Toshiba SD1700 DVD Player
I wish I read these reviews before buying this Piece of...
My brother purchased 2 of these DVD Players. One for himeself, and one which he gave to me as a christmas gift in December of 2001.  Today Less than 1 year later both units are DEAD.<br />Both units exhibited the same symptoms.  The first thing we noticed was that the display was dead, other than that it seemed to be reading the DVD fine.  Well after the copyright warnings, and production logos we quickly realized that there was no sound either.<br />Several email correspondence with Toshiba tech support have been fruitless.  I will get NOTHING AND LIKE IT!<br />If this is how they stand behind their products I will never be buying another product bearing the Toshiba name.<br />It is unfortunate that all of the satisfied users who have not had their DVD Players long enough to experience this problem have already left 5 star feedback.  It makes for an artifically high overall review.
