Toshiba SD-P1200 7-Inch Portable DVD Player (Red)
Tested in Iraq
I am an American Soldier in the US Army Infantry.  Our living conditions over here does not support the fragile conditions needed for most DVD players.  This does not stop soldiers from buying DVD players, we need them to help keep our sanity.<br />This DVD player from Toshiba has been with me for 7 months. the only problem I have had with it is the cutoff button than shuts off the screen when you close the screen.  That is an easy fix and a minor problem, all you do is pull up on the little button.  That is probably why other people in the states say thiers cant't take bumps in the car.<br />Well I can tell you, I am in charge of an Armored vehicle and in a Bradley it is a very bumpy ride.  I have had zero problems with my Toshiba while other guys keep buying cheaper DVD players over and over again.  My Toshiba has been thru sandstorms, and keeps running smoothly.  It has been in tempertures of over 130 degrees.<br />I am pleased enough with this product to take the time to write this to say good job Toshiba and thanks for such a durable product.  I have seen hundreds of movies on mine and as for the battery, mine lasts up to almost 4 hours.  No problems there and I keep my battery connected.  I think the problem people are running into is they rely on outlet power and keep the battery connected while using the DVD.  I rely on my battery. And charge it when I have electricity.<br />Anyways if you want a durable DVD player, this is your DVD your looking for.<br />Michael W. McFall<br />SSG, USA<br />Bradley Commander
