Toshiba SD-P2700 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player
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\\" occurs when using the battery, the electrical cord or the car adapter...it makes absolutely no difference.  We thoroughly read and followed the instructions before using the player for the first time.  We also referred to the manual when we ran into this freezing problem, but no mention of a fix there.  We contacted Toshiba USA and Toshiba Canada with negative results even though the player is in mint condition, under warranty and with all the accessories.  Our advice to you...don't buy this model or any others from Toshiba.
