product but poor UI
`<br />Purchased 2500 after significant diligence here and other sites.  Really nice player, but would probably not purchase again due to deficient user interface for my primary needs.<br />Primary use:  Airplane travel with homemade dvd-r<br />Primary complaint:  Spend alot of time watching dvd's recorded off of TV in an airplane seat.  The primary need for such use is easy access to fast forward to get through commercials without a remote.  There is no FF button on the player, itself (there is one on remote).  It is necessary to navigate through two screens and then scroll through an onscreen remote.  This is VERY inconvenient.  I have often clicked the wrong button (av chooser) which takes me out of the dvd that I am watching requiring me to restart from the beginning.  Wrong player for this application.<br />An associated issue is that there is no easy way to save where you are at in a show if you power down the unit (e.g., change batteries, 10 minutes before landing).  Need to restart next power up.<br />Postives:  Great sound.  If you read reviews about other players, sound level is a major shortcoming of competitive models (my Sony laptop, included).  Sound here is tremendous.<br />Great picture.  Able to play DVD-R's most of the time.  (After about 6 hours of fairly consistent use, I had a problem that may have been related to overheating of the unit.  It seems resolved, now.)<br />`
